Squid jigging

[@alexeinarson7799]

well I was curious about what squid jigging was form the perspective of someone who has grown up in the states because my father was raised on songs of it but now i know thanks.

Do this everyday and all fish stocks reduce.............professional fisherman ruin it for the everyday fisherman.

[@nickamero2479]

What an awesome setup! I’m fishing out of the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. Would love to know where you got your setup or how to build one!

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

Hi Nick, I'm going to make a new video regarding the steps on how to make one, its not difficult at all. But I do have a guy here where i live who can make one for you, but i would assume it would be expensive to ship by mail. Thanks for watching

@@abduldenn6049 hahaha I know man, it's shameful, we got our snow real early this year which has ruined my plans of getting a video put together but it's not over yet! I may still get one put together before spring!

[@hunt4fish]

Is this recent, got to get me some. Used to get lots here in Central few years back but haven't seen any around lately., they look like nice big ones too!....keep her comin....cheers

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

We are getting a few, but very unpredictable, some days there a few than maybe gone for 4-5 days

[@concordky9920]

Could you tell me your set up here please

[@MrCrabbing]

That is seriously impressive, how long is your squid season do they only stay around a short while do you ever use lights to attract them.

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

Hi MrCrabbing, squids are very uncertain here, some years they are millions, then other years only a few, and some years not even one squid show up. On a good year, squids can arrive sometime mid july and stay around until late Oct. Generally, our buyers quit buying before the squid leaves. The buyer's main use for squid here is for crab bait. In the past, there has been a market for squid as human consumption, (and so should it be they are great!!)

[@MrCrabbing]

@@HOTRhuntinontherock we get good money for squid here but haven't seen much of it for a few years now, It's normally caught in a trawl here although jigging is becoming more popular.

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

@@MrCrabbing what price do you get per lbs/kilograms?

[@MrCrabbing]

@@HOTRhuntinontherock £4 to £5 per kilo

[@i1bike]

​@@HOTRhuntinontherock Here in croatia, 1kg of squid reached 29 euros per 1kg, 3 years ago it was 26 euros. Octopus is 20 euros now, cuttlefish 22 euros. But 10 years ago when i was fishing, squids were 17 euros, octopus was 6 euros and cuttlefish was 10 euros. I cant believe its so cheap there, and its same atlantic red/white squid, most soft squid. Here, restaurants spend all squids in the middle of summer season and they buy imported squids from patagonia or india, they are 15 euros per kilo. Why cant someone from there make a distribution center here in central south europe, we would buy your squids for twice the price and its still a steal

[@squishygirl5696]

My sunny bhy you got some squid

[@AmphibianBoss]

Good work guys!

[@JRafaelG]

How do they fall off so easily from the jigs?

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

The jigs are barbless and when the hooks turn sideways or upside down the squid fall off.Thanks for watching

[@Bluetoothedshark]

Money money money!

[@LifeinNewHampshire]

Well that's odd lol

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

Odd? Can you explain?

[@saidmohammed591]

Can u tell us how you set all this in a video

[@HOTRhuntinontherock]

i think later this spring i will make a video of how this is made but from watching this video, it should be pretty straight forward, i have 3 lines with 20-30 jiggs on each line, with weights at the bottom, and than the same thing on the other side of the boat. When the lines on one side of the boat is going down, the other lines on the other side of the boat is coming up. Its a very easy setup to make. The jiggs i use and rings on the top and bottom to connect the lines to.
