I got my self a kayak a month or two ago and I've already caught many squid from it but i need some tips on landing-i haven't lost squid i just get covered in ink dose any one else squid from a kayak?

[reLapse]

When you get a squid to the side of the yak grab it behind the head and hold it in or out of the water, it'll usually squirt then if it hasn't already.

[reLapse]

Just beware of monster Kingfish, they might grab your hand and drag you under.

[squidguy]

Love the Kingy coment ha ha ha, wouldnt that be great....I've just brought a new kayak and have been out there madly trying to get my first squid in it. Perhaps tomorrow. Noel

i'm pretty keen on give the kayak a go, shame I don't ave any transport to carry it with me or money to get one. You should invest in some small net pull it in then leave it in the net till it tired of squirting ink then bring it on board.

up the north coast i had two great days of squidding from my yak
these a fairly longish paddle to a spot only accessible from yak it was deep and the squid were there in large numbers
just hauling them in
first day they liked the small olive green 1.2 yamashita and then they wanted the 3.0 yo-zuri natural colour and then they wanted the 2.0 bronze yamashita
