Yeah I got to get out and get some more squid, it has been some alright weather for it!

I'll be honest, went with the expectation of catching nothing but a cold haha learnt a few tricks for next time!

Forgot the photo.

Got there after 8, left around 11 last night so a couple of hours work. The quantity in the water got more as the night went on but i reckon they where smaller. Anywho, 2/3 a decent sized bucket full is going to keep the freezer nice abd full, now to use them. Was an interesting car ride back down south with them between my legs!!

Unfortunately the things on the pole aren't 100% clear, either Squid eggs or could be a kind of hydroid. I'd be reasonably confident in saying that was a strongy in the photo, I'm not sure when a strongy is no longer a juvenille because I've seen those spots on some decent sized fish before!

Yeah that's when i was going to give it a shot, was hoping maybe someone had ben out and i could get a bit of knowledge as i am a bit of a newbie when it comes to this!

Hows this looking so far? Pretty keen on getting out and giving it a try. Any reports??

Beach and Jetty fishing won't be effected.

Headed down to waits "yesterday afternoon" turned into early evening by the time we left here and re found our way after a wrong turn.... :f Walked up and down the beach, fishing the gutters, to only a small fish each, decided to pack it in on sunset, walking back we walked past two guys with nice fish, decided we would try with them, ended up catching 15 more, most a kg to 2 kg, was great fun. That's what we kept anyway, where releasing them by the end of it and we lost as many, if not more then we kept :S Only light we had was the occasional glimpses of the moon as the overcast weather made

The picture is of an albatross, i believe on the "midway islands" if im correct, it's near hawaii. It's not "conveniently placed plastic" There are a few videos of it, one of a bird they cut open just after it died. Youtube and google it, you'll be shocked at what they eat!!

As always, fantastic read and very helpful. There is one thing left for you to post, a map with arrows saying " you'll catch fish here" hahaCheers!!!!

Yeah i've seen them everywhere, i don't doubt they are not in short supply, but i was still iffy about it. It was on the cliffs down at at second valley and would be below the high tide mark. I'm hoping i did the right thing then, thank me later lil snails!!

I always thought periwinkles were something different but upon resreach the internet reckons there is like a 100 different snails are periwinkles hahaWhat i found was accoridng to one place you're allowed 100 a day and another site said "Fishing in Our State Intertidal reef closure A closure for the taking of all benthic (bottomdwelling) organisms from the State’s intertidal rocky reef areas is in effect for all coastal waters in South Australia. This closure means that it is illegal to remove any bottom dwelling organismsfrom any intertidal rocky reef in South Australia from high water mark

Went down to second valley for a fish this afternoon, caught nothing and so did everyone else except one lady on the rocks. This little lady looked like it was Christmas time on the rocks. Had a plastic bag 2/3rds the way full off these snails, i'm not sure of the breed, if anyone can help me out that would be good. I approached her asked her if she knew quota and sizes etc, she said yes she did, i asked what they where, she says " oh i don't know" told her i doubt the bag limit is a plastic bag. she went back to her group with the bag, about 10 minutes later they left with an empty plastic ba

From my understanding, the Japanese are only really able to catch squid, therefore they put alot of energy into refining their lures. I believe their lures swim and act in general more life like, then the ones u get from kmart that don't always swim right.In saying that tho, the best squid jags i've ever used are ones i picked up for 2 bucks, admittedly they look and swim alot better then the kmart ones but i don't think are anything any special. Also i've been told, haven't really tryed though, along the lines of what was posted above, dark colours on darker/overcast days work better because
