I have a few basic questions about squidding... coming from a salmon/steelhead/sturgeon backround i was curious if squid could smell.. if so is there a scent i could buy. also presentation is of some importance? noticing all the various colors of jigs on the dock and askin around it seems to be a personal preferance thing. reading the articles and previous posts i have realized that perhaps my jigs(standard size) might be too big. i want to catch more, dont really care about size. there has to be some kind of science to this... speed of jigging and water depth?
also when fishin at edmonds i have noticed that a select few fisherman are catchin squid while i'm not. are they cachin my squid? like their bait better? would it be better to move down and away from them?
going again to edmonds friday night for some cold bonding.[/quote]
