Got out last night for the first time since I was a kid (ironically, at Brownsville dock). Took my 12 yr old son. Beautiful, calm evening. Went out to Brownsville dock and saw around 10-15 people jigging for squid. They said the action was slow but they were still pulling some in. Mostly 4-7". This one guy we hung around probably had a good 15-20 caught while we were there. Son and I caught 6 between us. Gave them to the dude that shared his flood light space with us.
Next time I'll take my own flood light (need special electrical connector to connect to dock power). They all were using single squid jigs. up to 4 on a line approx. 8-10" between each one. Saw what looked like schools of smelt also, but no one was going for them.
Talk was that there are larger squid around Port Orchard and that this was a pretty slow night.
90 minutes of relaxing cool jigging
Next time I hope to get enough to bring home a cook up
