queensland manly harbour eging report

[kevinchen19870316]

just a short report. angolee and me took a train to manly harbour around 8 in the morning.

we met chubbstar around 10ish after i managed 2 good size squid ( biggest 21cm tube) then i got another 2 ok size ones and missed a good size school!:blush:

then we moved in the harbour cuz the wind's bloody strong. i managed another 2 good size one and a baby b4 i decided to call it a day.

will certainly do better next time when the wind's not blowing like today.

i think chubbstar has a couple of pics.

[fishyman]

im considering it haha

[kevinchen19870316]

yeah sure man. or u can use them whenever u like but pay me when u loose them, lol.

[fishyman]

haha sweet, youll have to teacch me

[namyau]

jigs are cheap fishy. i noticed that bcf have a surecatch squid jig pack there are 2 packs one with smaller and the other with larger jigs. i think they are around 30 and you get about 10in the pack with a special designed case. not bad priced or you could always shell out for some jdm ones and get a jdm daiwa emeraldas bag

[fishyman]

yeah they are cheap but still i spend to much already haha

[kevinchen19870316]

try getting some yo-zuri oita in 2.5 and 3.0, they r perfect for average depth water.

[pinkey]

Nice squidding guys,

Brisfisher, what else do they sell at the rocklea markets fishing wize?

[BassTracker]

So were you guys using the really long 8 footish rods ive seen them using in the videos, or just using breaming gear?

[kevinchen19870316]

i was using a 3-11lb megabass fullhouse with tuned calida kix. so u can consider that heavy bream gear.

[brisfisher]

pinkey,its only a small stall that usually has a good range of jiggs n a few custom made rods occasionally ive seen a few rapala lures layin about but nothin too special.best to get down there n see whats available on the day...

[kevinchen19870316]

any top end yo zuri jigs? like flashdancer, aora, phenomeno skin and other good ones?

[STU]

You ever tried trolling the jigs I did it once on my honeymoon around a shallow reef at great keppel I got one squid but the charter guide said it was not the best time of year to target them it was a different experience but I was more keen on casting poppers at queenies and trevs so we didnt try for to long

[chubbstar]

Was good to meet you guys. We'll have to do it again sometime when I can spend a bit more time fishing. Oh and the shopping with my wife wasn't that bad.:ohmy:

[BassTracker]

Looks like their thinking.. "Oh so thats where squid comes from!"

[pinkey]

nice work mate

[Dan23]

Good report can't wait to have a try on the weekend. The water looks alright there too.

[kevinchen19870316]

thanks guys for the comments.

those 2 squid r the typical size squid i got there and the biggest one's probably twice the weight of one of these. i saw a massive one today but man, i was too excited that i strike too early and too hard so....bend hook!!!

[EMP]

Hey Kev/ Chubbstar/ AngGoLee,

Wish I was there to meet you guys.

I still am unwell and quite time pressed to get better.

Anyway, great squids there, guys. You must've been busy preparing dinner.

No worries, there is always next time.

[bigtez]

Are these the YoZuri ones you are talking about Kev?

http://motackle.com.au/index.cfm?pr=product&product_id=3543

Might add a couple to my next order and head down to the Redcliffe pier for a flick. Do the squid prefer a particular colour?

Terry

[Angus]

ive found pink/orange to be best for me but als one time got hit using a smaller size 1.5 green one by a cuttlefish. but always safe to have at least 1 colour of each and try and get different sizes. matching size is important as a smaller squid wont really be game enough to take a larger jig unless its really hungry
