I'm actually gonna head out to Green Hill tonight so I'll fill ya in if I fill my buckets <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

From what I hear a lot of them haven't spawn yet so their feeding.
Which is why the squids choose their locations. They attach their eggs to reefs. They're usually these seaweed that seem to cling onto rocks. That's what squids attach their eggs to. There are a lot of reefs in Newport and more in Green Hill. Reefs are around beaches so it makes sense squids are around too.
Squid will travel inshore to lay eggs so their young would prosper with the abundance of food in the shallows. The squid you catch in the fall are the hatchlings from the spring's spawn. They grow very fast!
I caught all of this on nature channels. Yea, I have too much time on my hands.

Some mentioned Green Hill but when I look at it on a sattelite photo all I see are sandy beaches.
Does anyone here catch squid off a beach? I thought squid were usually caught in deep water like in newport & Jamestown off of bridges & docks.
Why are Newport & Jamestown so productive & popular if not for the deep, clean water?
If the beaches @ Green Hill are productive wouldn't Scarborough & the like be productive as well?
