The report from first mates Greg and Chris K was that the squid fishing was highly variable last night from angler to angler which is frequently par for the course when there is such an enthusiastic turnout. There were bookend flurries of good squid fishing all around the boat but for the most part, for most of the night in between, the better scores were made by those with more experience. Catches varied from a half dozen pieces to a couple dozen pieces for many but some of the sharpies filled upwards to three quarters of a five gallon pail or perhaps even a bit more. The size on the tubes continued to be frequently behemoth with tube sizes alone often exceeding 15 to 17 inches!! Overall it could be stated the fishing was improved over Saturday Night’s fishing but not quite up to the standards set this past Wednesday through Friday Nights. Squid fishing will continue as long as the interest and fishing hold with the next trip set for this coming Wednesday Night aboard the Lady Frances with Capt. Ray setting sail at 7pm.
