Cephalopod fishing: Cuttlefish, octopus and squid

When we talk about fishing for cephalopods, we include three of the most common species in the Mediterranean Sea: The cuttlefish, octopus and squid.

All three have a common fishing technique and then each have a more specific fishing technique. It is also noted that the 3 species cohabit in the same space and its most fruitful fishing also coincide in time.

The common technique to be three species squid jig fishing and boat fishing it will be more fruitful from late November to late February, coinciding with the drop in temperature of sea water, but are round in our coasts

We find rocky beaches near and seek between 16 and 25 meters deep approx. You are saying that near the jetties and within ports also find but here we treat your fishing from boats and the Mediterranean

Squid jig fishery

The squid jig or birds is also called imitation lure a fish to swim will function and will have bright colors to attract cephalopods. Depending on the day or if we catch squid or cuttlefish use one color or another.

The technique is very simple. Will fish run to lead (60-90 gr.) And gamete about a fathom (1m. And 1/2) with squid jig. Once the lead in the bottom pulls give small to move the artificial and give the impression that a fish is moving. The squid jig will be suspended on the bottom to a height determined by the type of artificial we use and whether it is leaded or not. This technique can always be improved using more long gametes and fishing with several Squid.

Sport fishing with squid jig just above the background will always be more productive to cuttlefish to squids which tend to swim at higher altitudes, but that does not mean that at that point we fish like octopus that is also easy fall to this claim.

Jig fishing

Jigging usually pieces of lead coated wire usually white, or mixed with another color with one or two crowns untyped pin hooks death.

Low assembly to be used with different Squid for sepia. Here there will be sliding lead, since the jig when this function will lead. It will go to the end of the line crawling along the bottom and be very effective for octopuses. We may combine with Squid or birds at the top of the gamete fishing for squid and cuttlefish.

They can also be used to insert jig bait rod, for example a sardine.

However depending on the region where we fish use these methods or combination thereof. Use cane or chambel, it will be closer to or further from the coast. Always we use what we best result.
