Adaptability: the quality of being able to adjust to new conditions.


We’re relatively new to squid fishing. Have only been at it for the past three years in the US. If we learned one thing in that time, it is that you have to be flexible. Well, not really because we see some folks using the same rigs, the same jigs, the same jigging style and they do appear to catch their share of squid. They found a method that works for them and they stick with it.


For us, it is more of game: attempting to figure out what is working best at a particular time. This is a multivariate problem. Many of the factors are know but there are probably a lot that are unknown. The obvious ones are water clarity, water color, Sun angle, jig color, jig size, jig style and of course presentation. The most obvious is: are there squid in the water you are casting into and if so how many per m3 ( i.e. their density)?


Thought I’d have a little fun and develop a probability model of whether or not you’ll get a hit on any particular cast.


Ps=ῤd (Σ(ῤ1-ῤn)/n)=ῤd(ῤw+ῤwc+ῤc1+ῤjc+……………………ῤn)/n)


where: Ps=the probability that a squid will hit on a particular cast, ῤd=squid density, ῤw=The water clarity factor, ῤcl=lure color…..ect.


The equation is a summation of all the factors. If there are n factors involved then the equation is divided by n.

Of course this equations assumes that all the factors are equally weighted.


Hope this doesn’t offend anyone and no one takes it seriously. Just having a bit of fun while not catching squid. However, we know that it does pay to try different things. The last night we were at GIB had to leave early. Only had about an hour and half. After catching a few on bottom rigs with a sinker, they appear to stop biting. Changed over unweighted jigs. The pink ones caught squid but not blue. So that was also changed to an orange with caught well. We got 24 nice specimens in the time we had.


Ruta wants wants everyone to know that this is Martin’s gem. She doesn’t understand it.
