seems the guys throwing a bank sinker with a smaller squid jig 18 20 inch above the sinker seems to be dialed in took me around an hour to get a rig they liked

once that happened like ray said they came in waves 2 or 3 then nothing was like that whole day to windy to drift some were huge 18 inches

one bunch of boats were on squid the other scup they were not mixed

not worth the trip unless you live nearby (for gas in truck and boat ) i could have bought 2x the amount oF squid) still a good day on the water

Your boat get all ink-y? Is that easy to clean?

It's easy to clean if you rinse it right away but some of the bigger squid can shoot ink amazingly far .

If you don't watch out you'll be wearing it

That’s part of the secret. The second part is using 6 pound test fluorocarbon to your jigs. Squid have amazing eyesight.

why go thru all the b/S when ya can buy it fresh off the boat for cheap money

I ,ve keep meeting more & more guys that don.t even bring squid with them any more .

I would guess it would be better if you were after s SCUP .


BUt a few years ago [before] the price blew to hell ……………………………… Dennis & I had 3 totes & some fluke/ Fishing Quahaugs that we dug about 300 ft from where we fished >I guess if I did it now for kicks ,it would be a F FGHJ"KJHG waste with the small sea bass & sea robins ………….

ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!
