Catching Fresh Squid

[GregAndrew]

It is always the right time to catch Squid when it is around. Techniques will vary, and everybody is an expert at their technique. Vacuum pack that stuff up in small groups of 7 or 8 pieces so you can just take what you need next time. Best tip i can give you is fish a piece right in the same area you are jigging. They like to hang around Squid on a hook, and will follow it well away from the bed.

Better yet, how about Yanni letting us know how to cook left over squid that we catch.

Market squid, Loligo opalescence, usually come to the coast in huge numbers to spawn in winter or early spring.. They generally don't trickle in in small numbers. Getting dope or being out and seeing birds, dogs, or boats on the squid bed area off LJ will let you know. The candy catchers, squid sibikis, are the way to go. Squid usually appear green rather than red like bait fish on color FF's in my experience. Lower the squid jig down n slowly wind up. Squid don't really "hit", the rig just feels a bit heavier. And because the points aren't barbed you don't want to bounce a squid jig up n down like sibiki or the squid usually just slide off. Mike

Murray,

there is a new category in the NEW website for fishermansbelly.com.
That category is called "lobster, crabs, squid"

The new website will be launched in time for the Fred Hall Show
early in March. The new website is formatted to make it easy
to find recipes for your specific species of fish.

So far there's only one squid recipe, but believe
me, there will be tons more. I love to eat squid (more than wsb!).

More than wsb? Man Yanni, that must be one Big Time calamari recipe. Can't wait to see your new site next month. Now all I need to do is get my lazy fanny out on the water. Been fighting a cold for 2 weeks but just about good to go. Thanks again.
