[quote name='Scuba Joe' post='11668' date='May 12 2008, 05:22 PM']When is the prim time for squid fishing? Apparently this season is not going well for anyone. Approximately how much time is left for squid fishing this year.[/quote]
The "prime" time for squid is the end (last week) of April until about the end of the 3rd week of May. If you play the tides correctly, any time after sunset can produce HUGE runs of squid.
As everyone has noticed, the squid are real thin this year, and the commercial guys aren't pulling in anything worth talking about either.
I've been out twice (last week), and the first night I landed about 30 of them. The second night produced about 40, but were all tiny.
Each of the nights, the squid were real picky. I had to lay the jig on the bottom, and make it "dance" on the sand. It was the only way they'd take it, and I switched colors several times over the night.
I'll be heading out again, tonight. I figured; What the hell? I haven't had a good catch when the water is flat calm, and the tide is right! So I may as well try it with wind and heavy surf.
My report will be on your desk tomorrow morning.
