hi all i live in england but i am of spanish decent so i go to spain when ever i can having only returned from spain on the 26th aug. im new to fishing but am now hooked on squiding as i spoke to a couple of people to find out what i needed and where to go etc. it seems to be busier on calm nights where i went at the start of the long stone pier near the castillo de san anton in la coruna north galicia thats north/west of spain, about 20 people where squiding including 3 women they were all shoulder to shoulder and i mean shoulder to shoulder as in touching shoulders every one i saw used a pink lure with a glow light about 30cm away from it no floats every one was casting and retreiving strait away at verying speeds. i only saw one person using a lure with a red led flashing inside of it but he didnt catch anything. i did manage to catch 1 one night while everybody else was catching them every 20 mins or so. i think i need alot of practice. just before i left to fly home i got told that you do need a licence to sea fish which is available from the town hall. any one who can go should as the north of spain is the real spain it might help if you know a little spanish as the older generation doesnt tend to know english as its not a tourist destination.
