i have ever only got them when chasing fingermark, the best time to chase squid i have found is when there is no moon. to much light & they seem to spread out, we just put the squid light in the water & when they come around scoop them up.
another thing is the calmer the better. i would be no good to only go out for them cause they will find their way on a hook.

Ha michael, you won't find many up here that will keep a squid to eat, tasty though they are. Most of us will put a hook straight through it and send it to the depths, though if the cravings really get out of hand, try heading down to Marina fresh seafoods down the end of 5th Ave South Townsville, near Ross Haven Marine. They've got a fair selection of seafood and I have seen fresh squid from time to time. All their seafood is local too, so around the new moon would be the time to pay them a visit too.

Will see what the weather is doing this coming new moon, I might head out for a first go at a fingermark, and if we get a big squid as bycatch, I might just let you keep it.
