Newport Ri 2015 Squid Season

[JANZ]

Yep Frances fleet cancelled due to lack of interest from enough people.  I was already 45 minutes into the

2 hr trip when they called me to say its cancelled.   Kept going on to GI only to find lots of people and the

wind was blowing pretty good.  Stayed for 1/2 hr and saw 1 squid taken on the island side of bridge.  Went

across bridge again and found a spot that looked good.  By 9pm the place was packed, It was a slow pick

but squid were there.  Ended up with 9 by midnight and left as a fight started to break out, about the usual

peole who come late and then force their way between you and the next person and now lines get tangled

and the asian lady starts yelling in that hi pitched wine that goes right through you and so it starts.  The folks

that were there early were very nice and helpful, those that came later would step on your head to catch a squid.

Thats why I like fishing out of boat (Frances fleet)  I did take a little break and walked around asking/looking

for sqidderbruce and squidbert but no one knew them, at least the ones that spoke english.   Ahhhh the

squid wars are on.  One thing I did notice is the folks that were doing better (they had about 15 squid) were

using a little bit different technique with a diff setup (sinker between upper and lower jig) like they were

dragging bottom.  Lot of floating weeds was a pain as you had to keep cleaning off jigs.   Squid wouldn't

hit if weeds on hooks trailering jig.
