Any squid around?

Thinking about hitting the bay from the boat for some calamari. Curious if they are around yet.

The draggers unloading in Falmouth scored well - 10 - 12 totes each - and they were back at the dock by 1pm so they weren't killing themselves doing it . .. .

I heard the same from reliable sources, but with the full moon and rising temps it should be any day now. I'm planing to go Saturday I will let you know what I find.

I watched pods of squid cruising in Newport Saturday night at one location with bass stalking close behind in many instances ...there was a lot of human activity when I stopped by the causeway later but only saw a few squid in buckets

never done it but want to try

Any on cape yet? I want to try and my son is way more excited to catch a squid than anything else. I have to admit I am pretty intrigued myself. I have a read a bunch, bought some jigs and going to start giving it a shot. I assume incoming high is the right tide? PMs are welcome, specifically looking for a more kid friendly place if that even exists in this kind of thing.

I didn't get that PM

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I didn't see any squid Joe but there are a boat load of pogies and bass in the Bay. I got into fish yesterday morning but they wouldn't touch a pogy. They were on something much smaller and really smashed a small Yozui swimmer. Nothing huge all 20 to 30". Right where you and I fished together last Spring.

No boat, back in the suds.

Crushed it in hyannis friday night. Two 7.5 gallon buckets and roughly four 5 gallon buckets total (between 4 of us) super ccccccold once that wind picked up and fog rolled in. The guys anchored in the channel with bright bight halogens, obscuring navigational aids were quite the treat on our way back in 😕 agreed cohen, ramp at lewis is an absolute fuster cluck!

Hopefully it holds up for a few more weeks, and newport picks up. That drive from hyannis home at 2am solo suuuuuuuuucks!

I went tonight for a bit and got kind of frustrated. I have never really mastered the art of squid jigging....
Anyone who is really good at this care to share some techniques? Line test, preferred jigs, what to shoot for in regards to depth, jigging style, etc..
