Squidding - Puget Sound

With the weather the way it has been this week, we have not been getting a lot of squid reports in. The few individuals that have braved the elements have found a few squid, but nothing to write home about locally. The folks that have been fishing Des Moines and the Seattle waterfronts have been finding some squid, but for the most part have been very small 2 - 3 inch specimens and occasionally a few larger adults. Edmonds has been quite slow overall, with an odd evening where they have caught a fair number of larger 10 - 12 inch squid. The better nights have been 10 - 30 squid per angler. Make sure to bundle up as it has been bitter cold with saltwater freezing in the guides. I think I just might wait until it warms up a tad before I venture down to the docks.
