We stopped at Fort Getty. The squid are there, not thick yet, but one guy had a couple dozen. Big ones. We didn't stay to fish tho.
Stopped at Fort Weatherhill, nobody squidding there, just a few guys fishing for god knows what LOL. Nothing to show.
Went to GI Bridge.
The squid are there, and there are some BIG ones
Also lots of schools of tiny ones.
Trying to get them to eat was another story. My friend Mike managed 4 all nite, me 0. They would go RIGHT BY your jig to grab the little tiny baitfish. They were very very wary of jigs......I swear if we had some little sabiki rigs we'd have slammed 'em!
LOTS of bait there, shrimp, minnows, shoestring eels, sandworms, etc. Had a small blue running around too which didn't help us. That kept the squid very skittish, and they would come up from deep REAL quick, snatch a very small baitfish and screw LOL.
Saw more on the incoming tide than the outgoing.
The guys at Fort Getty said there the outgoing was best for them.
Good to get out and get a feel for the action anyway!
Seemed most on the bridge didn't do well. Lanterns came and went, and the place was almost empty when we finally left at 1:30.
BUT....they are THERE! It should only get better!
