Alaskanaturally, Your corner was hot the last two nights. 

Matt, Do you mean the point by the bridge?

There were so many boats squidding out of Pt Judith last night that it looked like a city of lights.

Was out with frances fleet last night. Heavy current and the seabass have invaded caught 30 in 4 fours

I was thinking of doing Frances sat night, glad I didn't after that report.

Ya current is going to be tough this week with the supermoon. I would keep a eye out next weekend. Last year the squid were around all summer. I kayak for fluke and most of the fluke was spitting up squid all summer

Al, we have a friend who always hangs over a squid jig when drifting around for fluke. Quite successful.

Any squid at the Goat? If not, when do you expect they'll show up?

 

[Matsquidman]

I am making a trip over to Goat. Water has been warm. Hope to find some calamari for the winter. Will report. No one else seems to be reporting!

I'm thinking of making a trip to goat too for the fall squid run. Any information would be much appreciated 🤗

[Matsquidman]

Have not been to Goat yet!  Heard two weeks ago there was a very good night !  Also heard that they are there and it’s expected to get better. Will find out and report.

We did pretty good the two days we spent there a couple weeks ago (I think about 188 squid, mixed sizes). However, you really had to work at it. Hope to make another trip when the herring show up.

[Matsquidman]

Thanks for the info!!

[angler]

Thanks for the updates. I may try next week and will post the outcomes. Hopefully, squids are still around 🤔

[Matsquidman]

Just came back from Newport. Squid being caught at all the usual places. Flat calm, bright moon, air 61 degrees, water 64.9 !!!

[angler]

Oh my... Missed out 😟

Unbelievably, the squid were at GI this past weekend. I had to report because Sunday 11/7/2021 was one of the best two hours in a long time. All three three days were good one hour before and one hour after sunset. I did not go during the day so I can’t report on those times. Half of the squid were small-medium and the others very large. I caught as many in the dark as before sunset. There was a lot of bait on Sunday. Ironically all three nights slowed way down when people turned on the lights.

Thanks Matt, Always enjoy reading about squidding success or failure for that matter. Yes, when we were there last, the best time was around sunset and even better an hour before sunrise and an hour or two after. Now that we got our deer and it is all butchered up and in the freezer, going to try to make another trip up there. But might wait until the herring show up.   Hope to see you soon.
