I put in an hour on Thursday early evening (mid to high incoming tide) right after sunset. Despite attracting a crazy big ball of bait fish I didn't see a single squid. The 10 knot wind and showers made for a quick night. I'm going to try again tonight sometime after 10pm when the winds are supposed to die down. The ocean surf has bee up the last couple days so hopefully this will not drive the squid offshore.
Â
I did speak to a couple commercial fisherman (deckhands) on Thursday night who had just come back from a squid run with poor results. They said they were switching to shrimp on the next run (Royal Red Shrimp aka Stonington Reds). They said last November their boat had one of its best Fall Squid halls in awhile. I was still spearfishing in November and hadn't even thought about squid fishing, oh well.
Â
Oh yeah, when I went surfing friday afternoon I saw a dead porgy on the beach.Â
