Quote:I was at GI last night with two colleagues and caught three squid between the three of us.  By the way, my name is Matt.  I'm a scientist over at URI.  We're studying squids and are trying to catch some and keep them alive for experiments.  If you ever see us (we always have a big white cooler full of seawater with us) we happily take squid donations! But we need them alive!
I would suggest a trip on Frances Fleet. You should be able to manage a lot more than 3. From shore, you wait and hope they come by. On a boat, you go where they are. I would also add some aeration to your cooler. More than a couple and you will deplete your oxygen and fill the cooler with ink. Ideally, you would bring a pump and continuously add new seawater.
