Squid in summer?

[james89]

Anyone think that squid is worth a go from the rocks in summer or is it more of a winter bait?

I've stayed away from squid but bought a box a few months back and stuck it in the freezer.

Cheers lads

Crab is the prime bait this time of year fishing the rock edges but that's not to say other baits won't work

Cheers. Got some crab just wondered if anyone had any luck with squid this time of year

squid is a killer bait at whitby tipped with blacks

Use the squid as a bait parcel bud... Stuff your crab etc into squid bind it with elastic to the hook stab a few times so juice flows through the slits. Quite messy but does work

I know it's a different theme,but squid caught loads n I mean loads of cod in the winter dwn here,norm it's worm or worm n squid cocktail but straight squid caught a lot of fish this winter both on the beach n the river(humber).
Recently there's been plenty of hounds to straight squid too and some very big ray's(well into doubles)but crab n squid cocktail also catches it's fair share.Squid is a very good bait imo,often underated but very sucessfull..

Thanks. I'll give it a try tomorrow and report back. I've got some crabs legs so I reckon they'll be alright stuffed onto a squid head

Squid & crab legs = SCRAB?

BTW where does CART get the name from, is it an acronym for something?

better to have it than not, i've caught a lot from squid in the summer. Good bass bait too.

As mentioned previous, use ya squid as a parcel and stuff it full of blacks/crab/mussel/ whatever !
