Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.
The squid fishing has been good during the spell of warm weather we've had lately. The warm and clear conditions have kept the water clarity very good and the bait has been plentiful in the shallows around the reefs. The better areas continue to be the southern end of the bay but there have been some good catches coming from the top end around Black Rock and Beaumaris. The best areas to head before the big deluge of freshwater are from Mornington or Mt Eliza further south.
Customer Ryan fished from the shore up around Beaumaris during the week to land a good bag of squid and a couple of pinkies. Ryan was fishing with a newly purchased 'Black Water' squid rod and felt that the rod performed exceptionally with all jigs sizes. Ryan found that gold base jigs in size 2.5 were the most effective for him fished in the darkness. A second rod with fresh squid strips accounted for the pinkies, which came from no more than 2.5m of water around the broken reef.
Around Mt Martha the squid fishing has been good, with customer Bryan catching some nice squid and cuttlefish out from Martha Point. Bryan was fishing out of the kayak and found that larger jigs were more successful, especially in natural colours. Whiting and yakka patterns with silver foils were the best.
Customer Tas has been catching some nice squid around Mornington and Mt Martha recently. Tas has been catching squid to around 1kg on a variety of jigs and has just started using the EZ change clips, letting him change through jig colours/size very quick and making the most of the bite.
