Has anyone caught squid in Ireland?

I grew up in Australia and used to catch loads, but I have been unable to confirm if they are even present in Irish waters, let alone if they can be caught

Can anyone help?

Thanks Barry

Wexford is where I will most likely be chasing them - what time of year did you catch them?
(I won't ask for your secret spots!)

Go out and find out when and where. It'll be useful information for budding Irish Eging men.

It was late Summer/ Early Autum when we encountered them. Kilmore was the location.

Aggressive buggers !

Best of luck.

Hmmm interesting, I had often wondered if we got squid or cuttlefish over here and if they were target able. They look like fun. :-D

I'm down in Clare this weekend and In Wexford next weekend so I'll try both times and see what I can find (if I can distract myself from the pursuit of bass)

That will be a tough thing to avoid doing when your in Wexford....Its about time the bass started to play ball...
