It is told that presence of squid off La Jolla is not an invasion but yearly cycle. Just like last winter market-size squid have shown up in big numbers as close as three miles from La Jolla. And now those commercial light boats are going to illuminate the night skyline off the beach as they fish for the tasty calamari.
According to the information available the commercial squid boats landed 100 tons of squid last night and more boats are expected tonight, with vessels coming from San Pedro and Oxnard to load up on the easy catches. Meanwhile, kayak and inshore boat fishermen who have had the stuff to themselves will now be sharing it. There’s been a very stealthy run on White Sea bass and home-guard yellowtail in recent days, with anglers catching squid and using it for bait.
It is found that even a commercial passenger sport boat also made squid bait in that area Thursday night. Experts believe that nothing like a showing of squid to electrify both the sport and commercial fishing industries like what has seen last week off La Jolla.
