Lots of anglers are catching 6" to 8" squid off the inside edge of the Eastern Point Breakwater with Sabiki rigs.
Anyone have a good spicy recipe for what to do with the fresh catch?
By the way, now that the Audubon Society runs the lot at the breakwater, don’t forget that it costs $5.00 to park there for the day!
As for access, tell the guard at the gate by Niles Beach that you’re headed for the breakwater. There’s a public right of way along the AEPR (Association of Eastern Point Residents) private speed-bumped roads.
As for Niles Pond, it’s a Great Pond open to public use.

4 jalapenos
1 tsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 med yellow onion
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground pepper
4 tbs fresh parsley (or 1 tbs dried)
1/2 tsp ground coriander
Optional: your favorite bread, e.g., Sclafani’s! for dipping
Mince the garlic, onion, and jalapenos (seeded if you like). Quarter the tomatoes. Remove cartilage from squid and slice it.
Combine tsp of oil with minced garlic and onion in lg skillet over low heat.
While onion is cooking (stir often), peel potatoes and cut into 1″ cubes.
Add to onion mixture the jalapeno, tomatoes, wine, and marjoram. Turn heat up to high.
