Title: Squid Fishing
Post by: Peeps07 on July 20, 2017, 11:04:58 AM: Hello Everyone,

This is my first post. I am looking to see what kind of squid fishing results people have gotten around the puget sound. Specifically in the Bellingham area. I would love to give it a try but am in need of some guidance. I've ready pretty much everything on the interwebs about how its done, just need some input on when and where.

Never heard of such a thing, any more tips? I have seen them scuba diving, but it is on or near a huge egg cluster and I wouldn't have the first clue on where to go with a boat to try to catch one.

Caught 6 off the Pier last night.
