O'neill forebay, no catch, Squid trip in monterey, TONS of catch

Well, 2 weekends ago I went out to the O'neill forebay with my yak towing my friend in a boating inner tube. Not suggested. About killed myself trying to get to the dam. Not a bite the whole day either. I talked to the boaters when it was all done and they said a few were caught between all the boats they saw.

But the better news is on President's day i made it out on a party boat from Monterey Bay for humbolt squid. Me and my uncle caught 5 monsters from the deep and stopped. We couldn't handle any more meat and plus them puppies will kill your arms and bruise the heck outta your hips when you have to hold the rod the last 100 ft of their ascent. The way they swim they give you a break and you feel good and then they pulse again slamming that line down like someone just dropped a weight tied to your line. I broke 2 reel mounts in the first 30 mins. The rest of the boat couldn't seem to get their fill of squid and 81 squid came aboard for about 10 people. It looked like a horror movie with all these giant squid aboard changing colors like a 1960's dance club floor.

Get out there and try squidding. My uncle has been fishing for 40 years and he says he has never fished a fishery exactly like that before and probably will never get to again as he lives on Long Island.
