Newport, Ri - 2009 Squid Season

[Striper1]

OK missed yesterday and have some catching upo to do.



MK Skler- I have the pink andsardine looking ones and they did not work for me. Not to say they are not worth trying but I did not have any luck with them.



The squid are in the area! I got outfished by alot last week. If I was the only boat under the bridge I would say they were not in but 10' away from us I watched a boat pull squid of all sizes in at a rate of 100/hr. That was for approx 4 hrs on an in coming tide. I hope this week will be better.



As far as lights go, I do not believe the bright the better. I feel it is the quanity of light and not the quality. I had 6 floating lights and feel the ASIAN's drew the squid to them with 4 brighter halogens that were just above the water. Just a perception so far.



I would be interested in buying 3 of the bumper stickers. I thing the would also make cool long sleeve shirts with GISS on the pocket, the sleeves covered with interlinked chain of squid and the banner on the back of the shirt!
