Anyone have a good way to make a squid spawner? I need black wool!

From what I've seen Squid spawn in dark water areas. Meaning they won't spawn in a 3 deep water hole. You could try making a hole with some water in it. But honestly I don't know.

the farther down you go the more spawn for me

So much mis-information...You can actually build a very effective squid spawner, first off you want to get rid of all the water in a 100x100 area or close to this size anyways (even those underground pools). Squid can only spawn at certain heights, also they tend to spawn a little more frequently in lit up areas rather then dark. My friends and I built a fairly effective one a long time ago on XBox (pre-pistons) If you want better explanations and info, there is a wiki button at the top of the page. If you want a step-bystep tutorial here you go
Just ignore the hopper and lava part and have them fall out the bottom by holding the water up with signs they will fall down and die and you get the drops.
