The fish trap off Ledge road is starting to see 'em, so it could be tonight or tommorow night over in the East Passage. Haven't heard anything over this way. Weaks in the HOR?

Almost went and checked the GI Causeway yesterday but town was busy with the parade so I passed -
I would guess there's Colemans hanging over the water there now as we type -  |

A beater spinning combo, light line, fast action. Basically whatever you have that's kicking around. Any freshwater setup will do.

Any reel that turns without seizing, and any rod (the shorter the better) that you can jig with one-handed will work.
I prefer the squid jigs with the needle-like prongs on them over those with treble hooks. You just turn the jig upside down and the squid slides off into your bucket.
Squid usually shoot ink when you first lift them out of the water. Leave them just above the surface for a few seconds until they jet out all the ink---those standing next to you will appreciate that little courtesy 
Squid ink doesn't come out of your clothes. Wear old ratty dark-colored stuff. |

The boats are out there in force...I just assume the squid are here. I plan to head down to Egartown Dock some evening and see whats cooking. Squid fishing is more fun then looking at the the tube...
My kids think it is a hoot! Ink squirting everywhere. Those damn things look like they are from some other planet.

Bring an interpreter with you when you get to Goat Island.  
Spring time squidding there is a bit of a different proposition than Fall. The guys who do really well there bring their own light sources (Coleman lantern attached to a rope), get the light right on top of the water and get the jigs down fairly deep. This is not easy to do when it is crowded (as it usually is) and when the current is running through the causeway. |

Last year the run in Block Island Sound never really happened, could be different this year. The squid are coming in to spawn, so if you could rig your boat with flood lights then you may get some. Lights are very important. I'd think the breachway would be a waste of time. Little Narragansett Bay?

Weewee is right on all counts - Yozuri jigs are possibly the best, used by the GI cognescenti - the Colemans are key.
A friend of mine is Greek - the last time we got fresh squid from GI, we came back to the house and he stuffed them with bread crumbs, feta cheese, fresh parsely and Greek oregano, breaded them and pan-fried them in butter. 
Now that was my idea of something. |

TT,
I con't do saturday night, but if my jigs show up in time and someone else is willing to give a try I might do it on Friday night. If not, next weekend on Saturday, if I'm not completely shot from the trip to George's bank.

Went to Newport for Squid last night, not much comeing in. Also the state pier is closed to fishing, I was told that there was a big fight over the squid the night before and from now on they will have a guard in the parking lot to keep everyone out.  Again the actions of a few take away from all of us. |

My friends boat is docked near the causeway. He had a boat load of scumbags, squidding from his boat. About 2am his friend thought it was him on his boat and went down to see how he was doing. There were four guys on his boat , fishing right off it. They went through all his stuff and got ink all over. His friend chucked two off the guys over the side into the water and physically held them there till the cops showed

There were also all kinds of minnows and shrimp here. SOmething was chasing the bait around, making it jump outta the water and making splashes on the top from time to time. I tried a few lures but nada. Maybe herring?

I was told by a commercial guy that Osterville was the spot, but who the hell knows....he said there was a huge bunch that moved in this week.
I have always seen a lot of squid off of Great Island this time of year, by Pt Gammon.
