The thin, weighted head design gives the jig an excellent darting motion attracting your target.

There isn’t anything like jigging for squid! It’s one of our favorite early spring fisheries on Cape Cod. Around mid-May when the waters start to warm up, you’ll find schools of Atlantic Squid moving into the waters off of places like Hyannis Harbor. It doesn’t take long for the word to get out that the squid has arrived. Then you’ll find fishermen out on the water pulling up lines of fresh squid.

The boats and the fishermen get filthy. The saying is that if you’re not covered in ink, you’re not squid fishing!

How to fish

Squid fishing or jigging is pretty easy. Set up your squid fishing lures or jigs on a high-low rig with a lightweight weight at the bottom. We usually use light-duty tackle.  The reel is set up with a 15 to 20 lb. braided line with a 20 lb. fluorocarbon leader tied into a high-low rig. You can use the same color jigs or mix them up to see if one color outperforms another. We do the same thing with the size of the jigs. After a while, you’ll find which color or combination works best for you.

You can cast your high-low rig out and let it sink to the bottom with a slow retrieve. Another method is to let the rig sink to the bottom beside the boat. Jig it slowly up and down. Raising and lowering your rod will give the jig head a natural swimming motion.

When you feel some weight on the end of your line, then you’re on! Retrieve the squid to the side of the boat and let it squirt as much of its ink as you can safely without losing your catch. Then swing the squid inside the boat. You’ll likely get inked more than once so dress in old clothes. Rinsing the boat down occasionally will make cleaning up at the end of the trip a little easier.
