Port Phillip squid and other species

 | By Seamus on 9/18/2014 11:49:53 AM | Views (83)

The squid fishing has been good in Port Phillip Bay recently. There has been a run of good sized squid on most of the southern grass beds that have come in to spawn and these squid can be aggressive at times. James from Unreel Fishing Charters has been fishing the southern end of the bay in search of a few of these bigger squid, and all of his customer have had a ball catching them. Jigs in 3.0 and 3.5 sizes have been the way to go, with the smaller jigs working well in shallow around moorings and the larger 3.5's doing the trick out along deeper grassbeds and edges. Pink, orange and white colours have been performing well for James recently. 

Further up the bay customer Ryan has also been catching some good numbers of squid from his kayak. Ryan has been fishing a multiple rod assault on the squid, and also on other species inhabiting the same ground. On one rod Ryan has a size 3.0 Dartmax jig drifting just behind his kayak, while working small soft plastics in the direction he is drifting. Ryan has been catching some good numbers of sand and rock flathead, along with pinkies and red mullet amongst the squid. Customer Adz Van Luhhr has been giving the bream a going over recently in some tough to fish locations. Adz has seen a few fish cruising around which are rarely tempted by artificial offerings, but after switching up to unweighted creature baits he has started get a bit more interest from bream like this 41cm horse.
