Nantucket fisherman are blaming their poor squid run for another bad season, but the overall squid run was phenomenal from what I heard and saw. Almost every time out in the boat we'd be surrounded by squid. You could hear them shooting ink on the reef in the dark. The boats were working off Gansett for months. Hardly any bass on them, though. Heard the same north of me.

I'm sure the draggers have something to do with it, but I think there are just less fish around and that's what Nantucket is experiencing. Unless of course you're fishing 3+ miles out illegally. That's a different story, though.
