2017 Rhode Island Squid Report

[lasker31]

The bouy in Newport sound is reading 46 degrees today so with the warm weather we are having this week it might actually be worth dropping a jig in next weekend. Good luck and happy squiding. Also, a couple of the commercial boats have brought in fresh squid out of Galilee but I have no idea how far south or how deep they had been fishing. Seawell seafood in Pawcatuck/Stonington was selling some of the aforementioned fresh Point Judith squid for a whopping $8.99 a pound (whole and uncleaned). I know its still technically out of season and I have seen fresh squid prices creep up with each passing year but Yowza. For the record, seawell usually has good prices for quality fresh fish so my statement above is no knock on them.
