    Squid

    The annual squid run, which I NEVER miss, kicked off in Hyannis MA this weekend. Saturday's trip was 1/2 Tog and 1/2 Squid, and neither species was all that cooperative. Despite a very strange moon tide and slow pickings, we managed a limit of very large Tog all 6-9 pounds. The afternoon squid bite was very spotty, although we worked, the squid were just not there in very large numbers.

    Sunday was much the same, if not worse in the morning. We searched all over the place, and were only able to find a few small pods of squid. The drifts were quick, and only a handful of squid would come up on each pass. By noon, we were almost ready to give up, when vigilence paid off and we were able to find a bottom that hadnt been touched with a good concentration of squid, and nobody around. We anchored up and had excellent, non stop bites from 12:30 on, and I stayed out late till 4:30 for the guys so they could cash in on the late bite.

    Hopefully this is a sign of a better squid run this year than past few seasons.

    The next bite on a jig.
    Pretty work Dom. Those colors remind me of the Potroast jig.

    Awesome! Thanks for posting up, Dom. Squid on the south shore always marks the season kick-off for me.

    Must be what's got all those hungry blue fish in BB earlier than normal as well.

    Tossed in seasoned flour with a bit of cornmeal(Dont forget to add the tentacles, best part), flash fried, then pan tossed with banana pepper rings, fresh chopped garlic, a bit of lemon, and butter. Little bit of chipolte aioli on the side, an ice cold corona to wash it down...

    i've been talking with some of the draggers and they said it's slim pickins out there right now, i've been patiently waiting for it to blow wide open so i can get my foot in the door and unload some of their catch but i guess everythings early except the squid
