I don't know the area well enough to offer specifics, but generally any pier or float in a river that is tidal is a good starting point. The squid chase small bait like spike mackerel or herring so any river that supports small fry like that is good. If the dock or float is lighted above at night, so much the better as it attracts the bait and then the squid chasing the bait. Guys often bring lanterns to shine in the water. You can often see the squid come in, if there's enough light. Marinas are good, if they allow fishing. Problem is that many are off limits because of idiots leaving behind trash, etc.
I like the weighted Yo-Zuri jigs, on the smaller side, on a light rod. Make sure the jig gets down in the current, may need to add rubber cores sometimes.
Never tried netting them...
