Squid from Hillarys to Rotto

Just paid $15 for a Rotto Squid at the fish shop and it's 1 thing I can't seem to catch .Was worth it though!. Can anyone help me out on where to get them near Hillarys as would love to take kids/wife out for a feed. Do you put a sinker under your jig to get the right depth[patternosta] or just float down to weed? What's the best colour, size of jig  to use? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Craig

heya craig! any of the weed beds inside of little island. They are everywhere in there, and usually a GOOD size. If your talking land based, then we used to get rm off the disabled platform casting towards the beach. But not easy work if ya dont go out in a boat. Just take ya tender out.

kanji prospec

craig next time your in the shop i will run ya thorugh it if you like . but as a rough outline size 2.5 - 3 jigs work best there. prefered jigs there for me are , shimano egixile in the white or kanji prospec in the orange with pearl marble belly with the gold belly. as for locations any were there is weed although i have found them more prolific in water round 3-5 m any deeper than that and they are to few and far between.
