TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE BEST SQUID JIGGING TRIP DATE

Choosing the right date plays an important role in the success of a squid jigging trip. Factors such as season, weather, moon phase, and sea conditions greatly affect both the catch results and participants’ comfort. Below are essential guidelines to help you select the best date for your squid jigging trip.

1. Choose the Right Squid Season

In the waters of Kuala Terengganu and Merang, squid are usually more active during certain periods of the year. Trips scheduled during squid season offer better chances of a good catch compared to off-season trips.

✔️ Ask the operator about the current squid season
✔️ Avoid off-season dates if your main focus is catch results

2. Pay Attention to the Moon Phase

The moon phase has a significant impact on squid activity. Generally, darker nights (new moon) to partial moon phases are more suitable for squid jigging compared to full moon nights.

✔️ Dark moon → higher chances
✔️ Full moon → squid are harder to attract to the lights

3. Avoid Full Moon Dates

During a waxing or full moon, natural moonlight reduces the effectiveness of green underwater lights. This can affect the number of squid attracted to the boat.

✔️ Choose dates 3–7 days after the full moon
✔️ Focus on darker nights

4. Check Weather & Wind Conditions

Weather conditions are crucial for both safety and comfort. Strong winds and rough seas not only reduce catch results but may also pose safety risks.

✔️ Choose dates with calm winds
✔️ Avoid monsoon season or unstable weather
✔️ Check weather forecasts a few days before the trip

Conclusion

Selecting the right date will make your squid jigging trip more comfortable, safer, and more likely to produce satisfying results. By considering seasonal timing, moon phases, and weather conditions, you can enjoy a more rewarding squid jigging experience.
