Squidding - Around Puget Sound

Generally by now we have seen a radical decline in the squidding here in Puget Sound as the squid are into their spawn and once spawning they die! However, for some reason the spawn seems to be quite late this season and we are still getting reports of at least some fair squid fishing around the sound.

Edmonds- Though not exactly "Red" hot we are hearing of at least some squid being caught. Some nights are defiantly better than others.

Seattle Waterfront - Still turning out "Fair" numbers of squid, limits however are not generally the rule and just like Edmonds some evenings are better than others.

Bremerton, Brownsville, Watermans etc. - This side of the Sound is definitely the better producing area. We have had "Great" reports coming from these areas and have been the best producer in this winters squid fishery.

Who knows how long the fisheries will continue, but at least for the time being we are still seeing squid being caught.
