Parmila bank squid 05/12/09
Submitted by slothwan on Sat, 2009-12-05 19:11
We were squiding today inbetween crabbing along parmila Bank (yes, we were on the right side of the ban line). I'd never tried crabbing on the west side of the channel, prob wont again either with only one crab coming up in 20ft of water.
But we did get 7 squid inbetween, a couple of crackers in there too. Various depth 8 to 20 ft. Seabreeze came in early and my English guest was getting a bit green in the gills so we came in early.

I was fishing for whiting
I was fishing for whiting and herring in shallow water (3-4m) in a spot just north of parmelia bank on sat morning, and my small whiting baits were just getting hammered by crabs. Had to move after a while as the crabs weren't giving the whiting a chance to reach the hooks. The crabs were a fair size too. I've never tried catching crabs in the metro area, maybe soon i'll have to give it a try seeing how many there were.

squid & crabs!
Nice to get a feed of squid atleast but North of Woodies (many different areas to crab) can be hit-n-miss for crabs atm. Had a few customers get a dozen plus, some their limit and some just a few in the last week or so!
