Five Tips for Squid Fishing Catch Squid!

We often hear hong kong people refer to squid fishing action as “Chok” which refers to the motion of pulling the fishing line up and down while fishing. Although catching squid relies on luck to some extent, the remaining thirty percent depends on the Chok Squid fishing techniques that I will share with you!

  1. Make the fishing hook shine

After boarding the ship, the captain will distribute fishing tools including fishing lines and octopus hooks to everyone. The hooks have a fluorescent night light position. Before dropping them into the sea, you can use the hook to absorb light from the light position or use a phone flashlight. After absorbing light, there will be a short-term night light effect. Squids like to chase after light, so hooks that have absorbed light are more likely to attract squids!

2. Stand in a place with strong light

Choosing a brighter location on the ship or using a spotlight to shine on the sea surface will make it easier to attract squids.

In addition to absorbing light with the hooks, you can also choose to go to places on the ship with large lights. Locations with sufficient light sources will also have more squids gathering, increasing the chance of successfully catching squids. Yellow lights usually attract squids more easily than white lights. If the ship does not provide a spotlight, standing in a brighter location on the ship will be more advantageous.

3. Drop the line to a depth of 20 feet

Large squids are usually found at a depth of around 20 feet, while shallow water areas have smaller squids! So remember to drop the line to a depth of about 20 feet! How much is 20 feet? When Louis Koo is 6 feet tall, you need to drop a line that is about 3.5 times the height of Louis Koo into the sea ~

4. Move the fish hook up and down rhythmically

A fluorescent octopus hook? Check! Light? Check! Then just throw the octopus hook into the sea. Move it up and down rhythmically to attract the squids to bite the hook.

5. Don’t want to turn black, remember to cool the squid down after catching it!

Don’t get too excited when catching a squid, because they will squirt ink and try to escape when startled. At this time, it is best to let the squid spit out ink after taking it out of the water before removing the hook on the shore.

Join a squid fishing group that suits you!

Apart from being more affordable, there is not much difference between joining a squid fishing tour and chartering a boat. Each participant will be allocated with squid fishing tools and can cook the freshly caught squids on board! There are groups in both Sai Kung and the city center, and it is very convenient to board the ship! There are boarding points in Kwun Tong/Shau Kei Wan/Tsim Sha Tsui/Central/Sai Kung, making it even more convenient for office workers! No need to worry about getting up early tomorrow and have more fun, catching squids more freely!
