Quote:I just checked the water temp. in Nantucket Sound and it is 44.6. Does anybody know where is the squid migrate from?
They move in from the continental shelf. I always believed that temperature was important, however, research shows that they feed and breed all year round. Like most animals, they follow the food and their reproductive drive. The water temp. contributes to the increase, at all levels, of the food chain inshore. The squid follow the food. They also follow their reproductive drive, which is linked to the moon. Based on temp. and moon, it may be a couple more weeks. Or the run could start tonight. The only was to know is to get out there. I will probably wait until Mother's Day weekend before going out, unless I see reports of people catching fluke on the ocean front.
