How to FIND a live squid - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Follow the sea lions. Squid runs are the only time I'm happy to have the dogs around (other than foggy mornings when I get that "sharky" feeling). You should see squid on the meter as a diffuse cloud, often on the bottom. Sat they were everywhere. Candy catcher jigs work much better than a straight squid jig, but when they are thick you can get em on anything, including sabikis.

Hey Gary, on Monday the squirts were hanging around 50' down in a few spots. I was getting them one or two at a time, but it took a while to find them.

what he said, they appear blue clouds on my Color FF... not an intense dark red ball... I bring a dive light, if dark, and make sure I recharge the candy catchers every so often...
