I've heard of grunion runs, but has anybody ever heard of squid runs? started out fishing at Balboa Pier near sunset. Started off with a carolina rig + gulp sandworms.. I was noticing that I kept getting hits, but nothing was taking it whole.. it also didn't feel like a fish, it felt like a crab at first, kept holding on, then coming off.
It wasn't until night came that everybody picked up on what was going on... the water below the pier turned neon blue with shooting darts/squids all over the place.. i've never seen anything quite like it.. truly amazing, I didn't believe what I saw until it was confirmed.

By then everybody was landing them left and right.. I was kicking myself in the head for only bringing one fishing pole that day with 8# test.. I was the only one not catching them until it hit me.. I've got waders in my car.. why break my back yanking these suckers over the pier when I can just scoop them up off the beach... they were literally beaching themselves all along the coast. I was never a big fan of calamari, but giant squid? had to take a couple home.
