[quote name='johnat' post='15587' date='Jun 3 2009, 08:10 AM']I went last night and besides the few people catching it was slow for the rest of us. There were not alot of people at GI. Lots of sqiud bumping the jigs but not taking. Since this was my 8th time out this year with less than 50 squid caught I got bored and started throwing my net. I was kind enought to let others use my generator light to jig. I threw my net off to the side of my light about ten feet away from my light.
I am deifinatley not an expert net thrower. It is not as easy as it looks and is a bit of work. I would much rather catch them jigging. Anyways the net did not scare the sqiud. They would scatter and return to the light quickly. I ended up with about 70 after 1 1/2 hours. If I did not net we would have left wtih 7 squid.
I could have filled a bucket but was too damn tired of throwing. I was getting sloppy and decided to call it a night around 11:00 am.
Saw only one squid net member Alan.[/quote]
That was You. You should have waved me over. I was so lonely on the bridge
