Penguin Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Hi Raiders, I had a couple of hours to myself today, so I couldnt resist the temptation of heading down to Botany Bay and see if i could rustle up some cephs for lunch 2moro. Heres some photos, thats my size 10 1/2 shoe in the pics The family and I are gonna eat well 2moro I think, even got some left over for bait. Cheers Penguin Edited May 12, 2009 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishmaniac Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Penguin, I have noticed you have been fishing for calamari quite a bit lately! Well done on your success. It may not get the adrenaline pumping like a kingy but I too cerainly would not pass up a nice relaxing session on some calamari. Well done!

roosterman Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 nice feed of squiddies .. it still amazes me the wonderful color changes they put on... im with chris on the blue jigs but i suppose i use other colors way more... do you prep and cook them anything special.. im always keen on doing something other than salt peppered/crumbed/battered or chilli stir fried .... mmmmm may have to wander down my local tomorrow.. cheers...steve......

tevoro Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Nice squids!!! Can I ask a stupid question? How do you detach the squid from the jig once they are caught? I got the day off work tomorrow. Might give squid jigging a go. Only started fishing a few months ago and absolutely loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give squid jigging a go. Only started fishing a few months ago and absolutely loving it! mate just pick up the jig, dangle the squid over a bucket and turn the jig upside down and it should drop straight in there btw ..... blue jigs ROCK!

james7 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Great haul there penguin! I imagine the squid get nervious whenever you go near the Bay! Great to eat and top bait too! You win either way. I've gotta give it a go some time. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penguin Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) nice work penguin - a fan of the blue jigs hey?? i've never done any good with that colour. i think i know where you were, top spot! Chris I have never used that colour b4 today but when the Natural and Orange jigs stopped catching, I pulled out the blue jig and I was on again 1st and 2nd casts. Now Im a fan. nice little honey hole you have there. well done. do you eat the smaller ones? if so, how do you cook them up. i find if i batter them up as calamari rings the flesh gets a bit lost in all the batter. I froze the smaller ones for bait. Bread crumbed calamari and salad 2day. Edited May 13, 2009 by penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Im a fan. I froze the smaller ones for bait. Bread crumbed calamari and salad 2day. Fantastic haul, absolutely love catching squid. Well done. By the way I would normally freeze the bigguns and eat the smaller ones, I find the smaller ones are more tender than the bigger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlloyd Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 great looking lunch and set of future baits there, interesting that blue jig colour is working at the moment, might have to look into that as a back up option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patto Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Great haul there. Any chance of a hint of the general area they were caught. Have never squidded before and am looking to give it a go in the next few weeks but not sure where to go for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
