I keep the big squid to eat and the smaller ones I use for bait. I have a couple spots that not many people know about so I usually bring an extra rod with me and live line the squid. Last year I seen a keeper bass anywhere from 28" to 36" swimming in the shallows under the light. I threw everything at him but he didn't want it. Even threw out a squid. In the end I think I spooked him off. At the causeway thats not really an option unless there isn't a lot of people there which is rare. I have caught a couple of keepers and lots of schoolies with the live lining method. You have to use a small 5/0 Gami Live bait hook. Maybe smaller as the stripers can see that and the squid has more trouble swimming around.
