Nice, good to see demo of your technique
Thanks mate, appreciate you watching!
Put a bead on the leader and twist one of the barbs to the opposite way and hook that barb in the bead to hold it and it'll cast further.
Thanks for mentioning this method! I use to do this method too but I prefer not twisting the barbs out on my jigs. Also sometimes the barb doesn’t come out of the bead when it lands on the water. So I started doing this method instead which I find works the same and casts just as far
Do you prefer to keep your main and leader light for squid? I’ve seen a few people go for 20lb leader to make snags easier to work out of.
It depends where you’re squid fishing. When I squid in harbours or off the beach or sheltered bays with minimal snags, I use PE0.6 (6-13lb test) with the same leader rating. When I squid off the rocks or at a new location I’m not familiar with the bottom, where there’s a higher chance of snagging I use PE0.8 (8-16lb test) with the same leader rating or higher, but I wouldn’t go higher than 20lb. When going higher than 20lb leader you’ll find casting your FG knot through the guides at lot more difficult and it will result in decreased casting distance and a higher potential for wind knots.
Does swell height and tide matter here? If so what is optimal? Cheers for the video!
The lower the swell the better, squid don’t like turbulent waters, they prefer calm conditions to hunt in. This is why it’s always easier to catch squid in sheltered bays with a lot of sea weed beds and grass. 2 hours before and after high or low tide is usually the best. Dawn and Dusk are the best times too. The higher the barometric pressure the more active they are too. You might not get all of these conditions aligning at the same time but getting at least 2/4 to match up would yield a squid or two land-based. Goodluck!
Do think your side or boat ramp side better?
I just fish whatever side has the wind behind me when I cast, I don’t think it matters too much because the squid move around the bay
Hi Hai nice vlog very informative can I ask do you charge the jig with UV if so what do you use to keep or improve the glow of the jig
Thanks John! I don’t usually charge the jig with UV light when I’m squidding during the day or at sunset or sunrise. I only ever charge the jig with a UV light torch when I’m squidding at night. I use just small UV torch to charge the jigs up and they tend to stay glowing for at least 2 casts and retrieves
thanks buddy you have inspired me to have a crack cheers
Botany Bay?
Great video mate, nice to see some monster squid in sydney! What's the spot if you dont mind me asking
Nice, what squid clip do you use man?
Thanks mate! I use the Daiwa EG-Snap clip in either the size small or medium
@@HaiFishing What was used in that video?
@@KSM_08 I think it was the size small since I was using 6lb line and leader in the video. I usually use the size medium for 16lb or higher line and leader for extra chance of recovery if I get snagged
@@HaiFishingThanks, do you find the rod pairs well with a 2500 reel?
@@KSM_08 Definitely, paired my rod with the Daiwa Luvias Airity 2500 reel and it feels very balanced, lightweight and easy to use
Is the swell here always low or should I go there when it’s under 1m. Do you remember what swell it was this day?
Hey mate, swell there is usually always low as it’s a very sheltered bay. Goodluck!
Is the area your fishing in this video right or left of the rock/sea pool area
@@srduckyoce1084 Left mate but the entire bay holds squid, they can be anywhere. Have a walk and cast around, you’ll find them!
@@HaiFishing thanks
What waters are u fishing in ?
Hey mate is this to the far left of the boat ramp ?? more near the beach side ?
The other side mate
@@HaiFishing of where?????
It seems like Long bay on the opposite side of a boat ramp. Well done and thank you for sharing
Where the location mate
Long bay
Tip: Never go fishing off the rocks with thongs
