Catching squid is a bit hit and miss for me. The water coming out of the river always seems to make the water murkey, when we do get them they are huge. I have some areas outside of the heads but then the wind and swell generally mucks it up. I know fresh is way better than frozzen. There are some squid you can buy in a blue and white box, its called Californian squid. The kings love strips & whole pieces of that. Will probaby take some as back up.
Whats those F12's F18's you talk about. Got a picy or link? I have some rapalas that dive deep & a big blade lure, some sps with long tails & some skirted lures I might give a go. Heard there are som bonitos about. -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

I dont have any probs ketching kungs on frozen squid on days squiddy's are thick I stock up & freeze them in individual bags thaw out as I need need if live wuns get ellusive to ketch.
Have even caught up to 3 kungs on wun squid last wun got nailed just on the squids hook previous girly must've liked Head  Smaller squid have started arriving allready in close, you'll start to notice a decline of the bigger squids as time goes by QUOTE Whats those F12's F18's you talk about.

QUOTE 2. click downrigger club. QUOTE Downriggers Club Welcome To The Downriggers Club Welcome to The Downriggers Club any I hope you will join our new fishing club. It has taken quite a bit of planning, many, many phone calls and emails but the groundwork has been done and now everyone can enjoy the results over the coming years. We are going to organise downrigging competitions in the coming months and these comps will be held in Pittwater and Broken Bay. Other areas will become involved in the near future including offshore. All you have to do to enter or join our club is to contact us via our booking page. In the comments section, provide us with your postal address, contact details and email address and we will join you up. The idea of this club is not to only run competitions but to provide you all with a website that is full of information on products, locations, tips and formulas to catch fish. I will endeavor to put up new product information for you all once a month at least. I must stress that this club is aimed at all friendly people that love to have a great time and freely share information. Our competitions are aimed at having fun and getting out on the water not necessarily catching the most or biggest fish. Classes of competitions are yet to be confirmed but all the usual – Largest Fish – Mystery Species- Lucky Size and – Angler Of The Year (most species not biggest fish) and finally Clubman Of The Year. This last category is for those wonderful people that spend more time organizing and helping people than they get to fish. Other benefits. If you are a club member and join us for a charter you will get to fish for up to an extra 2 hours (weekdays only) just because you are a club member. We are talking with Flybridge Performance Fishing Tackle (importers of Walker Products) and they are willing to support our club and our members. The benefits are being talked over and shortly we may be able to announce a deal regarding their fine, robust, inexpensive equipment. If you are going to buy a downrigger talk to me first and we can organise so your local tackle shop can supply you with their wonderful products at a fraction of their competitors. Buy Walker Downriggers and you wont be disappointed. I hope you enjoy the articles and upcoming stories. Best Wishes. Peter Le Blang Well there goes another 15 minutes of life I'll never get back, I put you in my ignore box Bees. -------------------- SEAFARER: Fine as a Fairy's Fart |

something i read on that site that makes sence
trawl with the current not against it. All the fish caught were when travilling with the current would you drown a squid going against the current as he suggests -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

All the fish caught were when travilling with the current would you drown a squid going against the current as he suggests Wouldn't call it gospell & dont really agree with the claim Do agree that fish wont waste their energy swiming into a current but still gives no merit to the claim simple because the initial attraction for the fush is the boat itself [your boat is the best FAD you've got] prop wash also gets them curious after which they see the bait/lure. Have seen species like marlin/tuna zoom in on lures up to 100 meters away port & starboard off the boat. When this happens they have no probs directing their attention to the bait, also bear in mind we only witness surface current 5 meters below chances are there's no current @ all. Admittingly on marlin/tuna troll days have had all the strikes going in only wun direction & 2b honest against the current ps] squid/live bait wont drown trolling them against the current -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |

didnt think you could drown a squid
speaking of squid, the fish i caught on the weekend had spat out a lot of baby sqidies as well as some white bait. Cannon have another acsesory for the down rigger its a speed and temp gage you can send down on the bomb it also measures % of light works on batteries and wireless transmits info back to the unit not recamended for salt water use though -------------------- insanity takes it's toll, I make sure I have plenty of spare change

Speed sensor is a total waste of time no different than those paddle types used on sounders, varying current speeds [running with & against] gives ewe inacurate speed readings unlike GPS which will allways give ewe true speed.
Temp gauge would be very nifty, if ewe've ever been down on scuba or just plain old snorkel'd temp changed are noticed right away as ewe decend -------------------- Save The Fish, Eat a Pussy |
