Shaun and I headed to Port Augusta stopping off at Ardrossan to collect some live squid.
We collected about 10 squid and 4 survived the trip to Port Augusta.
We tied the remaining live squid in a laundry basket on a boat out from the boat ramp called "Coffee Break".

We were in Shauns boat and we stayed at the Shoreline Caravan Park in Bunkhouse B4.

I landed 2 fish and lost 2, one with a pulled hook which was severed at the trace and another on Jig which busted me off on the South Pole using Combi Jerk and Certate 3500HD with 30lb Tuff Line.

Shaun landed 4 fish and pulled hooks on another, we had 8 hook ups in total.

The Jig of the trip was a Pink/Lumo Daiwa Sacrifice Jig 200grams. Best to drop jigs into school away from structure.

Schools of up to 100+ sounded on the last day between the Channel Outlet and the South Pole. 

Squid was very hard to get before first shacks, heading up coast toward the Sea Bird to collect squid, managed 3 before big winds came in.

Most squid caught on Yo-Zuri Auri-Q HS.
