What is a "Squid-and-Spearing" for fluke fishing?

[scrdanis]

I've been looking at fishing reports and as of late many of them are refering to "squid-and-spearing" working best. What exactly is that? is it just a squid and bait fish on the same hook? Help please.

Sounds like a squid and fish sandwich that is recomended here for small sharks. What this consists of is a two hook rig with one piece of each bait on each hook. It could be both on one hook though as I have done this using a small piece of squid and shrimp the shrimp draws them in but the squid makes them hold on longer as it is tougher.

Hi Scrdanis, it's just a nice piece of squid on a hook with a sperring added on top. You would think that the targeted fluke would say - "this is too good to be true" and move on. Live killies can also be used with the squid.

you put the spearing on the hook first - through the eye seems to have the best hold. then place a nice piece of squid on top of it. i cut a slice through the bottom end of the squid, gives it tail like appearance for those fluke with good eye sight.<br />this combo works well for me. the spearing, if using it alone, get taken off the hook real easy, but the squid are tougher.<br />good luck
