With only 1 hour of sleep my buddy text me that the squid count real high! and from reading other article about them I was itching to go to try and catch my first humboldt squid. We got to davey's locker and people were lining up paid for our tickets hop on the boat and we were on our way. The ride wasn't to long stop at our first location if I remember correctly 1 or 2 came up, I brought one up also. Then Capt said were moving to a newer location about 10 min away from our first spot, got there everyone started dropping there lines in, about close to a min? everyone hooked up, it was a very very good experience for me, I didn't do so bad my self I think I battle about 16 or 7 squid ( lost those 6 or 7 because of the other anglers who some what do not like to follow there line and likes to ignore the deck hands guiding them..) landed 10, gave 6 away, because I heard we have to get them clean! and I was hoping to bring some whole squid for my Chinese friends in East LA. All in all it was a blast when it was wide open, those who are planning on going, and trying this out for the first time, be prepare to get wet, tired, back aching and COLD!
Oh and a little tip, if you have one of those 6 inch squid jigs with no weigh on it, do not tie a line on the bottom of it because the squid will just bite the weigh off, and I learn from another angler on that boat just put a snap swivel and just hook the weigh and jig together on the bottom of the jig.
Oh and THANKS TO THE ANGLERS WHO HOOKED IT UP WITH WEIGHTS AND SWIVEL! I WAS WILLING TO GIVE YOU GUYS MONEY JUST FOR A WEIGHT AND SWIVEL NO JOKE! NO JOKE!!!!!
And thanks to the deck hands did a good job at gaffing! Esp the one that gaff the squid who TRIED TO GET AWAY! AND GETTING MY BUDDIES LURE BACK!
