6 Jan 2013 Humbolt Squid trip - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Old Man in the Sea · 01-06-2013, 02:04 PM

I want to go squid fishing Monday on Seaforth if there is somebody esle going- I used one of the giant glow squid jigs about 1 foot long...Any body else in???
Best to go on a boat to have them clean them and deal with the mess...they clean and peal skin off...They are very good eating - you cut the white filet into 2X2 squares and pound it with a tenderizing mallet dip into batter and deep fry til golden brown dip in tartar or cocktail sauce...wear water proof pants and jacket they spray alot of ink and it is a really fun trip if they are biting like Saturday night....!

Biting my tongue. Looks like too much clean up for my OCD.

That picture is great!!!

Well I went out and did the deed! It was fun, Had one big one pull off some drag and work me over, but came off about 3/4 of the way up. Besides that it felt like pulling up hoopnets full of lobster in them, best way to describe it. Only with a rod vs. your hands. I would recommend it though at least once. Like I said, had one screamer which was pretty cool. They were not monster, but still fun.

When I owned my boat I considered going out for them but as soon as I started reading stories about private boaters spending 3 hours plus just cleaning the gel coat on their boats I said HELL NO, not me. Personally, I don't think they're worth the time and effort one has to put in to get them prepared, I rather spend my day catching lizard fish.
