hi there,
the best way i know of to catch a squid is to go out at night with a torch and spot them. I am not sure where you live but in port phillip bay (in Victoria, Australia) I often see small red coloured octopus crawling around on the sand in shallow water as I am spot-lighting for flounder and other fish to spear. It would be quite easy to use a small net to scoop up these octopus without injuring them.
There is a good website called [url="http://www.tonmo.com"]http://www.tonmo.com[/url] for tips on keeping an octopus in a fish tank.
Let us know how you go,
Cheers, Glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
