THE GEAR

Free Rods and Squid Jigs

Rods and squid jigs are available for use at no extra cost, so you can travel light and still be ready the moment the squids turn on.

THE BOAT

Plenty of Rail Space, No Crowding

The operator emphasizes a higher-quality, uncrowded experience with ample rail space so anglers can spread out and fish comfortably.

THE METHOD

Spread ’Em, Double Anchor

The trip runs the fall squid grounds using a spread-and-anchor approach—'We Spread’em You Get’em'—with a double-anchor setup to put anglers in prime squid water.

Who it's for

Who this trip suits—and who should reconsider.

1
Active FamiliesSuitable: the trip is marketed 'for all ages,' and limited angler capacity helps keep the outing manageable for family groups.
2
Solo and Small-Group AnglersWell matched: a maximum of 20 anglers keeps crowds down and gives solo anglers plenty of rail space to fish comfortably.
3
Large PartiesNot ideal for very large groups because the trip caps at 20 anglers; plan accordingly if your party approaches that size.

First-Time FishersAccessible: the operator provides gear and emphasizes a crowd-free, service-oriented experience that works for newcomers and experienced anglers alike.
