session 2 - catching the dock


We brought four jigs this time. It was about 9pm when we walked out on the Lilli Pilli wharf for our second squidding session. The dock was empty when we arrived, but a shine of our light revealed a school of squid feeding below. Luck would be on our side. We rigged up a jig and cast out.

No takers.

We cast again. And again. And again. We waited. We bobbled the rod. We changed our jig. They showed interest, but didn't nip. Natural born squidders, we are not.

After losing my first jig the day before, my confidence slowly returned. I was casting like a pro until four strangers appeared on the wharf. Something went terribly wrong. Like a boomerang, the jig returned. I managed to snag the dock. Two men fled in terror. They never returned.

After two hours we packed up and went home. The dock was the only catch of the day.
