Newport, Ri - 2009 Squid Season

[Striper1]

And above...If that is your conclusion, I would still be weary fishing for those, I donot wish any problems for anyone... Also, I agree with the previous poster to end the Herring debate as this is a squid fishing community forum...





I have been a part of this site of a few years and enjoy squid fishing. The point being, they are not "IN" yet. I plan on making the journey to Newprot tonight but am fishing under the Newport bridge. I would just not have a totaly useless night and like to catch something. At this point in time if we were to just talk squid the site would close (not true but you know what I mean). The herring discussion also helps the folks on the bridge to do something other than just be cold & wet.



Maybe the herring are the cause for the squid decline we saw last year. Maybe this year will be worse for squid because the herring are seem to be more prominent than in years past. I think ignoring the herring or anything else "out of the norm" would be displacing some answers as to what may be happening to the local fishery. MAybe we are just seeing them more because we are watching the waters closer at this point in time. All part of figuring the environment.
