Newport, Ri - 2009 Squid Season

[angy168]

Also went to Tiverton Sunday morning for togging. Saw some big togs caught by others, but overall it's a very slow bite and the wind blow really hard from west, quit after 2 hours and gave the crabs to the pro group.



Here's a Hyannis squidding report on boat from another site:

squids in Hyannis



I was on Anglers last night because Helen-H was full even though I had reservation. Turned out good for us in terms of comfort because we were drifting while trying to locate squids. I can't imagine drifting light jigs with others on Helen-H. We tried to anchor a few times but it was better while drifting.

We had about 70. thats right 70 not 700 or 7 qts. It was not worth of the driving from NYC to Hyannis and lack of sleeping. But the time I spent with both my parents was Priceless.

Squids were scattered all over the place and was very cautious grabbing jigs. I had many torn tenacles on jigs. I think they are there but was spooked by something. Captain said even though he locates pods, they will dissappear in 5 min after anchoring up and fishing.
