2 of us fished the same way both evenings, not many squid about, caught one squid on a small cybervibe in 6m of water (see photo in Gallery section). Caught numerous tiny pinkies on pilchard chunks, drifting in 5-7m of water, but they only started biting as the sun started to set. |

Fished brighton pier during and after sunset 4 times in the last two weeks. Have seen a few ink spots on the pier but only saw a few squid caught on one night, otherwise haven't seen anyone having any luck. |
