Squid

I realise that you can catch squid almost anywhere at any time , however can anyone tell me if there is a prefered time of tide and moon phase that seems to produce greater numbers than usual?

not really

but right now (autumn) is a gun time for squid. I've cught them morning, night, middle of the day - it doesn't seem to matter really. Likewise I've never worried about tide or moon phases either.

 

I'll be in the Sound in about 2 hours chasing them - I'll let you know how I go. Laughing

I have gone squidding 3

I have gone squidding 3 times a week for the past two weeks and got squid on every night, but jack shit during the afternoon (landbased) and then nothing in the early hours of the morning

Last night i saw one that i estimate was around 50-55cm in 1m of water at my spot, he looked at the jig but didnt take it :(
