[quote name='hitznmisses' date='Dec 31 2004, 02:25 PM']my brother and i went to redondo last night for the first time squidding. i had read just abouut everything i could find on squidding and it's techniques. we both caught one squid in four hours. the ones doing all the catching were the ones right under the lights. I was wondering would it be better to jig from a boat? Thats if we had our own light source. Also what lights work the best, flourescent, halogen, etc? another question, when and where are the best times for squidding in the olympia - tacoma areas?ÃÂ <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/us.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':au:' />

Hey .... you want to squid at Redondo Pier, it really does not matter if it's high tide or low tide this year!!! We've had several runs during low(minus)tide with big squid coming in. What does matter is lights and water movement. If you are under or near the lights you are in business, but if you are not, well you will struggle. They do seem to come in spurts when the water is either moving in or out. It has been a really slow and wierd year at Redondo. I go there for at leat 6 - 8 hours a night for 5 to 7 days a week. Stick to the GREEN or PINK jigs from JIM. He's really works!!!
