Newport Ri 2015 Squid Season

[Crazyjaw96]

I was thinking off hitting the FF as well, the forecast kind of turned me off, I saw SW 10-15 with gusts to 20 and 3 ft seas.

That forecast is nothing to worry about.  I would take my boat out in that and i'm half the length and a fifth the mass.

I've gotten 400 in the last 3 days. I'm tired of catching squid.

From shore or a boat?

[callofduty]

From shore north of Newport. Nailed the jig combo. 1000 watts help too

I'm heading back up to RI tonight. Looking forward to some good calamari this long weekend! Hope to bump into BillG, Janz, or Gilligan one of these nights!

Went out with FF last night.  Left the dock at 7pm and returned at 12:30am   Was still light when we started

and fished for 1 1/2 hrs before it got dark enough to turn on the lights.  not a single squid was caught during

that time.  Once dark enough it was a very slow pick of mixed size tubes.  Towards the end there were some

at the surface but very hard to get them to take the jig, they liked to look at it.   I caught exactly 20 squid for

the night.   Best on the boat was not much more than that.   Even numbers of small med and large tubes.

Pink and crystal clear were the best colors.   Most squid came on the top jig that was about 3-4 feet above

the bottom jig.   But if you tried to fish that zone keeping your weight off the bottom got no takes.  Got 3 at

the surface doing the figure 8 with top jig just under the surface.  One double for me the whole night.  There

were squid there just not concentrated in numbers like last year, heard every excuse in the books as to why

its like that.   Mostly 2' waves then some rain and then flattened right out, but was cold.  Met an angler who

visits the forum but doesn't post.  Should have been there Wed night, story of life.

not sure if I ran into you JANZ, I was mostly in the bow.  they did not want to bite at all, just touching the jig.  I had decent life for 25 min at the end, although again they were just barely tapping the jig.  most on the bottom but definitely on the higher hooks.  caught & released two 16-16.5" fluke at the beginning...didn't know that would be the highlight of the action

Looks like they're slowing down in. Caught less and less each night the past week. Sat/Sun was killer. Went from 15 an hour to not even 3 an hour last night. Might try again tonight. North of Newport.

Bristol was hot but last night the cops came down and kicked everybody off both town piers for fishing the private float docks.boats were getting inked and trash was being left behind as well as pot smoking and alcohol use.i wasn't there personally but received a call from a friend as soon as it happened.only a handful of locals with parking permits were allowed to stay in the parking lots.if anyone is planning to head there tonight beware of the posted signs now that they've been there they will b back every night unfortunately.just park on the main road and fish the main dock.not worth getting tagged and towed for squid.

Couple of nights ago, went to JT.

Some other guys were arguing ended up cop came by kicked out every one from there.

Thank you for your stupidity

Can you use a generator on the town public dock

[dabeers54]

I was just there the other day but was using dock electric

[JANZ]

Wow that all sounds familiar.  More and more of the not so pleasant folks have taken up squidding.

[squidman13]

Went for striper in Bristol.while waiting screwed around squidding ended up with 43 but no stripers.wind was brutal tonight.

[Teezer]

I second the wind, brutal!

I haven't counted but almost half a bucket.

They are lovin' the pink mini yo zuri! The blue yo zuri was catching the bigger squid tonight.

Yeah. This is reason why I was bitching.

All I want to do is relaxing not kicked out while I'm relax.
