Anybody seen any yet? When do they arrive on the south side? Should be soon I would think.
Any help would be appreciated.

Spoke with the owner of Sam's,he told me jigged his first squid last year on the 18th which was about a week before I tried for the first time.The water was also considerably warmer this time last year.
Don't ask me where,I'm not going through THAT again.

I know.I was just being sarcastic.Some folks here get pretty riled up over spots,the 'ole cabin fever thing.But that's come to an end,

Same here, around the 18th or so, but I didn't start to see sheets of them until early May. Last year I got an 18Ib striper on the 18th of April. The fish hit a squid jig and gave me a great battle. Went scouting today--the water temperature outside was 40 degrees, the water in the ponds was 45 degrees. These temperatures I recorded at seven this morning, so they may have come up a bit since then. Shouldn't be long. Pink jig on the top and a dark one on the bottom. The bottom jig should be a slow sinker and the top one should be neutral. Can't wait.

I was out on Vineyard Sound today. No squid boats out yet. I'd expect to see them in a week or two.

There was about 15 guys jigging this evening, for nada.
