Nice vid mate. Anywhere on Lake Macq you would recommend a kayaker to try for squid?

[@aussfish9995]

The drop over and murrays beach wangi point around pulbar island they spread all over the lake

[@offgriddreaming5403]

Great vid mate. thanks for sharing your knowledge and for no f bombs in this one so I can watch with the kids. ✌🏼

[@locklantonkin8679]

Great vid Dave cheers 🍻 Hopefully I’ll great on the lake this weekend and try to get some 👍

[@kevinhamment5265]

Love your videos, without doubt, one of the best boatman and fisherman I've ever seen, very much in touch with the sea, I hope this inspires others to watch your other videos. Best wishes mate

[@aussfish9995]

Thanks Kevin 🙏🙏

Another quality vid Dave!! Do you ever have any luck with catching squid in the harbor? I have only ever caught them up at Shoal Bay. And i think i was just lucky!

[@aussfish9995]

Not in the harbour I’ve caught big green off the end of the Breakwaters when the water is clear

Hey mate, I got 11 squid down at Murray's beach a while back , all on a 20g pink jig. Had 2 other colours, which didn't catch one. Brined some up for bait and ate some , beautiful fresh

[@aussfish9995]

Pinks a good colour 👍

[@EndlessWeekendlife]

Feel like i got my squid fix there mate. 🤙

[@aussfish9995]

😂😂😂👍

[@steviewright4556]

Yeah Davo the squid are top bait for the Jew.When I catch them just freeze them asap in airtight bags.Last a long time in freezer Thor em out good as new.Dynamite bait as you know.And when they thick can bag out pretty quick.Top stuff Davo👊👍🙂

[@aussfish9995]

Yeah I put them straightened in the freezer great bait

[@steviewright4556]

@@aussfish9995 yeah good to use them live if you can.But as you know just as deadly freshly frozen.Jewie lollipops.👊🙂👍 Get some Dave.

[@anthony2682]

Nice vid mate I use the same technique on the Hawkesbury working the rods like that must look weird to other fishos on the water but it sure works hahaha As you said gun jewie baits but I prefer to eat them as it’s heartbreaking when the pickers get to em, man are they good eating better than calamari in my opinion

[@aussfish9995]

I try to sneak them into the freezer without my Wife knowing she loves eating them.

[@brandontaunton4407]

Hey mate thanks heaps for the info, I live over at Dora creek/ Morrisset area and I’m just wondering if you know of any spots or have caught them this far away from the drop over. It’s a fair hike in the tinny to get over to Swansea area hahaha Thanks

[@aussfish9995]

I haven’t explored that far south squid fishing, yet 😂😂😂 Drift around with a paternoster rig while your lure fishing they would be there some where. I would start around Pulbah Island

[@craigparker4108]

Read reply above + underwater light at night. Squid are actually Nocturnal & when they are on you will bag out very quickly. So take some mates.

[@aussfish9995]

Another great tip

[@scale2tail]

Fantastic. I love squiding and i love eating them. We are only aloud 15 bag limit here in South Aus. But they sure are big enough. You only need 1 or 2 for a good feed. Also the mulloway love mullet here. Great work. Really enjoy the channel 👌

[@aussfish9995]

Thanks mate, the arrow Squid are smaller but we do get some cracking Green Eye squid in NSW. That’s my next mission to learn how to catch the big fellas at sea.

[@scale2tail]

@@aussfish9995 fantastic mate. Not too many arrows here. I haven't caught one myself. Definitely looking forward to it when i do. 🤞

[@andrewburrell5814]

Thanks for the tips Dave I've just started squidding

[@aussfish9995]

Me to, easy to catch frozen fresh deadly on jewfish on the Beach and good eating as well 👍

[@grimreaper6112]

Go squiding on the run up tide late afternoon or early morning on the new moon best time of any month and use yamashita pink glow or white jigs

[@aussfish9995]

Good tip you get them all year around

[@craigparker4108]

@@aussfish9995 Yes mate. Not as big or as vast a schools as the breeding schools of Spring/Summer. Plus we get Southern Calamari as well as Arrow Squid. They only live about a year so are very quick growing but some schools breed before others so there are varying sizes. Most adults die after breeding & like flattie the big ones are all girls. The cooler months you need to drift off the edge of weed beds & small drop-offs to find them then keep repeating that drift line. When the water is dirty move to an orange lure & then black but yes pink is the best colour in cleaner water. Anyway have a look into how Water absorbs colors of the light spectrum. You'll see how manufactures are having a lend of us & even more so in fresh water. Thanks for your vids & tips, I'm definitely going to try that bridle setup for live baits.

Great info Craig tight lines Dave
