Catching squid minus the ink?

[coraltrout68]

If you catch enough squid on your boat, no matter how careful you are you will get the odd direct hit.

I have tried the gently bringing the squid up to the boat and grabbing it around the neck (squeeze water out of the squid), but I am very aware of that parrot like beak and don't really enjoy the method.

If catching by rod, don't bring them in to quickly (keep squid under the water) - make sure you don't bring them in so that they are sitting on top of the water as when they ink - they will be squirting the ink straight at your boat.

Next time you're home ask quasi and bazza how good we are at not getting covered in ink.Ha Ha.

Quite a few guys are reporting catches of squid in the estuary reports and I am wondering what is the best way to get these buggers onboard with out covering myself or my new boat in ink?

God I would love to have my boat covered in Squid ink or mackeal slim or any other simular piscatorial event happen in my boat.!!!
Sorry guys its been a while.
