[quote name='TentacleWrestler' post='10811' date='Apr 25 2008, 03:52 PM']I was introduced to "squidding" a couple of years ago, and now, I'm addicted.
Like most forms of fishing, everyone has their own opinion on what works best.
I've gone down to the dock, seen hundreds (if not thousands) of squid, and sometimes, they just don't bite. No matter what color jig or lighting you're using, they want nothing of it. Yet, other times, I've gone to the dock, and you could use a Volkswagen Beetle with a hook, in complete darkness, and they'd bite.
Nevertheless, people have told me not to use my lantern at full power, and others have said; "Get as much light on the water as possible!"
Other than these things (sometimes) being picky, can anyone give me any tips on what they commonly use for lighting?
Tight lines![/quote]
I too have experienced this and it gets very fustrating not to catch them. This year I'm going to use a tiny squid jig with no weight and see if it works.. I've catch a couple wit this technique last year.
