Camano Island Squid

[Steemer]

Hello - new boat owner here - long time fisherman. First off - I caught a huge squid (about 2 feet in length - big to me) off Westport while Tuna fishing. It was about 2am and I couldn't sleep so I dropped a squid jig in and WHAM! I had him.



Anyhow - I have a new boat, and live on Camano Island. I want to catch squid - obviously not as big as I caught in Westport.



I want to camp on the boat, light up the night and squid fish all night. Can I do this anywhere on the water, or should I move to shallow water or what?



I am ready to catch squid! Help me out here! <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':beer' />

Hi Steemer,

Our family has a place on Sunrise Beach since 1955. I never saw any squid the few nights we have been on the water. But they are catching small calamari off the Edmonds pier. So that might be a place to start and work north, who knows, they may be in the Saratoga Passage. The squid are in Edmonds in the winter, don't know about the rest of the year. Good squidding and greetings from San Diego where we got an unusual visit for a couple of months from the 35lb squid that usually stay farther south.

The squid are pretty much all over right now...... not sure if they are ones that moved in off the ocean, or the ones that spawned from the winter..... Have reports of people catching them all over, although relatively small..... and not huge numbers.....



Small squid.. smaller jigs...
