What is the meaning of

> いかをとる

(line 5)?

I tried to juggle with the meanings of いか and とる, meanings that I knew about
or I found about later on (<http://jisho.org/search/ika>), but I still cannot
make sense of their meaning together. Is this an idiom?

the meaning of いかをとる
It's literally "catching squid". The mentioning of the boats should've helped
you with the context.

In case you didn't know, squid is commercially caught by attracting them using
lights at night. Here's a [Google picture
