Thanks very much for posting. am very new to squid fishing and based in Auckland, so it's great to see some local examples.

There is good squid fishing in Wellington.Off the rocks near Niwa buildings is one spot worth a try or any of the wharves at night.The ones you are still allowed to fish on.Squid like other fish respond well to burley.

Yes you can catch squid during the day.You will find them in the same areas and in deep water.Around Auckland they come in more numbers after dark when it is calm.

I use a Daiwa Egi (Squid) rod they make a few models.The key to a good squid outfit is a rod that casts jigs well.has quite a slow taper and a reel with a smooth drag.Once hooked you want your outfit to absorb the squid fighting so that you don't pull it off the jig.If I rated it it would be a rod suited to 4-6kg line. Hope that helps

Your videos are some of the precious little info there is about squidding in New Zealand. I want to ask for tips for squidding in Wellington, if anyone can offer anything I'd really appreciate it!

Try different weights but 2.5 -3 are most common and 4 in big current.Try varying the size of the jig as well.

Any tips for squidding in open ocean squidding with green lights?

[@FishyBusiness]

I use a dropper rig with two jigs in open water with a sinker on the bottom. Strong underwater lights will bring squid. up. I seen commercial guys using red and green.

I have to disagree with the statement made about squid fishing during the colder months. In Australia I target squid all year round and they are always there , land based as well. What I find is the squid tend to be more active during the warmer seasons and less active during winter. In saying that they are still there during winter, also i tend to catch the bigger ones during winter.

[@FishyBusiness]

That’s for sure.
