New to Squidding in the PacNW Area

[awaygirl]

Hi! I live in the Seattle area, and one of my goals this winter is to learn how to fish for squid! A friend of mine (who is deployed in the military unfortunately) had planned to teach me how to squid off a pier, but he's no longer able to do so.



I've got a few lures, and would really love to find someone who would be willing to show me the ropes. I've done trout / salmon / bass / sturgeon fishing - but never squid! If there is anyone in the area who would be willing to help a girl out, I'd really appreciate it! Any hints or tips on equipment and areas to hit up would be really helpful too - in case I just go wing it on my own.

if you're in seattle.. head down to the pier right next to the seattle aquarium.. there are usually people there that are willing to share lights and help you out.. i also find alki to be very friendly
