[quote name='RESCUE17' post='14949' date='May 9 2009, 05:03 AM']I would need a rough idea of how many to order. As you can see, the more ordered the cheaper they are.

I'd be glad to bring them down to G.I.[/quote]





JOHNAT and SuzySquid will take 5 bumper stickers??
I'll order 50 stickers to start!

one pattern iv noticed is that wen those round jelly fish are around the squid are around. the water temps u guys get i think are surface temps....... the bottom temp is wat matters

[quote name='pot0mon' post='14969' date='May 9 2009, 08:08 PM']Was there this morning from 9am till 12pm and I got nothing. There was tons of bait fish from the rock wall all the way to the hotel. Anyone else think these bait fish are effecting the squids? Since the bigger fish are chasing the bait fish, the squid don't want to come out and play.[/quote]





I was just there, a lot of people were getting hits, I only got 2 but you have to come at night

[quote name='KGJ' post='14956' date='May 9 2009, 01:58 AM']Epic night of jigging... IE a whole lotta nothin <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Tongue' /> Saw a whole lot of stripers swimming through the lights, and a bunch of herring were hitting some small treble hooks, but that was about it. Some people caught a few squid, but definitely not a good night by any stretch of the means. This was on an outgoing/low tide, so maybe the incoming will be better tomorrow.[/quote]





I saw stripers herrings and a shark, also caught a few squid (last night)

just went to Goat island last night, parking was packed as usual. Squid? here and there not much, the most i saw was 6, mostly up on the bridge, But u gotta be reall lucky. i have a generator and some construction lights down near the cars parking area and spend a good 5 hours at night. nothing at all, i seen school of squid but their just not bitting. perhaps to early but a good try.



I live in the boston area.

driving down Newport was a pain enough, no catch? hurts even more.
Where is Helen H, I am going to try the bridge Monday
helen h is out of hyannis.. my friend was out there this evening.. his last report to me was 2 squid in the bucket.. not much happening.. they slayed them the previous day during lighted hours though
i am feeling all your pains... 4 empty trips so far this year... the only squidding action is on youtube...


Just got back from the Newport bridge area by boat, we took approx. 60 but will post a final count tomorrow. Last week we got 16! The improvements from last week were halogens! We used floating lights prior and got smoked by the ASian boats in the area. This week we had the upper hand and did not see any other boats catching as much. ( the asians bailed early) Last week we fished in out going tide for 16, tonight the incoming but the bite seemed to die on the out going (haven't figured that out yet). Seems to be whatever tide is running between dark and midnight. Will try again next week.

oh, did see a few herring, sandworms and a few round jelly fish. Only a couple in a 5 hour period.

Friday Frances Fleet squid report from the site

Capt. Ray was pleased to report that squid fishing got off on a good note last night. Before the anchor was tight squid were flying over the rails and the majority of the squid were the biggest kind with squid in the 15 to 17 inch range common. Anglers enjoyed a slow steady pick most of the evening with the last hour or so offering a really nice shot of big squid to finish off the night. The catch varied from angler to angler but those in the know did very well filling their pails. Small fluke were seen following the squid jigs to surface on more than one occasion as well. Spring has sprung along Rhode Island's south shore beaches. Next squid trip sets sail tonight at 7pm aboard the Lady Frances

That's FF code for the fishing sucks. I've been reading their reports for years ad that's one definitive conclusion i've reached

I was on the Frances squid trip last night. I caught 7 squid. 2 Fellows on my left caught 1 each. Person on my right got skunked. No one on my side of the boat caught much more than I did.



The mates were having a blast catching porgies all night. Saw some big ones.
