JAYMAN 137 Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 Teamed up with Tristman and Jetman ,and went out for a squid session at point riley this morning launched the bertram with a strong easterly blowing but flat seas which put a smile on my dial.perfect for squidding . arrived at the squid hole/ledge with only 3 pro's on it no verbles exchanged which was good .sounder was showing a lot of squid not bulling but thick. jigs hit the water working in close around the 10 ft mark and drift out , bang ! instant action with 6 biggies on board ,time for another drift,on the second drift i noticed that a lot of squid was on the follow and the pro's were going quite so we managed to pull the squid of them, as they were all anchored on the bull ,anchored up and they left,had the bull to ourselves now, 6 drifts over the bull and ... and one quote of good sized squids, prepare your squid ,i like mine tenderised as it takes on the flavours better and easy to chew on. i only cook in salt water from the sea ,so best to grab some mineral salt water. sterilise your jars ,you can use tablets but boiling water will do. gather your spices i like to change it up in every jar. only boil your squid in salt water .do not rinse with fresh just strain and let it cool so you can handle it vineger and salt water only in the mix ,and if you pack the jars while the meat is warm it gives the jars that air tight pop when you open them to feast like a king ...https://youtu.be/BmMz3ift--Q cheers JAYMAN. seagypsy, Poppa Snake, Squid Inc. and 7 others 10 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

keenfisho 1,416 Posted January 17, 2016 Report Share Posted January 17, 2016 Great work jayman. Nothing wrong with taking the bag limit when its to feed family and friends. There are bag and limit sizes and everyone's entitled to take what they want within the rules. You can call yourself robin hood with that catch I you pinched it from the pros.....lol Poppa Snake and JAYMAN 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Really like the look of the pickled squid though, great write up. Use a scaling bag. Remove the head, cut about off about 1 cm above the bottom of the tube then tow behind the boat for a couple of minutes at 15 knots. They come out clean as a whistle.

SeaSeacol I lay mine on there back this opens the tube a bit slide my knife in keeping it well high in the tube and not too deep on the blade and cut tube open this leaves all guts flat . pull the head lifting it up and dragging it toward's the bottom of tube ,all entrails including ink sack wiil come off with head ,then simply cut the head off for bait , bin the rest ,the spine will still be there which will pull out once you get a nail under it ,turn it over drive a nail under flaps and pull em off ,youll need to give a little wash but no ink .

JAYMAN 137 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 3 weeks once the jar has been opened. unopened jars can last 4 to 6 weeks depends on how strong your vineger mix is 100% vienger will last longer but is way to sweet/strong as a basic guiedline.cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
