[quote name='Moalboaldiver' post='14089' date='Mar 26 2009, 11:28 PM']Hello you bunch of squid heads.. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':oops' />
I don't know about you all, but man oh man, what a LONNNNNNNNGGGGGG Winter it has been. It sure is great to see the weather starting to change over. Just had my first hatch of this years chickens, so thats the sign for me and my wife, that squid are soon to follow. Boy, was last year a disapointment or what? Still, the few trips we did make to GI, my wife and our son David, still had a great time mingling with the people and just plain having a good time. I'm sure we will be making plans for a trip soon and will be following the board as I do every year. Just to spit this out there, I'm also thinking of trying something new this year. During the winter, I was reading about fishing and I came across an old news paper story that came from the Stonnington,CT area. It didn't say, but I'de have to guess they where talking about the Mystic River, which is in Stonnington, or very close to flowing thru parts of it. Well, this very old and small local add from a Stonnington paper said that the squid where in and that they where thick and heavy, at the commercial docks. Thats what makes me think Stonnington, because there is a small commericial fleet of fisherman that port there. If they had squid runs there some 20 plus years ago, then more than likely, they still must move thru there at times. If so, that would cut our driving time from New Britain,CT., in half, compaired to our long haul to GI Bridge, RI.....
Well, hope to see some old faces at the bridge this year, and always looking to make new friends, while sharing our love of fishing and squiding.

There are squid in stonington just after they run through rhodie. My brother hit up the dock i think you're speaking of last year and did better than I did in rhodie...although the size just wasn't there. Every one they caught was palm sized, but still....small squid is better than no squid.
Where in new britain are you? I'm across the street from Guidas....boy what a lovely view that is out my bedroom window. LOL
