Cephalopods Under Water Footage Commercial Fishing for Squid - EGI lures - Squid Jigging Cornwall

Fishing for Cuttlefish, Squid & Octopus... inshore working light rods with 'squid jigs' from a small open 'day' boat.

Filmed over several sessions both day & night using a range of cameras (GoPro, Water Wolf & Olymbros) fishing off the Cornish Coast.

I have tried to document how cephalopods respond & interact with 'squid jigs' - egi lures.

Filmed working PZ849 'Stargazy Pie' through 2017...
Since then I am still a dedicated seeker of cephalopods .... Having worked PZ80 'Shrimpy' again fishing commercially for line caught squid & cuttlefish....

Some spinal problems have left me wishing that I were also an invertebrate ... Now in 2021 I have 'Shrimpy of Falmouth' & fish whenever I am able still for cephalopods.

In my view both squid & cuttles are easily as smart as octopus. The majority that I catch I put back to grow on & those that I take I dispatch using 'Ike Jime' - It's quick & humane as, make no mistake, these are all highly intelligent deeply predatory creatures.

I also do Gyotaku of cephalopods & indeed other fish.

Fishing line caught for squid & cuttle is artisinal - A small scale low impact fishery here in Cornwall ... Zero bycatch, no impact on seagrass beds/marine habitat from use of gear & at the vagary of weather ... & indeed of cephalopod behaviour !
