Squid in Greenport,LI NY usually comes around the same time as Newport RI..End of April-Early May.. From reading reports on Greenport LI,Ny squid last year.. I hope there will be much better season there this year for them.. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blueboxbullet.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Just curious...what is generally an ideal water temp to get the bite going?

[NorthBar Tackle]

48-52 Degrees is ideal for the squid.

[quote name='SchuckMyClam' post='10725' date='Apr 23 2008, 12:55 AM']Hey everyone. I just learned about squid fishing this past October while striper fishing. A very friendly couple was fishing for squid & taught me all about it. My buddies & I have been "hooked" ever since.



They told me Greenport was the place to be in the Spring so I have been anxiously counting down the months for this time to come.



I have enjoyed reading all the posts in this fishing forum and the information here has been very useful.



I have made several trips already along the North Shore as well as Greenport and this is what I have noticed:



04/13 (9pm-11pm) @ Greenport - NOTHING!

04/20 (9pm-12am) @ Mount Sinani/Cedar Beach - NOTHING!

04/21 (10pm-12am) @ Stony Brook - 1st report of squid!!! I saw 2 squids swimming right on the surface around my lantern. Only problem? THEY'RE NOT BITTING MY JIGS, so maybe they're not hungry yet? I don't know!



I can't go tonight but I am definately trying again tomorrow and will be staying at friends of family out in Greenport this weekend. I will keep you all posted.

P.S. - Jerry & Lisa ... Where are you guys?! I hope to find you in this forum![/quote]



Where did you see squid at Stony Brook? The marina?

[angy168]

[quote name='SchuckMyClam' post='10745' date='Apr 23 2008, 12:44 PM']Yes. It might have been random but they didn't hit the jigs and then they were gone within 5-10 minutes of the first time I sighted them. They must be swimming through here and concentrating elsewhere? If anyone knows anything about this area please let me know.
