Didn't do horrible for my first time squidding but far from good. Got to Des Moines pier at about 7 and fished till 9:30. in that time only 2 schools came through. Between the 2 schools only got 3 squid but for first timers i was happy with that. Cooked it as soon as we got home and was AMAZING. SOOOOOOOO much better fresh than store-bought. Be careful on cooking time though for they turn chewy being overcooked.
