I have never been squidding before, but have been doing my research. We have a large boat and would like to try squidding from the boat with lights. We are from Olympia and I was wondering if there is a good spot closer to home than Tacoma. I have read many differing opinions about muddy vs. clear water, depths, tackle ect. I think I will try light gear, stay off the bottom, and use lights. Fish & Wildlifes site says most of our local water is good for squid, but I don't put too much weight on that. Can anyone give me an idea where to start, and how much water to try? Our boat draws 4 1/2 feet of water, how shallow should we anchor? Any info is greatly appreciated!
