I have tried to catch squid while swordfishing over the years with no success. Now I have put very little effort into this, but I think people are catching them out there. I just do not know the right technique yet.
Last week we did have have some good size squid swimming near the boat. This was the first time I have seen them. They where just out of reach though.
With all the squid we see in their bellies they must be fairly plentiful.
