Newport, Ri - 2007 Squid Season

[FlyByNight]

[quote name='Tatonka' post='8862' date='May 13 2007, 02:34 AM']Went squiding this Friday night and saw some familiar faces.....but, not much squid. fished from 8pm to 1:30 am and only caught about a dozen. What happened? Most people agreed that the bite wasn't much better earlier in the day...a couple waves and that was about it. I must say every time I go down I meet nice new people. Trash pick-up has improved a bit from last week.....The city of Newport has helped by placing strategic dumpsters . It was funny I was fishing near one and a little girl ask me if it was my fishing bucket...I Laughed..lol....I wish I could fill it. Around 1pm two separate trucks unloading about 10 buckets full of freshly caught squid to the eager fisherman. It was a fast sell...all the buckets were sold within minutes. Not quit sure how much...At this point I think people wanted to just have some to bring home. This means the squid are somewhere just not at GI? I will try again next week hoping for better luck. I also want to hello to all my new friends, catch those squid. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':moped:' />

Whoa, it is really bad that guys are selling squid; that is a slipperly slope to destruction of the fishery...
