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.
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:

 Did you both miss post #2? :chuckle:

Well I have been fishing on the Des Moines pier this year and it has been slow for me this year. In the last 3 weeks I have not seen anything like last year fishing at the same time. I think the seals are messing up the squid fishing at this pier. I have had the seals take the squid off my jig as i bring it in and watched the seals blow out the schools of squid that come into the dock. Tonight was very slow. I think fishing out of a boat best. I have not fished any other place so maybe somebody else can report how good fishing is north or south of Des Moines.

Slow.  One decent day last week.  Not much this week.
Squid have just started showing up full of eggs, so I’m still hoping more will show up.  :tup:

Yes the eggs are just starting so i hope that fishing will pick up soon. :tup: The seals at Des Moines are making fishing tough but people are still getting some. I hope in the next couple of weeks fishing gets better.

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.

My experience usually seems to be "You should have been here yesterday."  :chuckle: It does seem pretty hit or miss in a random way.
