Squidding with an addict -

Monterey Bay was totally alive yesterday! Hundreds of Risso dolphins, swimming all around me, underneath my kayak. I saw a baby Risso spy hopping, maybe she was checking me out? I saw a massive humpback whale lunge feeding squid right on the surface, right in front of me. I caught close to 80 (?) squid, 5 rockfish, and I grabbed a floating chunk of kelp for my compost pile. I spent over 7 hours on my kayak, it was one of those truly amazing days on the water. One I wont forget for a long time. On top of the weather and animals showing up, I met Moo Moo in the parking lot too! We have briefly talked a couple times in the past, so getting to hang out near him was pretty cool, for me at least, lol. Whenever I couldn't find the schools of squid, all I had to do was find Moo, and he was probably on them. Thanks for letting me mooch off you Moo Moo!

I think I am trying it all over again, Monday, Memorial Day

Wow!  I've yet to experience catching that many squid.  Thanks for the vid!

Thanks for the report 

Thanks for the report and video Recon. Glad to know the squids are back.

Those dolphin were extremely close!

That's awesome....  I was surrounded by the Risso's also about a month ago, it was surreal. Crazy how many of them travel together.

MMO's car in the parking lot might be a more reliable indicator of squid in an area than dolphins or bait 

Wonder how many squids did he caught this time? 

Wow congrats!  Thanks for the report, much appreciated 🤙.

Cool beans!

Cool video !

Great job. You caught way more squid then I did. It was so spotty near the can so I went past the lover's point to find a more consistent bite but none were there.

Calamari and some good company with those dolphins.. thanks for the post
