When there's a squid bite...all bets are off. I remember this googin looking dude in a beauty of a black yacht screaming through everyone's setups right at dusk.

Turns out to be Neil and his buddy and they plow to a stop right on top of me, Neil flips me a beer then takes off to the other side of the set leaving me with all the pissed off boaters. Can you imagine what all the a-holes were saying to me until everything went dark??? ...and then there was the time about 8 of us yakkers kept drifting within 5' of a boat as EVERYONE nailed solid butts. The boater ended up with 8 quality and we got 10. We were all good working it hard together in unison. It's a def a mixed crowd out there Jim

Not only a Squid bite, but a smaller Squid bed is gonna change the dynamics. If anyone is camped out (fishing) on a small squid bed, they can't expect to get casting distance room all around them. I have seen Squid beds at LJ many times that you could easily cast across. In those situations, feel free to get in chatting distance with me. But if you are gonna fish the spot too, be ready to get your lines (1 fishing and 1 bait only) out of the way if I hook up.

On the flip side... how about the kayakers who have troll lines out 150 yards.
