2020 MA/RI Squid Thread

[greg ct]

Do not go on the Francis boat. Caught barely 10 squid on friday night....squid are gone... We had one male passenger coughing like a dump truck for 6 hours, they should have thrown the guy off the boat as he also wasn't wearing a mask.

Screening is inexistant on this boat.

 

The problems with society are people and money.  That will never change.  But yes, the boat should have handed the guy a mask or told him they were heading in (t's about 15 mins each way).  

 

But I really doubt the squid are "gone".  I've been fishing these beaches for a long time, and what you find in may and june is that you have good days and terrible days.  I've had great catches well into July.

 

But every year is different.  It's possible they have moved deeper or back out to sea, but history says they are just not always where you look for them.

 

That said, coughing jerk is a very good reason to either not fish on a head boat or call them and give them a piece of your mind.  If enough customers bring it up, they will change.
