Squid along Massachusetts South Shore
Last evening while trolling for bass along ocean ledges on the Massachusetts South Shore I caught numerous large, well-fed blues spitting up 8-inch squid. There were schoolies near the surf line gulp feeding on micro-sized baitfish but with squid around quality bass cannot be far behind. I've been waiting all season for squid to make a showing south of Boston. They're finally here.

Boy, will they ever! There's a reason striped bass are called "squid hounds".
Toothy bluefish sometimes have unusual table manners when it comes to squid. They often gulp down whole without hardly making a tear anywhere on the body of the squid.

3"-5" juvi squid in the canal. the fish have been re-gurgetating them upon retrevial. the squid have also been witnessed being chased right out of the water. i hope we see some of those 8"er's in the canal. if so, get the heavy gear ready, cause those big fish can't be far behind.

I saw a small school of 8" squid in the canal last week-end. There were smaller 2" ones too and the stripers were all over them early on.  |
