The southern calamari, Sepioteuthis australis, is the most common and sought after species of squid in New Zealand and Australia.
You can target squid from just about anywhere – inshore off the rocks, on a wharf or pier, or offshore on your boat. The main things to look for are broken ground, rocks, weed beds, or around reefs.
