The slightly less attractive one is the squid.

It was a last minute decision to join Pussca out at Wello for sunset session. I caught the squid as we exited the Chanel and turned for huybers around 6pm.

I left tBox at home to ensure I would outfish her

Mate I've seen a lot of people using little fluro sticks attached to their fishing line about 30cm above their squid jig.... but I haven't personally seen any conclusive testing to prove that lights are better.

But then again.. I guess it would help... when you take into consideration how many jigs have glowy bits on them, if not a large portion of them glow in the dark.

Lights on poles??...as in the poles you stick in the water and submerge the lights?? I've never seen anyone use them or know of any methods with them. Maybe some of the more mature members would be able to elaborate on how to use them...someone like JeffF.
