squid is best cooked fast or for hours! I love it and I hope the run will be here by the end of April, I get at least 100 pounds for bait and another 50 to 75 to eat, they all are pretty nice size when the spring run happens!
Last year I missed them and had to by my bait.

Thats awesome fatty...I bet catching em is alot of fun. I catch them in my trawl, but never seen any caught like that and they only get that big in the gulf or deeper water round here.

Franco, i'm new at this, but this is what i been doing. we go down to the marina and toss the small squid jigs under the lights, if they are there, they will charge out and attack the jig, but they are fast. you are fishing with light trout rods and you will feel a little resistance. give it a sharp tug and keep pulling. if you don't keep the pressure on, they will get off(no barbs on the jigs). i hear that once the spanish move in, they will be gone or scarce. if you go to the tackle shop, get a good variety of jigs, they are very picky at times. also get the smallest you can get.
