SQUID FISHING IN PALAMÓS
Catching squid is one of the most exciting sport fishing activities, especially on board a Divateam Fishing boat.
In this article you'll find useful information about squid fishing in the Costa Brava: the ideal season, the most effective methods and the essential gear.
Why fish for squid from a boat?
Fishing for squid from a boat offers several advantages compared to fishing from the shore:
- It lets you reach deeper areas, where squid usually live.
- Being able to move freely on the boat lets you adapt better to sea conditions and improve your chances.
- Trips are on boats for up to six people, so the size of the boat is ideal for reaching the chosen squid fishing spots and for good stability, as well as, of course, the comfort of everyone on board.
Best time to catch squid on the Costa Brava
Season
Squid numbers increase significantly in the colder months, specifically from September to the end of December, the ideal period for this species.
Time of day
The night is the perfect time for this activity, as squid are more active in the dark. Using specific lights to attract them is a common and effective technique, as they are drawn to artificial light, which increases your chances of a catch.
Squid Fishing Techniques from a Boat
There are several effective techniques for catching squid from a boat. Here are the most popular ones:
1. Trolling from a Boat
This method consists of towing one or more rods with lures while the boat moves slowly. It's effective when squid are spread across different depths, as it covers a large area and lets you experiment with different speeds and depths.
2. Fishing with Squid Jigs (Poteras)
A potera is a special type of lure with multiple hooks designed to catch squid. The technique is simple: drop the potera into the water and let it sink down. This method is especially effective when squid are close to the seabed. The key is patience and paying attention to the movement of the lure.
3. Fishing with Jigs
Jigs are lures that imitate the erratic movement of prey, which makes them attractive to squid. They're used in deeper water and can be combined with lights to attract attention. Mastering this technique means learning to move the lure naturally to get a bite.
Tips for successful squid fishing from a boat:
To ensure you have a successful day, follow these key tips:
- Use the right equipment: rods and reels designed for squid fishing, as well as squid jigs (poteras) or jigs.
- Check the sea conditions: Check the weather forecast and sea conditions before going fishing. Squid are usually more active in calm waters and moonless nights.
- Know the fishing spots: with years of experience and local knowledge, the guides at Divateam Fishing will take you to the best fishing spots and give you personalised tips for a safe and fun experience.
