[new2ink]

Rescue 17, thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll be looking to invest in a new trailer. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' />

when is the usual time for squid migration around GI?

and how long does the migration last (window)?

it takes about 2-2.5 hrs from my house. I don't want to make a long trip for nothing?

If last night was an indication it won't be long. Looked like a lot of commercial squid boats way out off the South Shore last night.

how far out?

how far out?

[/quote] 10 miles is a guess. These are trawlers not head boats.

kutocon hey thanks for the tip on squiddin from the boat, we should hook up one night out there, I own a 22' Chris Craft Sea Hawk, can't wait to get out there, gonna go to Newport tonight to see if there's any action

[JoshFish32381]

just left goat Island Bridge no signs of squid, fished for about an hour and a half and just bait no squid try again next week I guess

I hear the squid have landed in hyannis ma already... Anyone else go there yet...

[kutocon]

Hyannis reports are very shaky. If your source is an Asian person be very careful, don't bank on them telling you the truth. I been told by many Asians that the squid are here! but i gotta wonder how they know if squid are there when they not going them selves. Asians love to say it to get someone to go on a dumbo mission to see if there any squid. to save them selves the trip. Am Vietnamese so i ain't talk out of my a hole. I went down to Newport last week on a word from a friend to a friend. I know better but am just so anxious to get the season started. take the local guys word not someone that lives 2 hours away.

josh thanks for the update. we should defiantly do a joint venture

[yakman]

We should be seeing some squid soon..., probably around the full moon this month. Any wind from the south and warmer temps should do the trick!

Is that TJ or former Warren fame?



How you be? It was good to see you this past Saturday.



All I know is my jigs are sorted and organized. I have new lights and the generator is good to go.



Now the boat is being sent off for some pre-season work.

I will be GI this weekend to see any action.

Been there yesterday but no one got squid yet. May be another week or so do the trick.

[algreenjr]

of West Warwick, but I was at Leadfest Saturday, My squid jigs are good to go. Glad to hear you are all set up. Hope the pre-season work is all preventative and routine for your boat! I usually prowl the Navy base from shore (piers) with the usual AIST suspects...

[JoshFish32381]

The full moon this month is on the 25th, which is a Thursday, so I definitely will be at GI bridge that Friday night... Hope to see some of you there!
