Newport, RI - 2005 squid season

[squidjigdotcom]

Sounds like you put in a lot of work without a lot of success.



My personal recommendation for one is to use a weighted squid jig on the bottom, we have some that are 1oz and ideal for a bottom jig. Have had other customers do very well this way, and actually caught over half of their squid on the weighted jig.



I'm not sure which yo-zuri jigs you were using, but I definitely recommend using luminous glow in the dark jigs. You do need to remember to charge up the glow in the dark jigs with an electric light though, which will add to your success. Size 1.5 - 2.5 are good sizes.



Good Luck..

I pulled an all-nighter with 2 friends on one of their boats and we only managed about 75 squid combined. The other boats were doing much better.



What were we doing wrong? We used 3 Yo-zuri #2 jigs (blue and pink) tied about 18" apart with a 1oz or 2oz weight tied below. We fished the bottom as well as mid-water and had less sucess than everyone else.



Any Ideas?
