Keep in mind, all (or most) of the posts you read about on here regarding white seabass, are for use from a float tube, kayak or other inshore, skiff type vessel (Brandon's dinghy...). They may be productive at other times, on big boats, but for the most part, they're for float tubing. So, with that said, if you want to get serious about seabass fishing, the general rigs are a fresh dead, or live squid on a dropper loop, or a white jig with a red squiggle. Frozen squid doesn't compare to fresh dead or live. Those are the two rigs that probably account for the majority of serious seabass. You can also put that white/red squiggle jig on the bottom of the dropper loop instead of the weight, and you can also pin a squid or two onto it. Use a Tady 4/0 sized jig.
