Fishing for squid Marion Bay Jetty - jetty squidding

Fishing for squid Marion Bay Jetty - jetty squidding. We had heard that Marion Bay Jetty was a great place for fishing for squid, especially in winter. So we headed off to try our luck at squidding on a cold winter's morning and the Marion Bay Jetty didn't disappoint. Although the squid we landed we not huge by Marion Bay standards, they were the biggest we had ever caught!
We started squidding using squid jigs on handlines, hanging below a float. These were hard to cast out any great distance and kept floating towards the jetty. So we attached our float rig to our fishing rods, and were able to easily cast them out much deeper. We also switched to whole salted pilchards threaded onto the jigs. Small Australian Herring are good bait too. I used my favourite squid jig as well - a blue jig that rattles, but it did not bring me any luck.
Martin caught the first squid of the morning off Marion Bay Jetty almost as soon as we started fishing. He caught that on a handline with a white squid jig suspended from a float.
Then it was my turn. I caught a fantastic squid using a whole salted pilchard on a squid jig suspended from a float, using my fishing rod. I had cast the jig out and was retrieving it at a steady pace when the squid grabbed it. I thought I was stuck in the weeds because it was not moving, but soon realised it was actually a squid!
Martin threw a crab net in, and I floated the squid over the top of the net. He then pulled the crab net out of the water and brought the squid up onto the jetty with ease. What a great squidding trick! I was so excited about catching the squid that I forgot to measure it!
We headed back to the caravan park for a while then returned before sunset, to see if we could catch another big one. There was not a lot happening but then Martin pulled in a very nice squid. This one we did measure, and it had a 32cm hood. Martin caught that using his rod, with a whole pilchard squid jig on a float.
We had the best crumbed calamari recipe, so we fried up the squid rings using flour, egg and PANKO bread crumbs which are the best for crumbing calamari rings. So we had a great dinner ...they were just delicious. What a fantastic day! You can buy squid jigs and hand lines in the Marion Bay general store.

Yumo . Nice squid 🦑 sister. The old crab 🦀 net trick. Glad you’re doing that. Ps my favourite squid jag is called desquid. Check them out. I picked a few up from the tackle shop in victor harbour. I like the pink 1 and the gold 1 awesome jags. A little x ie but hay can’t take it with you. ? Sat on the new deck yet??

[@fishingsister]

Love the crab net. Takes the anxiety out of bringing the squid in 😏. Thanks for the jog tips. Will check them out! Not been on the deck yet. You have beaten me to it 😅

[@cointector]

👍👍

[@riazsheik3616]

Well done Martin.

[@owensmith2969]

Awesome ❤👍

[@sonia8327]

Awesome catch…. Love the great tips throughout this video. …. Marion Bay here I come!

[@fishingsister]

Marion Bay is just great! So close to lots of good fishing spots. We are going back in a couple of weeks 🤩

[@pitchkapizda8355]

Great squid fishing vid well done love it

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! Nothing like squid and they taste so good.

[@broderickwallis25]

A calm sea on a winter's day.... What a picture ! And great squid Fishing Sis !!!

[@fishingsister]

That day was so calm. It was beautiful and so quiet. Really different to the noisy surf fishing 😉

[@jenniferparkinson9411]

You guys were really doing an excellent job cooking up and serving your catch!! Obviously delish...And blinding everyone with science by using the enzymatic kiwi fruit hack...😆💗💖

[@fishingsister]

I cant believe how well it works. No more chewy squid🤗

[@fishingsister]

Did you catch many squid?

[@tommyswildfishing]

Nice video, as always!

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! Gotta love squid 😍

[@KimR85]

Love this! So happy for you both that you got down there and had a great squidding session! You smashed it 💪 So much fun!

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! It really was great. Did you see I put your comment in? Didn't want to use your last name tho..

[@KimR85]

Yes I did! Was a little excited actually! More then happy for you to add little comments 😊 They were amazing squid!!Marion Bay never disappoints. Summer down bottom of yorkes is coming up and that’s a whole new level of land based fishing. Can’t wait!

