Calamari!



Herd reports of 5:00am squid but I just left the Causeway and they were bangging them as I left.. This was at 2:00pm today.



This is the first time I seen them in full Spring style.



So whoever said 2nd day after the New Moon was right.



Oh a little warning, it was real slow until 2:00

That'd be me <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> unfortunately we fished from 7pm-2am last night and only had 14 squid to show for it. Most were larger females, ALL came on pinks, at varying depths. Going back out to GI to try again for a few hours now before heading back to CT. didn't see a single pod last night of over 20 squid or so. They were also very finicky but I found that if they came up behind the jig, i would sway it a bit to make it look like it was trying to escape and that seemed to get them to bite. Will report again later
