A beautiful Monday morning in Portugal - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

THE DARKHORSE · 04-20-2009, 11:24 AM

If I remember correctly they tast more like Lobster than Squid. Having never fished there, I can't help but think paddling out past that point in the background and using those things for bait. I doubt we are the only creatures who think Cuttlefish are delicious. Please, for me, take some of those guys out to deeper water. Maybe just a flyline with a 4/0 Owner Gorilla hook or something similar, let them swim mid column for a while before giving them more line to reach the bottom. I'm sure if you allowed them to they would just hide in the sand, no good. Please post the results.

Hi

I wish they taste like the lobster, but no, the taste is almost identical to squid!
About the technique that you recommended here in this area it is very difficult to do effect
But in other places we use the cuttlefish into strips to catch other big fish!

best regards

Can't help but to notice your footprints are the only ones in the sand... how cool is that? A thing of the past in California... cool report. Those things are wierd.

They are very good eating. Their body walls are thicker than squid but if cooked right, they are very tender.

Ramos, in that 4th picture "My first catch", what is that stuff in the cup holder? Do you use regular squid jigs?

thanks,
Nate

Is that the ocean? Med Sea? Looks like a lake. Beautiful.

Hi

What I have there is a sponge that allows me to clean the dirt that the cuttlefish do they also throw jets of ink as the octopus

And yes I use regular jigs thar we can find in any store of fishing in Portugal
here you get a picture

Responding to rdahl

That beach is in teh end of the mouth of a river of fresh water, so the water is salty and if we walk a little further we go out into the Atlantic Ocean

P.S. - Sorry my english

Wow, it shows what is regular in one place might seem quite odd in another. I've never seen squid jigs like that where I shop or perhaps don't look in the right spots.

Fascinating post.
