Default Squid are in

vic told me about catching squid at the marina last week &
i am addicted. they have been running small, about the size of the smallest ones in the pic, but today we got some larger ones. i will freeze the small ones for bait and grill or fry the larger ones

it's not the fight, it's getting the hook in them. they approach the jig very cautiously and grab it for a split second, that's when you pull the jig. for every one i caught, i lost 4 or 5. it's like catching cigar minnows on a sabiki rig. sometimes thats more fun than catching the fish.......

these are what the jigs look like, no barbs on the hooks

well, I tried to saute' the squid with onions, bell pepper, garlic, olive oil, & some spices. it is much better fried. they really didn't have a bad taste, just no real taste at all. it was like pasta that has been cooked way to long.

sea monkey: it its the panama city marina, florida.....

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.
