[quote name='andrew99boats' post='14644' date='Apr 30 2009, 12:51 AM']Brand new to this, but after reading through your site i thought i would give squidding a go and what a great decision it was. I went out on a rented kayak from Torbay kayak hire and fished the end of Paignton pier dragging a squid rig and my first was on within 5 minutes, fished for 2 hours and landed 12 squid all about a foot long, the kayak was black when i handed it back and it's one of the best nights fishing I have ever had.
Just thought i'd say what a great site <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> and thanks for the new hobbie.
Does any body know when the squid leave The Torbay area.?
At the moment squidding is great at Princess Pier in Torquay as well. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Fantastic Andrew. Nice to hear they are inshore down your way. If they follow the same pattern as the squid here (Brighton), they will drop offshore and disperse after breeding. Last year they dissapeared pretty much on a single tide, in the first week of June. They come in to Weymouth in the autumn, and possibly to Brighton as well, but I am distracted by the fantastic cod and bass fishing we get by then!!
I can confirm the squid comp is a go for 3rd May. Forecast is looking ratehr good. Still havent decided the final times though. Apologies....!!
