[color="blue"]Squid are moving into both Niantic Bay and Stonington Harbor in good numbers and can be jigged at night with squid jigs; chumming helps.
The pound net in Niantic Bay owned by Brian Sullivan is full of squid being sold to area tackle shops. Some people are out catching them on their own.
In the last seven days the shop sold 50 squid jigs, plastic lures around two to three inches long with metal spikes sticking out of the bottom at a 45-degree angle. You lower one of these weighted lures down to the feeding squid that grab hold and get their tentacles caught in the spikes. Some people rig the jigs in tandem, getting multiple squid in one drop.
There are squid on the Watch Hill reefs but only a few sporadic stripers so far, and those were on the small fish.
The Millstone outflow holds schoolies and small blues or you can try in Niantic Bay, anchored up and chumming, jigging for squid, either for food, or bait for bass or fluke.
