[quote name='loligo' post='11632' date='May 12 2008, 07:06 AM']Boy- now I definitely know why I didn't share....
Folks like you guys have all but run me out of business. Nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd.
I don't have any "special technique" really, I just know where they will be and when they will be there and I am very good at catching them very fast, very fast. I'm not all that great at catching them when they are thin or picky- thats not why I am there, to catch dinner- I'm there to catch someone else, several dozen someone else's dinner.
Arrogant? Noooope, but I am smart enough to know better than to tell some total stranger more than they need to know to go and get a few squid, any more than that and I am just shooting myself in the foot.
In just a few short years, we went from this being all I had to deal with:
To this:
I'm in no hurry to add to it...and this year there was three times that many boats, that was just as wide as my angle would go, theres lots more there in that second one.[/quote]
The dates on the picture show the first one taken on 6/5/06 and the second one taken 5/6/06. If the dates/times stored from your camera are right, it's actually getting less crowded as time goes on! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Incidently, if the dates/times stored on the photos are correct, the 5/6 picture was taken 2 hours after high tide in hyannis. The 6/5 picture was taken 3 hours after high tide in hyannis. Are you trying to discretely tell us that the best time to squid is on the falling tide?
