Default Beaks

The beaks out of a couple of the Humboldt Squiddlys that we got yesterday...



I saved em when carking the squid and boiled em to get the meat off.

Dean, use iron, like salas bars or diamond jigs. Those would be best. I don't think squid jigs have strong enough tines to hold one of these. They will bite anything.

The squid were all over the surface, we were jigging 3-10' down.

The water we caught them in was blue water, maybe 2000' on the south edge of the astoria canyon.
