I started squid fishing 6 years ago, and the more i research the sport, the more I realize how little we know about these creatures:
1. Does any one know the approximate water temperature that trigger squid to migrate into local waters? Greenport etc...
2. Has anyone had any luck catching squid off piers with cast nets?
3. The last few squid seasons have been horrible in Greenport. I'm starting to think that the warmer the water temperature, the worse the squid season will be. It seems that when we have warm water on the North Fork of Long Island, the Blue Fish move in too soon and decimate the squid/ fluke season.
In short, I'm trying to pinpoint any indicators that correlate with approximate squid arrivals in Greenport.
One more question: What is the earliest any of you have caught squid in Greenport? It seems that April 24th is a reasonable date to begin my squid fishing endeavors.
