I went squid jigging with my buddy Jordan Saturday night. We were there from about 5-7:30 pm. The dock was packed! We had to kind of jig off to the side, but I got to test a new light. I recently purchased a 1,200 lumen bike light (for walking at night, as well as squidding and clamming) and boy is it bright! Jordan and I put the light in an empty zip tie container and hung it over the dock on a rope about five feet above the water. It was was pretty darn effective. No one got any squid until 6 pm, when Jordan and I pulled a couple up. A few squid were caught by others, then nothing again for an hour. Then right around 7:00 the squidding was excellent. Everyone on the dock was hauling them in-- often with doubles. I caught about 10 squid in 10 minutes. The squidding tappered off a bit, but was still productive after that. Jordan and I had to leave because he was hosting a movie night, but I imagine the productivity continued after we left. I had a huge plate of squid for the Seahawks game, and froze some whole ones for halibut and ling bait!
