Squid shocker

[Deep Sea john]

fishing johnsons ( near frenchies) saturday night i got a small but whiting type bite thought not another small whiting.
when i landed it pennel rig fouled it a squid about one and a half pounds first ever on this
coast in 45 years bright red and coverd me in ink. i have had octopus but not squid
has anybody seen any lately must be the warm weather this winter

Any pics mate

Ive had them on spinners in the summer but never landed one on bait. One that size would make very nice eating!

Was it a cuttle fish very much like a squid they start to move closer in shore in spring to spawn.

Found one washed up but still alive on Bamburgh beach last December. I returned it safely to my freezer.

I have had great success recently fishing with squid
I wondered why, as I always thought squid was from deep cold waters well away from the North Sea, & wouldn't be too much on inshore fishes diet!!
