[quote name='ScubaSteve' post='14465' date='Apr 22 2009, 02:49 AM']hey everyone.. I am completely new to squidding...picked up my license yesterday and a very jigs. I was told that this is the wrong season to get them.... but is it still possible to find them? I live in port orchard..a buddy and I went to waterman ridge in port orchard last night...no luck..saw some herring down there. been thinking about hitting up bremerton and brownsville. is there a certain line set up that works best for people? my buddy was rolling with one lure while I rigged up like four. maybe our jigs were too big for this season? they were the typical ones you get at wally world. thanks for any advice guys :-)[/quote]
Personally, I think a little early. Kinda inbetween runs right now. I would expect maybe around the middle of June over there. Port Orchard, Bremerton, Waterman, Brownsville, all good locations over there.
If the squid are thick and agressive, several jigs to a line are OK. If they are not, I find the smallest jig, and only 1 jig to work better. We have a pretty good run of squid during the summer, and the squid are usually on the small side, so jigs about 1"- 1.5" total length are best during that time.
