Whats with the squid this year?? I was getting a bunch this time last year. So far seen some one night they not taking anything and the other nights noting or one or two??
Anyone seeing them yet?

Its been slow/spotty. Need some warm sunny days.

I heard the boats off Centerville have been doing poorly this year...and gas just went up by the way.

I was down that way on Wed. and didn't see any squid boats out on the south side. I'd give it another week to 10 days for the Centerville area to get good. A couple of years ago, it was like a switch turned on overnight.

Im heading out tomorrow night with a few OTW guys and Ray from line Stretcher. It's a grown up fishing academy trip. I'll post how it goes...I know there were getting them during the warm spell, but I think things slowed down.

Thanks guys!!
I was in Chatham last night were I was getting them last year and it has been very quite there so far.

Hooper I paid $3.55 for gas this morning in Wareham, I better get over and fill the boat before it goes up anymore!! I need about 100 gal to top it off:wall::realmad::cens:

Quite you!! If I remember you are still eating the ones I gave you for free last year!!

Got a call from a friend last weekend who went down to the docks to see where the squid boats are from the south side of the cape, the guys said they are still squidin on the back side of Nantucket so things are late for the south side, just need some warm days and things are gonna rock bigtime, alot of bait around!!!:bounce:

seen'um thick mid-may in the past.
not worth runing and gunning for $quid any more

macojoe, I see it's 3.59 in town now, gotta get my Schwinn tuned up!!!

Well it was slow on Saturday night. Wind was blowing too. Caught about 16 in an hour and half of fishing, So I would give it another week and things should really heat up.

nice shot roy... not bad for a slow night.

Were did you get them?? about?? the Cape, N shore ect ect ect thanks

Hopper I payed $3.53 in Taunton yesterday. $3.57 here in Weirdham

Note todays weather and tonight's mooooooooon....?I predict it goes off in teh next day or so

I'm gonna take a look tonight. First "fishing" of the year for me.

I was out working the schoolies and decided to try jigging up a few squid, filled a quarter of a bucket in about a hour or so, strange thing, it was the middle of the day.

were where you in the day time??

...... strange thing, it was the middle of the day.


There's NOTHING strange about that this time of year. Schools of this size are on a mission - unless you're fishing real skinny waters, I don't even think the tide affects them much.

It is a big misunderstanding among fishermen that you need to have a coleman lantern at night catch squid. You can catch them all day long as long as you are over them. I have filled many a bucket with squid during the daytime for years.

Saw a causeway full of people this afternoon.

:bounce:

Does that mean they are in Sandman??

:hidin:

Looked for squid / blues and bass this eveneing at usual south facing beach w SW wind (6 to 8PM). Caught 1st Striper of year, a 22 inch striper on one of my dad's squid knock off lures (then had line trouble) and since it was first trip out w/ new dry top I did not have my usual vest with clippers and leader material etc. had a nice walk back to car probably missed end of bite as they were gone when I got back. I consider it a shake down trip. Will not forget those items next time.

Saw a few caught in another location later.

It felt great to be out again.

It's day to day off Hyannis right now, some days great, some days not so great, least that is what I was told yesterday by a charter guy who has been out a bunch this year.

Macojoe , yes , that means they are here.

Are those eating squid or baiting squid?
