  21. here is a great tip first rule of thumb if water is clear then u use natural colours when water is murky you use bright colour jagsand remember BURLEY crushed up pillies and i mean crushed up put into a surface burley pot and if they r around the area the scent of the crushed pillies will bring em in ,we tryed this method in the one spot on 2 consective days with very rough and murky waterday 1 didnt use the crushed pillies but tryed all other tricks for 3 squid in 6 hrs day 2 same conditions but more wind and chop so b4 any jags in we got a pkt of brined pillys and mushed em up in there packe
  22. see like all fish squid have a keen sense of smell so instead of trying all theese diff things to put on your jag with most of them affecting the swimming of the lure properly,as far as the squids attacking squids this happens after the breeding cycle and the girls start to be cannables and will attack and eat other squid,whyen you have squid around but very finiky this is because they r useualy gaurding the hatch and arnt hungry but will have a go at the lure if to close.now here is a realy good method to bring any squid in your area to you,all that is needed is a burley pot with some crushed
  23. heres one for the dedicated whiting fisho'sas this method comes from an old whiting fishoin streaky bay who used to have a cast iron hand mincer bolted on the back of his 14ft boat and whenhe would pull up on his favourite sand patchand send out a squid jag unda a floatand upon catching of a squid it would go striaght into the mincer point first and minced ova the side where it would creat a fresh burley trail downto a hungry school of kgw where he wouldget his quota every time,this can be adapted for other species by putting your frames ,pillies ect thrueg a handfull of pillies evvery 5 mins
  24. hey so is the new rapidbay jetty completed yet and if so when is the opening of the jetty does anyone no
  25. it seems that no one post up here anymore as there hast been any since last year anyhow atm there is no water in the torrens so i wouldnt go there ,if you want big carp go to mawson lakes and use cream corn with anaseed in it or fresh bread mixed with anaseed as the carp love the anaseed i nearly broke the metre with a pb carp from mawson lakes going 97cm on the above burley cheers :icon_e_surprised:
