I was wondering "where you been?" I am not sure what's up for the weekend, the run has sucked so far down there, all the good reports have come frrom guys in boats, I am thinking of running out in the boat for some squid.

Travis, I would highly suggest going with a boat. While I haven't killed them, the two times I went the squid consistently were biting the whole time. Yes it was slow, but I think if you have time, and you can stay for a while you will be catching all night. Most of the boats were lined up along the highway bridge, where it is low and close to the water. Some of them were killing the squid. You may want to try there. I had better luck near the SLOW, NO WAKE barge in about 25' of water. I think being around all the other boats with the crazy lighting was drawing the squid away from my boat and towards theirs. I only had 1 submersible green light, which worked much better when I moved to a secluded spot. We hope to be back up there on Saturday. Some of the squid we got were very big. I noticed alot of playing with the jigs too, not super aggressive, some drop offs, etc. Honestly, I think the whole harbor is packed with squid right now. My fish finder was going nuts whenever a wave of squid would come under the boat. Good luck.
