10/13. Went to Kingston tonight and must have caught the very tail end of the bite. It was around 2030 or 2100 hrs, 2nd cast caught 2 nice sized squid at the same time. Using a Colman's Clear bullet jig in line with Colman's Squid Claw. Half hour later caught a tiny guy and that was it. All 3 squid were caught right off the bottom, but then it's not very deep there. Also noticed some of the lights were out by the passenger ferries, wonder if that may have helped my cause. Stayed out until 0030 hrs.
I'll take it, these are the first squid I've ever caught :thumbsup2:and they came after a month or so of trying.
There is at least one seal who has taken up residence and as soon as he came poking around things got quiet, though I caught the small one after the seals appearance.
Thanks for the Squid Claw and the technique advice John!

Ok, that's supposed to be 11/13. That's what I get for posting so early in the AM.
11/14 Went to Kingston dock again. Line in the water at about 2030hrs. I was pulling them up pretty consistently until about 2200. Brought in 20 squid all but 3 were very nice size. Same rig as yesterday. Actually all the conditions were the same except the seal. The bite ended at almost exactly 1 1/2 before peak high tide. I noticed that the bait fish had moved on or got spread out.There was no heavy current or swell and the water was clear.
