Where are the winter squid?
« on: February 21, 2026, 09:23:53 PM »
Squid noob here. I live in Kitsap county, fished the summer squid in Bremerton but I've been told the squid move around seasonally. Any pointers ?

It’s winding down.
Still a few from Redondo and south.
Good luck.  :tup:

Bring a battery powered light and spare batteries with stand or a bungee set up to tie to side of dock and check out Brownsville... Or if you have the converter plug, and an extension cord they got power hook ups... Best spot being last table at the life ring before ramp to next dock...  Same at Illahee dock... Not the state park one... The other one by the residential housing with very limited parking... Waterman Pier was difficult for me cause I didn't have *censored* lights like this other guy... It's so high off the water so a very high wattage light is necessary... But I was rather successful when he was there... Mediocre with mine... I hung mine from the pier with some rope... Not Ideal... But sure picked the pace up... Seen a few people loose lights because they couldn't tie knots well... Bremeton Marina was amazing as well but I had a friend that lived there keyed access, residents and invited guests only... I really preferred living in Kitsap compared to Puyallup... So much more to do locally year round... Even the blacktail hunting was way better closer to home imo... 
I love you... I really do...

I've always wanted to go get some squid.  Has anyone ever tried in Willipa, Grays Harbor, Hood Canal, or down the Oregon coast?  The thought of going to the Seattle/Tacoma region has always been the no-go for us.

Thank you guys for the advice. @Kingofthemountain83 it seems like you guys got the elk down there and we have the blacktail up here. If you happen to be an bow hunter, shoot me a pm.

 Welcome... Those elk are Yakima county elk...  :chuckle:   I've only gotten a two west side bulls...  I do have a bow set up but it's ancient... I tried to become proficient with it in the 2010's, but anything outside outside of 7 yards was safe... I just couldn't hack it... The bow was a yard sale buy, an Eagle Python and never set up for my draw ect... Just figured I could make it work by moving some pins... Nope... I eventually lost interest after skinning my arm a couple times... I was in my early 20's... I've got a sick Ten Point cross bow if I can cheat my in to the archery thing?  :chuckle:  Thing is a tack driver!
I love you... I really do...
