Is squid a vialble alternative to eels

[chris L]

when I used to fish squid ( store bought ) more often than now . I would hook em through the tentacles making sure to grab the bone . then slit open the tail so water will flow through it and not balloon up . the slit will also act as an attractor as it moves through the water . I also use squid in strips just like with flounder fishing .
Fresh squid not frozen ...... in a plastic food container use coarse kosher salt under and cover the squid to draw out water . drain any water found and add salt if needed . this will not only toughen the squid but it will last for sometime in the container in fridg ( no need to freeze .
