Title: 2013 Squid Season
Post by: Icom on September 15, 2013, 06:43:53 CET
I have been hearing that squid season has started and quite close to shore.  Any of you guys have had encounters with the species so far? 

Any chance we could start a discussion with regards to the subject?  Things interesting for discussion would be lights used, tendencies of grouping in certain areas, different fishing methods and something which I have been researching lately; the use of a colour echosounder to search for squids.  If there is anyone who can take a photo of an echosounder screen showing squid groups would be ideal!

Hoping we have a great and abundant squid season!

I can confirm that squids are close to shore but not quite good sized. Most of them.arr max 8 cm big. Sometimes u catch a one off which is a keeper

Ideal size for bait especially trolling!

Ideal for nothing 8cm squids. A good bait is from 15 cm up

They are exactly the same model man - good.

What is funny is that they say that the frame is stainless steel. It is coated with a corrosion resistant paint but if left in a harsh environment it would start to peel off. Operation wise very reliable.

For me, it does not affect me because i always go for practicality over image. Maybe others do though and better point it out for others.

It is not the same draw from the battery shanook - much less - that is basically the main advantage of an Led.

I had gone through the matter when i was purchasing and from what i can remember (so correct me where I am wrong), whilst halogens can be dimmed, Leds cannot because LED operate at a very low amperage whilst Halogens at a higher amperage. (and resistors naturally vary the amperage)

Plus the heat you are mentioning is actually the waste of energy (for sure) - the drain from your battery. That is where LED are better. - they need less effort to create the same light and a longer useful life (50,000 hrs)

Yes understood, there is a difference using hologen to led, but that's in extended use, we use the light for kalamari for 4 hrs approx. the initial price difference is extreme..I bought a 150w bright white and a car head lamp. Cost was very low.
I am commenting so that if the led is better I switch.

At a voltage of 12v amperage becomes imperative Shanook.

Sometimes i do the whole night for squid Shanook - 12 hrs - there it makes a difference.

LED 2 wat gives the same light as an halogen 20w.
Therefore the led 50 watt would give a much brighter light than a halogen 50w.
You would need a much higher wattage to give the same output light.

Normally LEDs are quoted in emitting wattage and not draw wattage.  These LED floods probably consume somewhere around 15 - 17 watts/hour.  The only reliable way of comparing consumption versus emitted light is to compare lumens.  Lumens is the measuring unit of light Ex: 1 lumens = 1 candlelight power.

@ Baghira if it had to be like your saying then a 50watt LED will ultimately transmit 500watts in light which as far as i know LED technology hasnt reached that level of efficiency yet.  The only way to multiply element power to transmitted power is by using inert gasses.  Ex: HID lights which are used in the automotive industry.  Think, these new cars (BMW as an example) literally blind your sight at night if they arent properly aligned.  Those bulbs are small LED elements with Xenon inert gas.  7Watts is the legal limit locally on HIDs.  If 7watts is the legal limit on HIDs then imagine what 50 watts of HID would be capable of!

Remember if you flatten out your battery good luck starting your motor especially the new ones or a marine diesel engine like a yanmar.... nowadays i even have installed another battery and an alternator on the auxiliary engine (which sometimes i switch on idle as a generator)

And i have done it in the past... so you must always learn from mistakes.

To be very correct at home I have moved on to energy efficient lighting, beside all the other green resources, and light producing methods.
I have all rated wattages of led spot lights in LED including bright and warm white.
The light emitted by a 3.5 watt led is the exact same as a 20w halogen, I tried them next to each other, obviously with my eyes and not with a light meter, (that I also have and can use).
The light emitted by a 5 watt LED is much more....
Now I cannot say what would mathematically be the output of a 50w LED, but as I said, much more.

Which is the best between warm white and cool white ?
Title: Re: 2013 Squid Season
Post by: Icom on September 23, 2013, 20:47:14 CET
I personally prefer cold white as this penetrates more into the water!  But those who have more experience in the business should tell us what their experiences are with regards to colour temperature of the lighting they use.  Yellowish colour is warm white whilst the bright white with a little bit of blue in it is the cold white.

Anyone interested into buying a few of these?  We can pool the order number and then share costs.  The first one will cost approx €50.40 but if more than one is ordered we save on $3 each on postage.  Seller rating seems to be good too.

That does not mean that they are fishing the best locations.... sometimes one sees you fishing and in a matter of minutes another 5 come next to you haha. And you may not be catching anything... its just a start but i would not rely much on this

Klamari hawn minn kollox kbar u zghar. jekk pero tistadom b krapar zghar bhat tat tataki tistennix klamari kbar.

Re postijiet... jekk tkun f postu bhalissa minn kullumkien taqbad zmienu. Minn postijiet ohra inkluz z zurrieq (ghaliha hawn postijiet hafna ahjar bid dghajsa bhalissa miz zurrieq) qbadt... pjuttost qed jistadu tal mara milli z zurrieq u qed imorru ahjar.

Hasra nisma nies li johorgu u jzommu klamar ta 10cm... onestament la fih x tiekol u mhux prim ghal lixka ghax huta zghira irendi jista (sakemm ma tiklux xi tennuta meta jkun zghir!) u ha jmut iktar malajr.

Jien ghamluwieli u wedtom li ma nurijiex ax ma jiehdux gost, pero jekk il bagira amluwlu wahda, nimagina li tajba. Inportanti inmens hu li izzomuwa f xi haga u ma tithammig jew tiehu xi irwejjah. Nportanti ukoll, min jkun bl inboard specjalment, joqod attent al xi zjut li jist ajkun hemm ma l art ax minalieh jkun qed jistad, u jahli il hin jkun jibla il bruda :)

Nemmen li drifting ahjar ax hemm cans iktar tintaqa ma klamari. Pero nemmen li x hin isir il hin hemm hafna iktar postijiet fejn jidlu il klamari, ftakar li meta jaqbdu mil art, hemm hafna postijiet min fejn jinqabdu.

Ma jfissirx li tmur meta tmur, ghandek garanzija li se taqbad, pero wiehed jiprova dejjem jnahhi l izbalji jekk dejjem irid jaqbad.

Hemm haga ohra, hafna nies jatu daqqa il kulpara qisom se jtellaw xi mazra, ma hemx aliex ax il krapar kulhadd jaf kemm inigzu u malajr tidhol fil laham tal klamar. Provaw hossuh fuq idejkom qabel ma tatu id daqqa ax hafna drabi jaqbad il kulpara u qas nindunaw li jkun missa u jerga jitlaqa
