Westernports big squid

 | By Seamus on 8/21/2014 8:05:18 AM | Views (65)

The squid fishing in Westernport Bay has been good recently, with some calm weather helping anglers to get out and get into them. With a bit of dirty water around the shallows, better results have come from anglers who are fishing deeper than normal, where the water is 'cleaner'. James from Unreel Fishing Charters has had some good sessions with customers out on the Port recently with squid over a kilo in weight. Deep sinking jigs in 3.0 and 3.5 sizes have been good, with natural colours like mullet, grass whiting and pilchard all doing the trick. 

Customer Adam fished down at Flinders pier recently where he landed some nice squid. Adam said that the most productive jigs were size 3.5 Yamashita jigs in R06 and R08 colours. The larger size caught were in the 1.5kg size range. Customer Scott also fished from the pier during the week where he reports some nice sized squid around. Scott said that the lager squid were shy but would follow smaller hooked squid up to the pier. The smaller squid Scott caught were in just under a kilo, with some of the larger models approximately 2kg plus. Scott said that size 3.5 shallow Yamashita jigs in mullet pattern were the most effective.
