Very brief report from another days fishing down at Brighton Marina yesterday, trying to catch my first squid of 2010. Having failed miserably on Wednesday, I started early, at about 6.30am and fished through until around 4pm. Fished the float bays at the far end of the West arm. End tackle was a 1½ oz rated float, suspending a pink Tronix jig.
Result? One squid which dropped just before being netted by the bloke just along from me about 2 hours into the flood. Apart from that, I was squidless and although disappointed, I didn’t kick myself too hard when I found that the squid were not present in large numbers and apparently only two were landed for the day.
I’ll be doing a visit again on Saturday but trying the East arm instead and see if I can’t lose my 2010 squid virginity!
