I am intrigued and interested in joining you guys on Thurs or Fri either works for me.  What do I need to bring for gear?  Also what do you do with Squid?

Thanks I took a look at the site sound like fun I am thinking I should be able to make it

Any chance you guys would be up for a Thursday night get together

I've got some stuff going on Friday night too. Is everyone ok w/ Thursday?

Damn, had hoped to join you in a non fishing capacity friday evening.. oh well mebbe next time..

Thursday sounds great as of right now I will be able to make it

I've got an early meeting Friday morning... I'm out.   Good luck guys.

Ballet Thursday night.  Even if you just get a few folks go for it.  When it's on it is a hoot - even weird in a good way.

Squid jigs have eyelets on the top AND bottom.  You can string jigs together with a couple feet of leader and fish 2 at a time.  You may also want to put a small light stick in between or under the jigs.  If you are using a single jig, casting far like a buzz bomb may be the way to go, but often with simple or more complex terminal gear, simply swinging your gear underhand off the pier will work just as well.  Hopefully the lights will draw the squiddies to you.  

MA 12 closed for squid.  All other MAs: No min. size. Daily limit 5 qts. or 10 lbs., plus up to 5 HUMBOLDT SQUID. Legal gear is a forage fish jig, a maximum of 4 squid lures, forage fish dip net, or a hand dip net. Each harvester must have a separate container.

You're a lucky stiff with LOTS of good eats if you haul in a Humboldt!

On page 2, in case you missed it:

... just remember what demonic said about getting inked, pretty much will happen!  You can kind of figure them out though.  Once you get them up to the surface, don't pull them in too quickly.  Let them sit just off the surface for a sec and let them squirt once or twice, then bring 'em in.

I'm in for Thursday night. Matt

Ok. I'm bringing my squidding gear to work today, so I hope this happens!

I'll check back in here for details later, but hope it comes together for 7 pm by the Victoria Clipper terminal tonight! (Thursday)

I'll probably be late but I'll be there.

Can't do this evening unfortunately.  Let me know the next time you guys go squidding.  Sounds like a great time.

Let me know when you'll be there. I will just work til then. I have no spotlight so no sense potentially standing around in the dark!

I discovered the NWKA site a week or two ago and have been wishing I had the set up to join some of the folks reporting on Hobuck trips lately.

This evening seems like it will be a good chance to meet some of you. I'll try and be there.

I'll dig in my gear for squidding stuff... sure I must have something from a few years back.

I will be there I will be leaving Tacoma around 7 so I will be there between 730-8

I'm wandering around pier 68-70 and see no NWKAs or power plugs. Let ms know if you're here or know where to go! 206-919-5624
