Hi,
I'm new to this site (just found it), but I've been squidding for the last 2 or 3 years. I just wanted to add that I went down to Des Moines pier last Friday night (28 Nov), and it was absolutely dead. That was my first night out this season, so I was a little surprised.
There were roughly twenty people squidding, and nothing was caught while I was there (1600 - 2230). I saw no squid in the water, nor any herring, for that matter. Also, no seabirds (cormorants, to name one), nor any plaguey seals.
I was told that it had been quite dead for the last two weeks at Des Moines, and it certainly was that night. I was pitching out a pink and a green set of jigs (thank you Jon for the squid jig components), both colors being proven squid takers in my book, but there were no squid to hit them!
Well, there's always next weekend, and maybe I'll get my squid light battery charged by then.
Tight lines and reel fast,
larry
