· #17 Posted August 12, 2019 · Report post It's not worth it to specifically target them, but it makes sense to have a squid jig in the bag just in case you stumble into them Scored a few great dinners like that 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

· #20 Posted August 20, 2019 · Report post Anyone else think of jigging for cod & pollack w/ a diamond jig, using the reel instead of the rod to jig when you read squidding? JD 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

· #22 Posted August 21, 2019 · Report post I think I'll wait til the water temp drops to the mid 60s and try under the inlet bridges with an underwater LED light. Maybe late Oct/Nov? 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe late Oct/Nov? That would be a good time. At least, that is when squid start showing up in large numbers around Long Island marinas. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be up in NJ for a VA appointment first week in November. I figure I'll take a look on the Jersey side. If I don't see anything. I'll drive up to L.I. and check out the North Shore, I hear currents can be a little too fast in the south shore. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #25 Posted August 21, 2019 · Report post I think that's when they start mating. They come to docks and piers to lay eggs on posts. You will see, almost on every local pier, lots of lights and generators. Few years ago, Post had an article about Queens residents taking a train to and back from Greenport and whole train would smell like squid. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
· #26 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) · Report post "EVERY" local pier!!? Sounds crowded. I woulda thought I could drive around and find a spot where no one is at, hang a 1500 lumen battery operated LED work light and drop my jigs.

· #27 Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) · Report post I see their getting some squid action now in RI with water temps at 59F. Have yet to read of any reports for NY/LI. CORRECTION: Squid are in NY/LI, but reports are the fishing is slow. Edited October 30, 2019 by BillHoo 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But last year a few buddy's caught too. Your window on the rocks is short though. They only hang around 3 nightd at most. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
