How are you going to fish? If you want to fish some of those squid on the bottom, best wait for a slack tide. If you're going to use artificials, go anytime.

Squid gets very buoyant after it's been dead for awhile, so I wouldn't try drift fishing it chunk-style. It'll probably just ride along near the top of the water with a 1 oz rubbercore or egg sinker above your leader.

Plugs and jigs, mike?

Jigs. With big plastic on the end. If you want to use plugs, try something that runs deep like a bottle plug or a darter.
