Sunday Squiding result

Hello!

I went Squiding on boat with Graham in Sunday. I try same points when usually cast from on the rock.

It was same situation in Saturday. The high tide, calm and warm.

The answer was return soon when arrived here. We caught some squids. But average size was small.

This situation was effective under 2.5 size. I used EGIOH Q LIVE 2.5 BOKP.
But I wanted big size squid. I change 3.5 size a jig and cast cross to deep area.

Then, I caught big size squid by EGIOH Q LIVE 3.5 BPN. The big squid followed when this photo squid was fight time. If you are facing same situation. I recommend a follow cast soon. You will be able to get these squid.

This day was squid activity was high. We caught a lot of squid around here.

Saturday morning

Hello!

I went Squiding at around Cronulla.

It was perfect day for Squiding because calm and warm.

I caught a first squid when just 3rd cast. It was small size. But I was very happy.

I waited to this moment for a long time. The jig was EGIOH Q LIVE 2.5 RROC.

Then, I caught next squid when a jig cange.

This one was a little bit big. The jig was EGIOH Q LIVE 3.5 RPA.

I think this point good when around high tide time. And you will be able to catch short time because usually squid make school.
I got rid of a slump this day. I had nice day.
Then, I had good result today also.
I will write this report tomorrow.
Bye-bye a slump!!

This afternoon fishing

Hello!!

I'm staying at Coffs Harbour now. Maybe I'll stay around here in this week.

This afternoon I went Bream fishing at river.

Sometimes bait fishes spring to surface. I felt this situation was good to Top water lures.

Then, I was a select Maria MP-1 55F from my box.

I was casting to under the pier. Long time stay, 5 walk the dog actions, Long stay again...

Suddenly a bream attacked my lure. And hook up.

But, a line was break easy soon because rub to a pier.

I lost chance of only.

I felt chagrin today.

But, when I was arrival fishing pont I couldn't believe my eyes.

Today was big swell condition.

I caught nothing of course. It was good lesson.

Life has its ups and downs.

How to choose a jig colour.

Hello,

Today I'll tell you how to choose a suitable jig colour for different situations.

The jig colour is an important point for Squiding because squid's eyes are very developed.

Squid can recognise colour.

The colour choice depends on water colour, brightness and squid activity.

Squid jigs have 2 different colours.

1. Under tape colour and 2. outer cloth colour.

1. Under tape colour relates to the time of the day you are fishing. For example Red and Glow under tape is very suitable in low light conditions. Gold, Silver and Rainbow under tape are suitable for day time conditions.

2. Outer cloth colour choice depends on the water colour and squids activity. For example pink and orange outer cloth are suitable when the water is dirty or when the squid are active. (These colours are good first choices) Natural colours are suitable in clear water or  where there are many baitfish. Olive, brown, purple ans blue are suitable when the squid are nervous and wont react to bright pink and orange colours.
Please refer to the following table for best colours for different conditions.

Squiding basic method

Hello,

The weather is getting worse today. I couldn't go to fishing.

Today I will imform you about the day time Squiding method.

The basic method is as follows.

1.Cast for sweet spots.
2.Feeling to touch the bottom.
3.Pick up slack line.
4.1 or 2 sharp jerks.
5.Wait for the jig to fall.
6.When the jig falls then the squid will bite.

If you couldn't feel any bites please return from 5 to 1.

This is basic method in day time.

Let's try it!  (go away rain)

Afternoon fishing

Hello,

This afternoon I went fishing by canoe.

The conditions were calm. It was a parfect day for the canoe.

The feeling was very nice beacuse of the beautiful fishing point. there were oyster rocks ,weeds, banks and mangrove.

Many bait fish splashed and I could see some target fish.

But, fish condition was low activity

Sometimes I need to pause between each action when working the lure.

The result was only 2 small Tailor.

I was using a Maria hard body. I used MS-1D45SP GBOH.

The result was poor but, I had a good day because the feeling of the place was good.

The result this morning

Hello,

I went Squiding this morning.

The condition was low tide and calm. The calm conditions are very nice for Squiding.

But, I couldn't catch squid.

I selected a shallow area as my house is near this shallow area.

The selection of the place was a mistake because of the low tide, I think a deep area would be better.

I need to search for more deep areas.

This photo is today's fishing point.

This point has rocks & sea weed.

I was using the following jig.

EGI OH Q LIVE 3.0 BRN

Today's result

Hello,

But, there was strong wind today and very low tide condition.
I caught only 1 small size flathead.

I was using a Maria hard body. It was the shallow crank MC-1 S38F GBOH.

This result was unsatisfactory to me. I need more effort.

I had a nice day.

Hello,

Squiding in Wollongong

Hello,

Today I visited some shops in Wollongong and after I went Squiding in the afternoon.

The location was Shell Harbour (Bass Point)
I caught 2 squid at this point. I used the Yamashita squid jig EGI OH Q LIVE 3.5.

This photo is today's result.

To begin with this squid attacked my jig! This one is small size.


Next, Another squid attacked my jig. The size is bigger. The photo is as follows.

The method is 3 to 5 sharp jerks then wait for the jig to fall.

The pause after each action is very important when squiding!
It is when the jig falls that the squid will bite.

Today's situation is as follows.

1.Shallow area.
2.Clear water.
3.Time is daytaime.

The jig color I selected has gold under tape, outer cloth is olive and natural color because of  this situation.

Jig color is very important point.

Today's Fishing Result

Hello,
I went to Squiding in Sydney. Today was verywindy. I had hard fishing.

The result was nothing. Because of the poor conditions.

I think the EGI OH Q LIVE 3.5 squid jig is effective in these conditions because it has long casting ability.

I recommend these jigs for these condition.

This photo is a jig used today. EGI OH Q 3.5 color of SOK.
