Squidding In New England States

[JANZ]

Got there at 8:45pm traffic on Pike was all backed up in western mass, go figure.  Not to

crowded and just about everyone was fishing the mid point on the pier.  Fished the right hand side

at the end.  A little slow to start but as the night wore on the catching picked up.  Still a mix of small

medium and large but seemed there were a lot more bigger squid than last week.  Had a first last

night in that I landed 2 doubles.  Had to catch over a 100 and actually helped others fill their pails.

It was sorta funny because I didn't ask if anyone wanted them I just walked over and unhooked

them over their pail, they thought I was old and f'd up (confused), but after about 20 squid they

realized I was knowingly doing that.  Still a bunch of nice folks there, Bao, who I have been calling

Bob (60% loss of hearing) showed up a little later with his friends and one of them caught a nice

keeper striped bass off the end of the pier, on a small fresh squid. 

All in all it was a great night out there again.  Weather was not a factor although on of crew was

complaining his hands were cold, I told him don't worry, once you get old you wont feel anything

anymore.

Gunslinger, wish we could have met last night.  I understand the late nights and need to rest.

Fished till 2am and got home a little after 4am.  Now to go clean the critters that are burried in ice.
