Hiya

OldSarge, how do they keep the squid alive? I've experimented with squid, but have failed dismally, when trying to keep them alive for extended periods. They seem to be a very sensitive and temperamental specie.

When we catch them, we put them into a holding tank, which is secured outside the boat. This allows them to discharge their ink, if they do, as well as keeping them in their current sea water. When we leave, we transfer them to a live bait tank inside the boat, complete with aerator pumps. Yet, they don't survive the two hour trip out to sea. Other baitfish survive quite easily, but i would LOVE to have a live squid to feed to some tuna's!!!
