South West Squid

[KaiH]

As I've not posted recently I thought I had better.

Quick session Friday morning in Torquay after a tip off from Bob that squid were about.

Not too hopeful with the cold, wind and swell which made a float and freelined jig impossible.

Managed four nice sized ones. My hands were too cold to bother trying to catch any other species.

Well done on the Squiddies Kai!

Well done mate, was a bit bitter in the morning,

 

[Mr Fish]

I keep thinking I want to try that. Then I think the fuel down to the south coast would cost a lot more than a box or two of squid ???

Capn H did suggest they might be at Ilfracombe pier, so I suppose I could give it a go there in the autumn.
Do hate piers though, I’m not a sociable angler!

I think there are squid around in a lot of harbours etc but nobody fishes for them.

There is something addictive about fishing for squid.

He was catching them in around 8 or 10 foot of water as it goes so not deep
