Sat Oct 11 – Squid Fishing
Capt Carl reports that we went squid fishing Friday night and Saturday night and we saw similar results… both nights started off very good and stayed good until the bluefish found us. Then, the rest of the night was a pick. Slow for some people, but steady for others. It looks like our next Squid fishing trip will be Friday night after the storm clears out. Hopefully the bad weather chases out the bluefish!
