Lots of squid

Giant Humboldt squid have moved into waters off Orange County and are giving anglers such a run for their money that most sport-fishing trips are limiting out within hours.

"We had our limit within two hours -- the giant squid were everywhere," said Dana Wharf Capt. Corey Lieser. Both twilight trips on Saturday and Sunday returned home with a full boat of the squid.

The squid being caught are weighing in at 20 to 30 pounds each, and can be lured to vessels by using lights, according to Lieser.

"The light causes the plankton the squid feed on to shine, which causes the squid to rise to the surface to feed, making them easier to catch."

Dana Wharf Sportfishing will continue to run special squid trips, which cost $25 per person and depart each evening at 5:30 p.m., for as long as the jumbo squid are in our local waters.

Yummy, it's been a while but yummy.

Those things can kill a diver or a swimmer.

Yep more reason to kill and eat. lolol

Haven't ever eaten squid and don't know if I would really ever want to either... LOL

Its good when prepped and cooked right....Its also like oysters and beer..acquired taste.

Well, that would probably knock me out of liking it, as I can't stand oysters, no matter how they are cooked....
