Puget sound, WA (2013 season)

[Luminous Loligo]

Sorry to repeat this but apparently the moderator belatedly posted the message being on vacation so I got no response. I was planning to come up from Portland and wanted some advice from the Puget Sound squidding community. Thanks in advance for helping to make my trip a success.

 

When would you expect the peak of the season to occur and where in the sound would peak numbers of squid be located now? Is the Seattle waterfront the most reliable location regardless of season timing?

 

Would you recommend evening high tides as the best time assuming they are around? Do you find that the extreme tides of new/full moons decrease the catch more than quarter moon tides?

 

What about the period around the full moon? Do you think that the light of the full moon disperses the schools or do you find the catches improve?

 

What piers around the Seattle Tacoma metro area have 24 hour access and the best lighting?

 

Also, I was looking to reach Yoda of Yoda's jigs. I have an email address but I am not sure it is still good. Can anyone put me in touch with him via pm?

 

Happy squidding.
