I completely agree with you Calamariaddict. the squid can't be in just Greenport and Huntington. I've caught the squid bug bigtime, and I'm determined to find some new spots. I tend to think that Long Island has a lot of untapped squidding potential. Jut because a couple of spots get all of the attention doesnt mean they aren't in a lot of other places too. I was also thinking of trying the Jones Beach piers. The Kings Point ramp has crazy current, likewise the Captree piers. I don't know how that might affect the squidding, but it's worth a try.Â
Â
One thing though, with regards to any new spots that are discovered, NO GENERATORS PLEASE!!!. Long Island has some of the most restricted shore access anywhere. While most communities don't pay attention to outsiders fishing their docks at night during the off season, it doesn't take much to attract the wrong kind of attention and get a place locked up for the whole year. Having generators and construction lights with more candlepower than the sun running in the middle of the night is really asking for trouble. The LEDs work fine. Last season I used a 4' submersible LED light (Hydro Glow) and cleaned up on many nights.Â
