Squidding In New England States

[GUnslinger]

Ahhhh Menemsha... I learned to catch squid there in the mid '70s as a teenager. We used, what I now call the Menemsha Jig, the painted white wooden dowel with the treble hook. They sold for a buck at Curly's Texaco. I was a deckhand on my fathers fishing boat "San Domenico II" during the summers then. Me & my buddy Chris would stay up most of the night, every night we were there filling buckets with ease... The following day we'd sell the squid to Pooles for twenty cents a pound...enough to get a couple'a kraut dogs each behind the post office...damn, I can't remember the name of that place!! What memories... Thanks for mentioning Menemsha... One of my favorite places...
