I was down that way on Wed. and didn't see any squid boats out on the south side. I'd give it another week to 10 days for the Centerville area to get good. A couple of years ago, it was like a switch turned on overnight. |

Well it was slow on Saturday night. Wind was blowing too. Caught about 16 in an hour and half of fishing, So I would give it another week and things should really heat up.

There's NOTHING strange about that this time of year. Schools of this size are on a mission - unless you're fishing real skinny waters, I don't even think the tide affects them much. |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

It is a big misunderstanding among fishermen that you need to have a coleman lantern at night catch squid. You can catch them all day long as long as you are over them. I have filled many a bucket with squid during the daytime for years.

Looked for squid / blues and bass this eveneing at usual south facing beach w SW wind (6 to 8PM). Caught 1st Striper of year, a 22 inch striper on one of my dad's squid knock off lures (then had line trouble) and since it was first trip out w/ new dry top I did not have my usual vest with clippers and leader material etc. had a nice walk back to car probably missed end of bite as they were gone when I got back. I consider it a shake down trip. Will not forget those items next time.
Saw a few caught in another location later.
It felt great to be out again.
