Starting a new thread for this year.   And an open question to anyone interested.
Â
Has anyone tried fishing for squid from the beach? I was thinking of using a surf rod, have a 4 or 5 foot leader with a 2oz or 3oz bank sinker on the bottom, and 2 floating squid jigs above on dropper loops. Fish from a beach on the Northern side of Buzzards bay in line with the Goat Island bridge in RI. Only East a bit. Say off of Fairhaven or Mattapoisett. Heck, even the west end of the canal. Cast out as far as you can, and let the bank sinker hit bottom. Hold your rod tip high keeping the squid jigs off the bottom and out of the weeds. Then just bounce walk it back to shore.  You could do this off the beaches in Falmouth and Hyannis when the squid boats are cruising off the shore also. It might work, I am definitely going to try it this year.Â
Â
I hope everyone had a Happy New Year!
