Squid Fishn' anyone? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I was on the Clemente on that 1/5 trip. We got into them below San Mateo Point at the bottom of San Clemente... outside of Trestles. They were 5-10# averaging 8#. My son and I each got 20. Except for one he kept the others were stomped and released to feed the crabs. Lots of fun! They charge $3 to clean one and you had to have anything you kept cleaned on board... the landing doesn't want ink dripped on the dock, sidewalks and parking lots. The 7 oz 3-prong glow in the dark squid jigs are perfect. They worked better than the 20" mondo models. We used 40# and 50# line but 30# would've been fine too. Just get out and kill all you can while they're around. Dana is charging $25 and there's no jackpot available. They're locusts of sea and need to be gotten rid of. BTW, they actually tasted pretty good fried up!

I know you're up north but Dana Landing in MB has BOGO on the squid jigs. Like them on Facebook to see the special. Just FYI.

I went out last night, and not one person caught a squid down in San Diego on the big jigs. All of our squid being caught were on the medium jigs

Maybe I'll give it a try this evening, DP most likely.

510 giant squid last night outta DP. Cant wait! Heh heh! I saw some squid pictures this morning and they are indeed the good ones. Extra processing is not required on these, other than removing the membranes... just fryem up, the best calamari!

Hey Tony,

Can't go with you, taking my grandma to the airport and later washing my cat.

If that stuff is really good and you catch a bunch of it bring it to our camping trip in two weeks.
