Newport Ri 2016 Squid Season

[K.O.]

Thank you for your advice, Gilligan!

1. It is too big jig
   
   
2. “Sunny” is not appropriate word for expressing a clear night.
   
   

I always use 2, 2.5, and 3-inch jigs. It is most effective for squids in Rhode Island.


Last winter, I asked my Japanese friend to bring a “size 3 squid jig of Yamashita”. She brought this big jig. Japanese standard is different!


I might as well use this jig on last Friday and found that this big jig prevented small squids from approaching. Anyway, I will use small jigs next time.


And I want a sensitive rod! My Walmart rod is very tough, but I can’t feel the squids. Other masters use very thin and delicate rods. Most important thing, I think, in squid fishing is how to feel squid. I will buy a new rod this weekend.


You must be a great and smart fisherman, since you correctly guessed my situation from only two pictures.


 

To Alaskanaturally,


That huge trout (Salmon?) is excellent! Since I’m Japanese, I’ve only seen such a huge trout on TV. Thanks to you, I’ll never forget the word “midnight sun” and “clear night”.
