OC squid grounds - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr. Adventure · 05-31-2012, 08:21 PM

I, like many others, am thrilled from the reports of last weekend and will be heading out of Dana Saturday to get in on some of this squid & WSB action. Assuming they decided to hang around.

I just wanted to throw out what I know and see if it sounds like a game plan. Kevin pointed out squid to me when we passed over some and I sketched it out, it looked like a bait ball but was hugging the bottom. So on a finder it looks like a school but spread more horizontal right?

I've never made squid before, is there a certain depth they like to hang around? I know they move but from all I've read they stay somewhat deep. It also seems that the best time to make them is in grey light.

And finally once you've got your squirts I assume you drop them near where the squidders are and wait for those ghosts to come after them?

I know everyone is pretty tight lipped on this, and I'm super appreciative of any info. Thanks for the reports that have us all excited to get out there and get on this opportunity!

I thought squid was breed in captivity and sold for 80 bucks a scoop? Your plan sounds pretty solid to me. Get a squid jig they can be pretty tricky to hook on a sabiki from what I hear

The DP squid have been hangin around in 70 to 90 ft for the past 10 days. I went out Wed and saw quite a bit of it but they didn't seem to want my squid jig or sabiki. Went out on Thursday and I couldn't find any. They were replaced by acres of tinyl anchovies. The schools were as dense I have ever seen. From surface to bottom spread across acres. The DP bait boat came out and did a small wrap before sunrise and went back in. Birds and dolphin and 3 Minke whales were working the school over.

Good luck finding the squirts tomorrow

add a green glow stick to the top of the jig. they'll hit it.

also, The Domes is still producing but I'd bet my Paycheck Salt Creek is going to explode this weekend

No thanks, that isn't much unless you got a promotion to O-3.
