Squid Fishing - Puget Sound

Though I wouldn't say that the squid fishing has been exactly hot and heavy there has at least been some fairly good reports coming out of various area of Puget Sound. The Edmond's pier has been with out a doubt the poorest of all the reports that we have been getting in. Most everyone that I have spoke with has been averaging perhaps just a squid an hour. There has been an odd day when a good school has shown up with some really good squidding occurring for a short time just to be quelled when the seals show up to disperse the schools and turn things off. The Seattle waterfront has been much more consistent though many of the squid being caught are smaller immature specimens of around 3 inches. The Seacrest pier was quit good for one of the customers the other night, being able to get his 10 pound limit in fairly short order. One of the customers stopped by this afternoon to procure some additional jigs and mentioned that he and his grandson fished the Bremerton waterfront the other day and had around 15 pounds with very little effort. The squid he caught were the larger 10 inch adults.



We should see at least a couple more weeks of squidding before we see the annual decline when they die after spawning.



We have lots of squid jigs and components on hand.
