Wrong, these squid are actively feeding. Size and color of jig matters this time of year. Pink, pink/white, white, blue/white, green/white and orange/white work well and represent the colors of prey. Also smaller is better. I've seen the National Geographic episode where commercial jiggers drop lines of jigs into millions of spawning squid and use large jigs that represent female squid. But this is not the case for Puget Sound. Besides the majority of these squid (that I'm catching now) are still sexually immature. The female egg sacs are all very tiny and the sperm "needles" haven't developed yet in the males.
