Squid in the ocean?

Squid will show up anywhere in the water column. Most of the time they will be at the very bottom. Notice one photo shows a bait ball towards the top and a school of squid at the bottom. These photo were from this last Autumn. Puget Sound market squid reproduce/deposit eggs during this time period. From my casual observations of the ocean market squid eggs, it seems they reproduce during the Summer months.

Both bait and squid, notice the difference in density:



Caught a lot of these at the top -- ~10ft:
