Went squid fishing for the first time tonight with some friends at the end of the north pier at Shilshole. Had a blast and the 4 of us all got our first squid! I personally got 10 and my friends all caught at least a few.

There were 4 other gentleman at the end of the pier with generator powered lights and one of them was even nice enough to bring his over and fish with us! Such a great first squid experience even though it was "slow"! For us it was amazing. Only fished from 9-11p before the rain and wind drove us back into our vehicles. Simply a great time! Next time we might wait for a day when it is not gusting 20 and pouring.

Anyone know if there is any good Squidding near the Mulkiteo Piers?

@ Ruffneck - Two biggest lessons I took away from the night - Light is huge! No light, no squid. Also lures are the next everything, which is nothing new to fishing but you are gonna have a hard time if you use the mass produced lures. This was demonstrated to me in my veteran career of one try. But seriously, before the guy brought his light over, we were fishing on the edge of their light "pool", which was still pretty bright I thought. We had 4 squid between us in our first 1 hourish, and left with about 2 dozen by the time we left. I was using the "Tiny Teaser Squid Jig" from Coleman's in Auburn and that worked really well. I had 3-4 other types of jigs, battery operated, etc and never got a bump. I also hear the Squid Candy Jigs work really well, but I have yet to be able to get my hands on one. Bitter sweet I guess. No idea about Mulkiteo but that's not far from Edmonds and I hear that is hot... Now off to build a light!
