Has there ever been a year before when the squid just haven't showed up in force? There was that false alarm 2 weeks ago, then a week or so with nothing caught, and maybe 10 squid caught per day for the past week (correct me if I'm wrong.) Definitely they were coming by the busload this time last year, so the only explanations I can think of are that a) the cold weather is keeping them away, or <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> something happened wherever they spend the summer to totally decimate the population, and whatever's left is making the run now.



...Or maybe it's all global warming. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/crying.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



I sincerely hope they're just being lazy or something and will show eventually. Not only would it totally suck if we didn't get any this year because they're all dead or something, it would also blow since there wouldn't be any NEXT year either.



Wait, I know! It's a conspiracy by the Hyatt people to get rid of all the crazy squidheads!!! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/zorro.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]





Squid spawn year round so decimating the population is highly unlikely. If we don't see them in numbers by monday, i'd be a little concerned
