Quote:Very nice post K.O.! It is hard to tell how big your jig is in the photo, but it looks a little large to me. I prefer jigs around 3" total length, they usually seem to out fish the larger ones. I also use four pound test flourocarbon line which is almost totally invisible in the water. A small very sensitive rod also helps you feel the light touch of the loligo squid. When they are hungry and aggressive any jig will do, but when they are finicky you will find the smaller jigs and thin line work better. You don't need to put all thin line on your reel, you can put just 50' or so on to do the trick. The thinner line is also less wind and current resistant. I agree that the peak was and often is in early June for the spring run. I'd like to see "sunny and full moon at 11PM" sounds like fishing around the arctic circle in the land of the midnight sun!! Tight lines and an inky bucket!!This doesn't have anything to do with squid fishing but Gilligan mentioned fishing "around the Arctic Circle in the land of the midnight sun." This is what we catch in the middle of night in the midnight sun:
