A couple of year ago we did great (3 buckets between three of us in 4 hours) by the Quonsett Pier up in the bay above the Jamestown Bridge by the Naval airforce base. It's all lit up and we anchored in 15 ft of water about 100 ft from the pier. There is a nice dropoff there to 30 feet. Added a chum bucket to the mix and we hammered them. Last year was a bust. Nothing, Nada, Skunko, etc



Let's coordinate something once it starts happening. Snaildarter[/quote]





Hey bob! How goes it?



Hey we had that one decent night out on your boat last season. That was the best night of squidding I had all last season! Other than that, last year was a real wash out.



I hope they didn't change the fluke regs again this year. I'll have to look into that.



EDIT: I see they are holding a hearing on the 09 regulations on 4/22, but they kept the 14" size limit for the comm'l guys <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol' /> I really hope they don't increase the recreational size again. It was tough enough to limit out last year. I gotta believe there's going to be some real doormats out there this year.
