I am still waiting for someone to let us know what kind of squids you =
are observing.  I think all of the reports last year were of long-finned =
squids, Loligo, alias Peale=92s squids =97 please check and see if the =
mantle fins are longer than half the length of the mantle.  If shorter =
than that, it=92s Illex, the boreal or short-finned squid, the one from =
which the Squid Jigging Grounds song came (Newfoundland?).

Cheers and thanks from Jim in Wolfville.

So far my wife and I have found only 4 bunches of egg-sacs of =
long-finned squids on upper Evangeline Beach this year.
