Unfortunately the weather gods weren't kind to us at Nelson. We stayed for 3 days and had 50+k winds every day. It made the filming impossible and the fishing very challenging. What we did catch wasn't great to watch so we will head back there later this year.
Well done Alan good catch ,just a question how do you put the videocamera on the hat???o there is a dedicate one on purpose???thanks in advance bye bye champ 😊😃💪💪🤙🤙🤙
It really depends on where your fishing and how deep and how tidal it is. Top end of PPB where i do a lot of squid fishing I don't worry to much about tides, surprisingly on slack tide and just before and after tide changes the squid tend to fish really well. Especially in areas with high currents. Eg if I'm fishing West Port in high current areas ill do most of my squid fishing around slack tide and after that go and target gummies and snapper or whiting. Hope that helps
@@fishingmad As far as fishing goes, you are a magician. I am new to the hobby, and have yet to land anything. I did have a couple of gars nibble at my dough bait last Sunday at Frankston pier, and almost had what looked like juvenile Australian salmon have a couple of goes at some squid a couple of weeks ago at Mordy pier. But you know what, I am loving the chase, as well as learning different knots and setting up different rigs. Just hoping when warmer weather comes that I actually hook something! I thought about going after a stonker for a bit of fun and practice, but would rather get something wild.
@@justtania333 I figure that at some point it will all make sense and the fish will happen. At this point, I have had a wild trout bounce off a hard-body, a school of Australian salmon mess around with some squid, and a couple of schools of gars look lovingly at and nibble on my dough bait, but nothing, nada, zilch.
Great tips, thanks Mate! 🦑👍 I also had a look at your video of 3 years ago: “LAND BASED SQUID FISHING MELBOURNE Mt Martha Cliffs”. Which is more relevant to those of us that do not have a Kayak.
This video is very relevant, the only key difference when land based fishing is to use a longer rod of 8-9 foot in length and you may need to work the jigs back a tad faster to prevent getting snagged. Cheers
Hi Alan Love your content. For the squid lure does it sink all the way? Or does it stay above the bottom? Since it doesn't have a float what rig are u using? Cheers
@fishingmad thanks for the reply. I bought a kayak last week and I can't wait to take it out. It's all thanks to you and Nev's content. Since I am a beginner do u think it's fine if I start practising near pricess pier in good wheather conditions? Tbh Iooking at River and lakes water it's too muddy and disgustingly 🤮
Congrats on the kayak purchase. Yeah Princess Pier is a great spot. When starting just go out on calm days. I always study meteye and just pick the days with gentle breeze and low swell and youll be fine
Tip number 3457. Squid are inquisitive creatures. Take at least 2 rods and leave the first catch out in the water and cast the second rod close to the first and you will pull squid in 1 after another 😉
Cheers for the great content mate.
My pleasure! Thanks
Hey Alan, you are awesome man... please post your next trip for fishing in Melbourne so that i can join you for a min and take a picture with you..
Thanks !! Will be at West Port next week then staying local for a bit and catching plenty around melb.
Another amazing vid alen
Thanks !! Enjoy the Vid
Another great video Alan.
Can you recommend a squid rod (land based) to pair with my vanford 3000.
Thanks
Thank you. I have a NS Blackwater II rod paired with my Vanford 3000 and its great. Colours match perfectly too.
Hey mate when is the Nelson video coming out.
Unfortunately the weather gods weren't kind to us at Nelson. We stayed for 3 days and had 50+k winds every day. It made the filming impossible and the fishing very challenging. What we did catch wasn't great to watch so we will head back there later this year.
Could I use a (old) tcurve 2-4 kilo rod for squid fishing
Would you recommend using sinkers on the rod? If so then how many/how heavy
Well done Alan good catch ,just a question how do you put the videocamera on the hat???o there is a dedicate one on purpose???thanks in advance bye bye champ 😊😃💪💪🤙🤙🤙
Awesome video Alan, however most of us don't have a boat or a Kayak. Doubt we want to swim 1km out to find these Squid LOL...
Thanks
Alan, do you take the tide into consideration? ( in or out?)
It really depends on where your fishing and how deep and how tidal it is. Top end of PPB where i do a lot of squid fishing I don't worry to much about tides, surprisingly on slack tide and just before and after tide changes the squid tend to fish really well.

Hey I have started my own fishing TH-cam channel I was wondering what do you use as an editing software?
So when the rods are in the holders. The jigs a sitting on the bottom ?
Yes, but its often moving because of the drift and current. You catch plenty with the sleeper
Doesnt the jig just get caught in the weed ?
Yes, sometimes it can. But you catch plenty using this techniques so its worth doing. I think this was chatted about towards the end of the vid
Hmmm, I stopped pre-buying ice - not that confident, LOL!!
Same! Haha I even stopped bringing a bag for squid at the peir because I never catch 😅
Hopefully some tips in here will help !!

I let the squid jig get right down to the bottom, thats usually where the squid reside

Yama shit ya squid jig is a good one
Eat the squid.The heads and tentacles are better bait than the rings.
Some real donkeys there, love catching squid
Thanks !!

Love your sleep rod. Best tip for beginners 😊