[@fishingsister]

Ypu will have to tell me more about where you go on the closed group. I just love yorkes 💖

[@KimR85]

Yes will do! I’ll keep you posted 👍

[@kevinbrian3244]

Brilliant. Hope you go OK at Browns the next couple of days

[@fishingsister]

Thanks Kevin. Can't go to yorkes this weekend sadly. Going crabbing tomorrow locally so that is awesome. Yorkes next weekend for sure though!

[@riazsheik3616]

Very interesting recipe.

[@fishingsister]

Nice and simple which is what you want while camping!

[@riazsheik3616]

@@fishingsister , unfortunately we do not have an abundance of kiwi fruit. The wife and I use white spirit vinegar. Which we purchased at the local grocery.

[@Martin.B.]

@@riazsheik3616 does that tenderize the squid also?

[@riazsheik3616]

@@Martin.B. Im sure whether it Tenderizer the squid meat or not. But it works for us special on our camping trips. To soak it overnight in vinegar spirits.

[@DIEmicrosoft]

Nice to see a hand line.

[@fishingsister]

We find it's good to have a couple of hand lines on a jetty. We call them "lazy squids" because there is no effort. It's easier than carrying rods and they are easy to use off a jetty👍

[@DIEmicrosoft]

@@fishingsister Yeah rods can be a pita.

[@oldbloke204]

Nice squid. I have also seen someone using a Squid gaff as well that is extendable. Light weight and might be easier to pack if you're not taking crab nets with you. Thanks for the video.

[@fishingsister]

Squid gaff.... I just looked it up...very interesting. I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion and the feedback❤️

[@oldbloke204]

@@fishingsister I actually saw it on another channel who did a lot of squid fishing but seems to have disappeared now. Cheers.

[@janet5551]

Once when we fished at Marion Bay the squid were umping out of the water trying to swallow our floats, they were huge and we caught about 12 in a day. Must really get back down there one day.

[@fishingsister]

Such a great place. Let us know if you do get there 👍

[@scale2tail]

Great size squid. just found your channel. Well done🎣🦑👌

[@fishingsister]

Thanks! We love what we do and it is awesome to get positive feedback. Makes it worthwhile 😆

[@scale2tail]

@@fishingsister just talking to my wife to book a week there after the holidays. We did stay at Corny point last year but the water was way too rocky and rough for fishing. So we headed to Point Turton for the day and caught some good size squid there. Gotta love SA 👌

[@fishingsister]

Also it's all so very close to so many beaches so not far to drive. Book your national park ticket before you leave😉

[@fishingsister]

We also have a facebook closed group if you are intrrested.

[@scale2tail]

@@fishingsister i dont do facebook. Im more of a instagram fave. I do photography so i use it a bit.

[@marky9810]

I use kiwi fruit to tenderise meat like steak etc. Green kiwifruit contains a natural enzyme called Actindin that breaks down protien makes it tender and soft.

[@fishingsister]

Thank you for that explanation. I will add it to my notes. I never thought of steak, but it does make sense. I'll give it a go👍

[@kulrai8978]

Head to brown beach sometime fish are waiting for the bait all the time if tide is good

[@fishingsister]

We have tried Browns beach a couple of times with no success. It is definitely a beach we want to catch a fish on. Perhaps next time we are on the Yorke Peninsula we might give it another shot. Thanks for the comment :). Have you fished Browns?

[@kulrai8978]

@@fishingsister yes I did but have you walked all the way down to right side of the beach for about 20 mins to cast haha very hard hate stepping that far ,but it definitely worth and fun catching

[@fishingsister]

Yes, that beach...its like a gym workout :)

[@tullysika]

What's the fishing like there in november?

[@fishingsister]

Hi Malcolm we have not been there in November but apparently the fishing is good year round. Winds should be a lot better then. Have you been to Yorkes before? It is such a beautiful place

[@kevinaldred5303]

Why don't you eat the tentacles... they are really the best part ... keep the tendrils for bait the rest you eat flaps and all ... keep the heads for crab bait and nothing is wasted

[@fishingsister]

Good question....we normally would eat the tentacles but as you can see we had way too much squid for dinner and we did not have much bait for the next couple of days. So we used some for bait.
