I was out this morning looking for a rock pile mentioned in a previous thread. I dropped my sabiki on, what I thought was a bait ball and pulled up a single squid. Pulled up four more singles before I got greedy and tied on my squid gannion. By the time I got that in the water they had disappeared. This was the first time I've made squid. Handling them... didn't feel right.

On my FF, the school showed up like a bait ball but was solid. There were several good sized fish ID'ed within the school. In hindsight I should have sent the first squid back down. What would have been the best way to do this? Flyline? Dropper? C-rig? I was in 180' of water. All this was happening at 30'.

Decided to tie on a dropper and ended up drifting south. Drifted around capo too. No bites all day.
