Heard 3 rd hand that there are "few" squid being caught in Chatham on the Cape. From docks.

That is good news, they are in the hood. The winds are holding us back, might not get out till Friday.

From a boat at least, it depends on the night. Some nights you have to turn off the big lights and use just background lighting. Others you need to need to look like one of those japanese squid boats with terrawatts of halogens over the the water.
I use the sky as a clue. If the moon is high and stars bright the lights are way up. Moonless and cloudy, low. But it isn't a hard rule. Sometimes you have to experiment.
But in all cases you will see some squid. If they are light shy, they will be on the edge of your field and you won't get as many, but you will get some.

Greg if you need crew on a Sunday night, Kim and I would be happy to jump in. Actually we'd probably be happy to jump in nearly any night.

Mike, sounds like a plan! The boat is at the point judith marina in wakefield, ri. We can leave whenever is convenient, as long as we can set up before dark we will be good.
I'll pm you with my number.
Thanks!

Ahh, I read that quickly and was assuming you meant tonight. If you can make it great, give me a call, otherwise no issues. I should be getting out often.

Talked to some people on Friday. If you have Naval Station Newport access, people are catching their limits for blackfish off Pier 2. Outside the jetty in the Bay was also historically good. I've gone spear fishing for them in years past off Price's Neck and Ledge Rd. in Newport.
