Jigging for Calamari

[SPITEC]

Not that much a difference Fava it's more a personal choice because as camkev said when there are squid they are caught on every colour.Good luck to all for the squid season

[poor catch]

Have there been any catch reports iro boat fishing for calamari ?
Any specific areas where they are reporting catches if any ?
Or
Is it still too early in the season ?

poor catch u havnt changed ur nick yet........clamari being caught off Gozo and off mizbla. catches not very abundant except for the odd day. Klamari are nice sized. its a matter of luck but if the weather is good and the company nice then u should go.

I went for a couple of hours on Sunday early morning.  Six in the bag, averaging 150gr.

Thanks for replies, since I' m new to this type of fishing I need some more info please so onto the next couple of questions  ...

Should the light set up used be bright or dim ?

Should light cone be concentrated as per a spotlight / beam or is a floodlight type effect better ?

Should light used be submersed into the water or reflected onto the fishing spot ?

Do you fish in the lit up area , adjacent to or away from it, say opposit side of boat to where light is setup ?

And additional advice / info provided would be of help.

Thanks

I did not use any light on SUnday.  Usually I do, but due to force majure (broken bulb) had to do without.  I normally have ready to use submersible bulb bought from Mr Fish.

i got nice catches from the south last week.

in one outing i got 35 and then sunday morning i got 7.

many are still small in size (less than 200gms) but i got also some nice sized.

i was fishing in a new 70mtrs depth area! normally i fish them in 30-50mtrs but this time i'm experimenting in more deep waters and is looking good.

do not worry much about light as i only have a small dim light (20 watts) to save battery energy!

far from it bigboy! i was only lucky!

This is my third year fishing for klamari and i can assure you that for every squid i get the boats from MXlokk who are fishing near me get 3.

i'm still experimenting and finding good spots

Thanks to all who submitted feedback - very useful to me as new to this fishing category. At least I'm getting some clues.

Regarding wind, sea state and lunar phases which conditions would be most appropriate ?

[EmicMalta]

yesturday went out and the wind was north. in 10 mins we got 6 nice ones but wind had changed to SE and had to get back. Was going to be a good one but better safe then sorry

poor catch did u rig up for kalamari or not. I suggest spitec to buy lines and lures. then all u have ot do is try.

[poor catch]

Yes, I managed to get all necessary equipment sorted out.

We were out last week for a couple of hours and managed to land 10.

Pleasantly surprised with catch since it was our first time out fishing for calamari. Not bad for starters !
