[quote name='flukeprodigy' post='11410' date='May 6 2008, 05:09 AM']Unless i'm misunderstanding what you're saying, this is your problem. From the sounds of your post, it seems you drop the line down, let it sit for a minute, then reel it up and redrop? Is that correct? If so, stop doing that. Try a heavier weight as well (1-2oz) Don't worry about the sinking rate of your jigs so much b/c w/ the 1-2 oz holding bottom for you, the current will provide your jigs w/ "action" You might not think to look at them, but the yozuri jigs certainly do have a unique action. Try dropping your jigs to varying depths (not necessarily bottom all the time) and let them suspend. Every so often, give them a twitch, jig them up a bit and drop em back down. Vary your presentation too b/c even if the squid aren't necessarily hungry, you may be able to piss them off enough to hit the jig anyway. Also, you say you're using a 48" leader. What lb. test are you using for the leader? Squid have pretty keen eyesight so you don't want to use anything too visible.[/quote]Hey Shuckmyclam,
Flukeprodigy has some good advice and before I give anymore I suggest you try his. But, out of curiosity, where on LI are you seeing squid and how long have they been in?
