Caleb and I were out the other night on the Des Moines pier slayin' the squid.  It was the perfect squiddin' night with cold rain and wind.  The action didn't were pick up until about 12:30am, we bailed around 1:45am.  We fried 'em up the next night and boy howdy were they good. 
We also managed two bottom fish that were about 10" long, I think must have been Sculpin.  Caleb said they had big smiles.

Well it was time again to venture out into the dark of night to lower the water level of the sound by hooking up some squid.  We managed to get out earlier than usual and catch our limit of squidwerds before midnight.  Thanks to the recent article in the PI the pier at Dez Moinez was pretty crowded.

Hey Larry, we're gonna make a pilgrimage out to the Des Moines pier tonight around 7:00PM.  High tide is at 8:00.  We went out last night but it quickly turned into a debacle.  After a short time with steady 25 mph winds all my jigs and three buckets and squid were blown off the pier.  Trying for redemption tonight.
