If you are planning to catch squids, it is important for you to know
where you can find squids. The best spot to catch squids are the sea
grass beds and the reefs. This environment is extremely suitable for
squids. They can find food and shelter in these places and also a place
to breed. Squids are mostly found in schools that can range from
anything between two to two hundred in number.
Squids usually school on the edge of the reef or the grass bed, as this
allows them a better cover to ambush their prey. Thus, you should catch
squids in this location, as they can give you great results.
As a general rule, you should fish for squids in a reef or a grass bed
that has plenty of weed cover. The depth of water should be around 15
feet. The deep water seems to allow a better distribution of food and
provides better shelter to the squids from its predators.
The surrounding water of a Queenscliff in Victoria will always prove productive for your
squid expedition. A flat reef with sand patches and large structures are
great locations to fish for squids. You can try
fishing for squids from a boat,
jetty or from a rocky shoreline. Fishing around areas with
strong tidal currents will prove useless, as squids do not hang around
these locations. Here are some of the
hottest squid fishing
locations in Australia
The best spot to catch squids will be areas where the water is very
clear, with slight offshore winds. If you are
squid fishing from a jetty, you
should look for ink stains on the jetty. These squid ink stains are
great indicators that will allow you to choose the best spot to catch
squids.
Some of the best squids can be caught around early morning and late
evening. However, if you are fishing around an area that has artificial
lighting, like that in a pier or a jetty, you can fish throughout the
night.
While looking for a great location for squid fishing, remember that
squids are rarely ever found far from their shelter. Even when they are
out hunting, they prefer to be around their shelters. Some of the areas
that squids are attracted to are small patches of the reef, mussel beds,
kelp beds and sea grass meadows. Squids are also attracted to man-made
structures like rock breakwaters, mussel leases, boat moorings and jetty
pylons. So these would be great locations for squid fishing.
