done any landbased? picnic bay jetty is good for squid at night at the start of the jetty or where there is squid ink on the jetty planks.
No joy land based yet but I've given it a fair crack.
Did see 3x 1 meter long Spaniards follow up my lure at Picnic Bay jetty!
There was a turtle hanging around and I really didn't want to hook him...
Did see a huge school of gars getting smashed by Tiger squid in the shallows in broad daylight which was pretty spectacular!
Will give Picnic Bay jetty another go on Saturday. Lots of locals casting out live herring... plenty of baitfish around.
Are you coming to our snapper season meet up? lol

where you on a fishing charter boat?
Yes mate, just a small charter operator and I was the only customer on board! Best $135 ever spent! (Although it was an early Father's Day pressie) :thumbsup:

That’s not an unreasonable question.
