Welcome back to my blog! After staying out west for a while, spent some time in TX, MS, Red Top Mountain State Park on Lake Allatoona north of Atlanta, Savannah and am now in Panama City Beach, FL; my good friends Capt Pete and Tish Wodraska live here, when they are not spending time in their beautiful NC mountain cabin; Pete and I (mostly Pete, I must honestly confess) have caught about 250 squid (calamari) over the last three nights; we caught 114 last night in only about an hour; Pete is good cook and he cooked up squid appetizers, squid linguine and fried squid --- all very delicious! The squid are about 4-6
inches long, perfect size for great eating;
we will probably go after some more
before they head out to deeper water
;
;you use a jig specifically designed for
snatching these squid; they come in
schools and will literally attack the jig;
it does take some time to prepare them for cooking, but it is definitely worth it, particularly when Pete does most of the cleaning! BEWARE! If you want to try this, wear clothes you do not care much about; you are going to get shot with jet black squid ink and they can "spit" a long way! Keep in touch and let me know what is happening in places where I am not; Spring break has just begun here in PCB; the people and traffic are increasing daily; you have to pick and choose where you want to go and when you want to go there
Not as big as it looks, but probably close to 6 inches
