Hit Queenscliffe with a mate on Tuesday. Started about 6pm with the tide starting to run out about 8pm with first a few tiny squid and then progressivelly getting bigger to .75 - 1kg. Had a purple patch around 10.30pm but nothing caught after 11pm. All up 19 squid.
About 11pm experienced a strange phenomenon. At first I thought the moon was starting to rise behind pt. nepean and then that section started to fill with light blue light with distinct vertical rays of light in an arc. I've discovered today that it was aurora australis or southern lights. Pretty cool! The squid went off after that time - must've freaked them out.
