benny 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Was wondering how shallow is the shallowest squid normally go? Was wondering because me and my mate saw one in about 20cms of water chasing small fish, was over a sandy bottom too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
davidbloop 0 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I normally catch them fairly shallow. At second valley I often pop a float in water thats only about a metre deep and catch em there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benny 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Second Valleys pretty good! I lost a massive squid there once, I swear it was nearly a metre long too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mick013 2 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 at marino you get the biggest ones right up against the rocks. the trick is getting close enough without getting the boat stuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benny 1 Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Pretty shallow there, didnt know they came in that close until yesterday... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

benny 1 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 By coincidence, there was a school of fish it was chasing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmck 628 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Some years ago, dabbing in the shallows in Pondalowie bay, I netted a squid that was right on the waters edge- in about 5cm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
