It may not be general knowledge but the main by catch of commercial squid fishing is whiting, obviously inshore, the squid may follow the whiting shoals into shallow water to hunt. Has anyone fished for Squid with lures other than Egi's/Jigs? It still amazes me when you speak to anglers who mention getting plagued by squid attacking their baits at night, and they dont seem to target them, when they know they are there. Maybe not squid but cuttle, the cuttlefish is mainly an ambush predator, so I dont imagine they will chase prey in open columns of water. Twitching and pausing lures hard on the bottom maybe the preferred method?
Never caught one myself or even been out to target them individually, I would imagine the hookup ratio could be fairly low, depending on the lure used of course.
