Quote:Hey HoboDave45! I drive about hour to get to Newport from Massaschusetts . It's hard to find a timely report of when they are biting. I squid fished the Salem Willows, Boston Harbor and Various Cape Locations. I always get the story " You should have been here last night...Blah blah blah".. I guess that's why they call it fishing not catching. I hope to see you down in GI !Â
That's a tough one. I usually post my reports on location while squidding, if it's slow. Sometimes, I will drive by, park and walk the causeway and see empty buckets. However, if they are biting and I'm there, I probably don't post until I leave. I usually do it while waiting at the red light by the dinner train station, but that's still after I was there. But then, it's really like trying to play the stock market. We know they will be in and running sometime between mid-April and mid-June. We know they will probably be the best (IMHO) from a week after the full moon to a week before the full moon. And we know that some nights will be one (or more) squid on every drop and other nights (sometimes the next night) will be lockjaw (do squid have jaws?) and other nights will be in between and other nights will be barren. So your options are, go every night or just go and have fun and hope for the best with the knowledge that you can always buy your squid at the bait store or the fish market the next morning.
