Tonights squid 7/7/11
Hey all.
I only had to have a half day at school today so i asked my mate if he wanted to go for a squid down at woodies and the reply was yes so jumped in the car with all the gear and headed down to woodies.
Got to woodies and the wind was there but not to strong so i started flicking a jig around and got a cuttlie almost straight away. I released it and continued casting only to catch another one a few casts later which was also released. 
I then changed to a pink jig and started casting again, i then got 4 squid within 10mins only small but enough for a feed. I then moved down the rock wall abit cast out the jig and as i was walking down to get lower to the water i felt weight so i lifted the rod and set the jig into a decent squid which was only just hooked. I got my egi gaff out and got it in one motion right in the pointy part of the squid. The wind then picked up to much to continue there so we moved on.
We got to the other spot and the wind was nice there so started casting around and after half an hour or so i finaly got something but it was another small cuttlefish which i planned on releasing again and was only lightly hooked so i turned the jig upside down and started trying to shake it off but it grapped it even stronger with all its tenticlals. It then turned and shot ink all over my arm and back( my first real inking) then fell off the jig into the water and shot off. I then caught a decent squid which was followed by another then one more and that was all i got tonight. My mate then went on to catch another 4 before we called it quites as i didnt have a jumper and we were hungry.
Finished the night up with Garlic squid and chips Yummo.
Cheers danno.
And one for Goodz.

Can I ask if you were at the channel marker roundabout? And did a tall middle aged man ask you if you caught anything?

Bum bag
Danno can i inquire where you got your bum bag from?
Is it a egi specific bag or just a normal bum bag that you fit the 30 jigs in?
