Quote:Combat fishing! Not really. It gets crowded at times. But one thing I don't think some people like or understand is that when the squid come in a certain area it can get shoulder to shoulder. That can be good. If the squid see all those jigs (bait)! In the water it keeps them around longer. Most people are fine with that. The only thing is people don't pick up their trash. The City of Newport supplies trash barrels on the bridge, at the end of the bridge and in the parking area. There is no excuse to leave trash on the bridge and those areas.I second this opinion. I find it a bit comical... It will be a slow period and everyone is half-heartedly jigging. All of a sudden, two or three guys will get a couple squid in a spot. Within about a minute, guys are sprinting across the bridge and jumping in to that spot, dropping their jigs down. Then, 10 minutes later, they are all sprinting to another spot. Meanwhile, they guys quietly jigging, pull up squid after squid and don't make a sound. No one even notices their luck. The trick is, they have a bucket with squid in it with a board on top that they sit on and their mostly empty bucket has two or three squid in it.
