Hey  LabChamp
Are you up to teaching a Newbie on squid fishing?
I will meet you anywhere and I bring the hot coco and sandwiches'

You bet! Sounds like there are a few around and I'm always game to go. Let me know if you wanna get out one of these nights

Hang on, are we suggesting eating octopi from Commencement Bay?  That doesn't sound like a good idea to me. :bdid:

I'm sure it's not the best idea, but they don't live very long and you don't catch them very often, so hopefully that reduces risk somewhat.

But no, I wouldn't recommend making that part of your regular diet. But then again, people eat crazy amounts of crab that's caught within Seattle city limits, so... who knows.

You might not be able to keep an octopus that you have hooked, I think it is hand catch only (I could be wrong), it might be only illegal to spear them.  Be sure to check your regs.

R they not in the north sound?
Lokidog should know I guess
How up to Bellingham?

A neighbor pulled up an old abandonded crab trap this summer that was covered with squid egg cases, so they are here.  I have never heard of anyone fishing them though.  They may not concentrate here like they do farther south.  There are also no big lighted docks to fish from that I know of.

What about anchoring somewhere with the boat with lights? Does anyone do that?

The best jigs are not from WalMart but from the folks, usually Asian it seems, that make them.  For these squid, store bought jigs have too thick of points from my experience.  You want the ones with points that look like a sewing pin with an 'L' shape.  I think someone posted where they can be bought but don't remember the thread.  They are not super hard to make, some pins, wire, beads, lead, and solder.

Generally they are smaller the farther south you go.
