Newport, Ri - 2008 Squid Season
[quote name='Squidaholic' post='11094' date='Apr 30 2008, 01:58 PM']Any truth to this! My cousin was trying to squid the dock (Pier 9, I think) and was approached by DEM for payment of $70 per person to fish the dock and $100 per car to park in the lot. Anyone want to comment on this?[/quote]



I think that is the commerical docks(saw a sign said State Pier 9 ?) right next to the bridge. There is a DEM office inside there. But collecting money seems fishy. Saw people sneaking in there, but also saw Newport police car patrol there, tow truck went in there and boat owners chasing people out there.

Thanks snaildarter. I checked with Helen H at Hyannis and they're saying squid are not in yet. Frances Fleet in RI, however, stated that they asre showing in good numbers in Newport area. Like you said, you never know...
FYI, there is a Wal-Mart right off Rt 138 on Middletown side if you need fishing gear or latern gas, no squid jig though.

I'm only going saturday instead of friday b/c I don't want to have to rush up there or battle rush hour traffic on 95N. Plus I'll get to sleep in saturday morning so i wont' be tired from work.

last year may 1 was very good run ... that does not mean anything.
hey all, first time posting, but a long time avid reader.. hope to see some of you guys on sat night. ill be the guy with blue flashlights (waterproof and very powerful)hanging from the bridge or seawall. i hope the drive from nyc is well worth the trip.
When people say they are fishing the weekend do they fish 1 or 2 days? From out of town.
Wow, sounds like a lot of people are going this weekend. I am still waiting to see what the weather will do. I'd love to come down in the boat again. Good luck to all.
just left the bridge. Very slow. I got nothing and saw very few caught.

Does anyone have one of these and does it work?[/quote]



I've read alot about the UFO led's. They don't give off very many lumens. At least that what it said in the article in "High Times". I think the coleman propane is the most efficient lighting around.

Like i said, anything that cheap and made in china is not gonna work well. Why in gods name would high times review that thing. LOL

Wow there's a good amount of people signing up and joining in the fun. We should have an annual squidding contest. I've actually seen pictures from some Hong Kong Squid championship. The guy had a trophy and everything. I'll settle for a 6 pack of Bass Ale and a bucket or two of squiddlies
