[quote name='BISquid' post='13599' date='Feb 3 2009, 03:31 PM']Hello everyone. New to the forum and was checking out the latest threads. My son (8) and I would like to get more involved in squid fishing locally and was looking for some decent places to start close to BI. (The wife says we can't live on a diet of red meat.) We tried Brownsville once last year with marginal results but that was probably timing.
Anyone have some success stories for a couple of newbies? I didn't see any reports recently.[/quote]
It's definitely winding down for squid fishing now. Personally, I would recommend waiting till mid-june or July. I imagine your son would have more fun in warmer weather. The squid aren't as big, but they are around. Often can get them any time of day, but I hear better success 1st thing in the morning or late at night. VERY small jigs work the best, about 1" - 1.5" total length.
