Puget Sound Squid conditions
jamesfromseattle:
The FB groups have become a little less helpful, recently. Last year there was ridiculous crowding on some docks, which the FB groups took some blame for, and now there are some people that just post intentionally incorrect information.
At least in the Seattle area it has been slow, overall, this year. Not nearly as consistent as usual. In most years there are good nights and ok nights. This year there have been some occasional good nights, but also some dead slow nights. Usually it is not very good on the east side of the sound when the rivers are high, and the rivers have been high all fall. Not sure if that's the reason it has been slow.
I was out on Saturday night in downtown Seattle, and it was extremely slow. One squid for me in two hours, even with a huge spread of lights.
@chiwawadan, are you in a boat or hitting a dock? If you're coming from far away, I'd try to time it for a dry spell.

Swung by Dash Point yesterday afternoon at hi slack. Saw 6 or 8 boats on the north side jigging.

NWFishing reports has some reports on Squid.

The squid seem late this year, maybe due to all the fresh water in the sound. :dunno:
But it was pretty good at the pier last week, and was good in the float tube today. :fishin:

I'll be hitting one of the docks/piers. I've always gone in the south sound, but I've heard farther north tends to perform better. Appreciate all the advice on here so far. I'll be making a trip sometime soon. Long way to drive for one squid in 2 hours! But that's fishing.
