[quote name='squidjigdotcom' post='16366' date='Sep 27 2009, 03:56 PM']If you want to catch Humboldt Squid here, your best bet is Westport. I just got back from Sekiu salmon fishing, and they are catching a few while salmon fishing. We tried it at night in the bay for a couple hours on Saturday night with a big flood light. Brought up lots of herring, but a no-show for squid.
As for local squid, middle of October/November is when they usually start coming in good. I'll be taking my boat out for them this year, I have a power inverter setup, and Metal Halide flood light. NO crowds on my boat either.
Good Luck[/quote]
Thanks for the help. I like the closer drive to Westport instead of Neah Bay anyhow! We just bought some lights and are working on wiring them up on the boat now. What do you recommend for depth/location in Westport? Also, I see countless squid jigs. If people are catching them while targeting salmon, is Herring my best bet? I see Colman's has some pretty neat bait jigs.
