A few friends and i decided that twilight fishing was something we wanted to try, plus there has been the outrageous reports of giant squid around the Newport Beach Area.

We head out at 8:30 pm, arrive at about 9:45-10:00pm, just in time because fishing got good at about 10:24.

the fish finder looked like it had an animated circus running around the screen!

We pulled up the first squid and were freaked out, because no one knew what to expect, then it became fun.

We got about 12 of them in only in a 1 hour period. That was a work out.

each weighing anywhere from 15-20+ #'s. It was a fun night! We shall return.

Here some pics to share: didnt bring my camera, so i had to take pics after the trip::

Could you post the exact location where you got these giant squid? They looks great. I'll give it a try.

How many miles south of NPH were you fishing?

I want to take my friends out this weekend and see if I can snag one.

i was catching the squid at about 50' depth, then later they became more comfortable and i was getting bites as soon as my line went 10' down.

according to both Duc's and my experience out there last night, seems the squid are biting everywhere!

From the Pier all the way south of Newport harbor.
