I've caught squid during a pretty strong current, but also during slack time. Probably more during slack. I always find the squid right on the bottom (They are eating shrimp), and where I'm fishing usually at edmonds, the water is about 45 feet deep at high tide. So they do come to shallows to feed. If you have a boat you can fish for them during the day around 100 ft depth.
All that said, the squid don't seem to go up north... They enter the Puget sound through admiralty inlet and work their way south. Farthest north people are fishing for them is edmonds. I heard of some people trying at Mukilteo but not catching anything.
Jigging is up and down motion. Best way to figure out how, is to come to one of the piers down here and watch. The squid in Washington need a specific kind of jig as well, it's smaller than normal jigs you find at Walmart
