    Squid jigging is an art form. If you doubt it, put yourself in the lineup at one of docks where calamari-crazed fishermen huddle in the droning hum of their generators and the alien-green gleam of their HydroGlow lights. Watch the regulars. They’ll be the ones intently staring at their rods, making precise upward sweeps, filling their buckets at a much faster pace than you.

    Anthony DeiCicchi and I were marveling at the number and variety of baitfish attracted to our light as we shone it over a mid-Cape dock. An hour before, we’d fired up the generator and aimed the light at the water and watched as more baitfish schooled beneath us with each passing minute. And then the squid showed. Dozens of them ghosted up from the bottom, and began darting into the light to snatch baitfish with their tentacles.
