Newport Ri 2016 Squid Season

[Matsquidman]

Very good advice. I also use a light weight, homemade jig on a 6 or 8 lb line. I cast it out and then I watch my line as the jig slowly sinks. If the line stops sinking, or if it gets taut, then I know I have a squid on my line. Unfortunately I now live in SC and I'm not always able to be there (visiting family) when the bite is on, but I will be there at least a couple of weeks starting this Wednesday. I sure hope that I will be able to get a bucket or two (I know I'm being greedy) and enjoy them there plus bring some back home to SC..

I use different weights and let it go with the current as long as it slowly sinks using a small jig. If the current is strong use enough weight to get to the bottom quickly using two or three jigs.
