They look like Afro hair on the meter on the bottom. Cruise around mission beach looking for the beds. Most likely, you won’t be the only boat on them. Sabiki rigs work better than squid rigs imo for the market size squid.

Found one about a week before the squid boats went full ham in about 140ft of water in the sandy part of the NW corner of LJ. As camo mentioned they look like an afro or cha cha cha chia pet on the meter

All depends on squid boat pressure. I never paid attention to the bed lifespan but I’ve fished the same numbers for a couple weeks and made squid.

No, damage was not from boats. Good ole mother nature.

Sand has built up in that corner of the basin, actually quite a bit. It has left a very uneven bottom right there. At really low tides, the docks come down on that uneven sand and get al twisted up and are starting to buckle and crumble at the ...

Nice pictures!

Nice grade for half day range.

Hi, and welcome. Wanted to share so you can benefit from the errors of my ways on a recent 2-day trip on the Pacifica, a boat I very much enjoyed. The tuna caught were mostly schoolies in the 25-pound range with a few north of 70lbs. We finished with something like 79 BFT and 21 YFT.
