I would like to give squiding a try in the Vancouver, BC area but not not know what to look for in a squiding location. I see the posts for the Washington area so I assume they will be up here as well.
If you are not fishing for them, will you see them from the docks or piers, or will you only see them coming up after your jig?
I see that the jigs look like prawns. Does the pier then need to have prawns or dock shrimp nearby (crawling on the pilings etc.)? The docks I am thinking of do not have them ( I have seen them on Vancouver Island docks). However, I do catch prawns by trap between 200-300 ft and if the traps happen to land in mudder, shallower water (150-200ft) I do catch smaller species of shrimp, but there are none shallow (around the docks).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
