[quote name='BerBer' post='16367' date='Sep 28 2009, 11:01 AM']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.[/quote]





Hard to say on depth and location. I know the guys fishing for salmon had been picking them up there. So I think if you ran out several miles to maybe the 150-200' line would be a good place to start. If you're going to do it at night, I would just suggest drifting with your lights, and just jig at varying depths.



As for jigs, baited jigs would work, but I don't currently have any heavy hooks in stock for making up baited jigs suitable for humboldt squid. I do have some new Humboldt Squid Jigs that are lit up by LED lights that have had really good results.



I unfortuneately won't be able to go after humboldt squid till next year now, as hunting season is coming up, and need to start preparing for that.



If I can help you with jigs or any thing else, let me know.
