Who's getting Squid??

[macojoe]

Must be starting to pick up around the Cape now??

Seen the dragers in Vinyard sound, and have also heard some boats working off Hyannis.

Whats the scoop guys?

Don't tell me that squid is part of the, no burning spots list? There only here for a short time.

I am planing a boat trip for squid real soon!! I am hungry now!!

Even at the WH?

[macojoe]

Thanks all!

I will list my findings here when I go.

[King Neptune]

I caught a couple squidberts last thursday (April 27) in Falmouth Harbor. Went back the next night and got Nada. There should be decent numbers by this weekend. Usually you catch the jumbo "Capt Nemo" size ones early in the run.

[macojoe]

I havew heard with this NE we just came out of that they might be blowen in now??
Of coarse I have M,T,W off and now I have tio go back to work, and I work nights

[bloocrab]

Joe,,,

Go to where you normally catch squid this time of year.........they've been waiting for you for some time now. Almost 3 weeks now and counting in my area..which is about 40min. from Falmth, some nights are better than others...even the daytime bite has been on. AND YES, there can be some mighty BIG squid mixed in...cannibals they are, many of the large had 3" baby squid in em...kind of the same size and look of a squid jig ......

[macojoe]

Thanks Bloo!!

But I have never really went squid fishing before a few times on a dock here and there.

So this is all new to me, I know you don't need to be a rocket scientist, just needed a good place to go.

Trying to off set the gas this year with getting all my own bait.

[ProfessorM]

My fellow worker has a slip in Hyannis and told me they have been in Hyannis harbor for a few weeks. P.

[keeperreaper]

best bet so far has been falmouth harbor.

[FishWebb]

Caught one while wading the other night!
They are around Falmouth and so are the squid boats.

[RickBomba]

Not to hijack, but WTH did you come from bloo???
Good to hear from you again!
Later,
Bomba

Alls I know is that who-ever wants some better get their in gear....it ain't gonna last 4-eva.

[Mr. Sandman]

Yeah I hear Newport is thick with them. I went (in my neck of the woods) last night and got them but it was a slow pick, good size though. I plan on eating them tonight. I think in another few days it will start getting good. (lots of life in the water)

Natoro, (read yesterdays OTW online report) get down there with your 6 gal bucket. (The weekend will be a mob scene, go down during the week late!)

[shadow]

what size do you guys like for eating? someone said the big ones are only good for bait?I went today for the first time.only came home with the bigger sized ones.

[macojoe]

O baby!! I am going to go Mon. I have M, T, W off

But I also heard that they are great just before, during, and after the full moon, so I have taken Fri and Sat off next week end for the Moon!!

[kippy]

I'm heading out next weekend to the cape, hope to get some bait!

[macojoe]

Went to Chatam last night, No Squid Lots of small 12 to 18" Bass, Catch with top water stuff, catch all you want!

Took the boat, went to Stage, Oyster River, out a little way. Came in and pulled out launched at Ryders, fished all of Pleasent bay, Not a Squid to be had, and it was high tide.

Was hoping to do the Full Moon this weekend, but this rain going to be here all the way till sun at least!!
The wind also, never mind that we will never be able to see the moon any way.

O well I will try again.

[Swimmer]

Sunday just off So. Cape beach there were enough squid boats to walk from one to the other almost. No boofish though.

Yep, they were out there over the weekend too.

[macojoe]

I have Fri and Sat off from work I am going to be there as long as the wind stays down, but thats not likely the way the weather looks, maybe I go and try from the docks?

[Mr. Sandman]

They started here but the last two nights have been very slow. The wind and weather must have had something to do with it, it just shut down just a few loners. (which i ate)
I will check it every night and then hit it hard when they blitz the harbor.

I like it when a giant fleet of them swarm in and it is an instanteous game. Have not seen that yet...
