Now that I've caught 2 sub-legals and saw a 14#r(actually a pic at a bait shop) caught in the same general area the day before, I want to know how to go for the big dogs.
I know they have a love for live squid, but barring that, what is the favored bait, lure, rigging technique, presentation, etc?
I prefer to use lures but if I feel the need I'll use bait.
Will they hit froven squid better than a live 'dine? Would the old squid wrapper on a live 'dine be better? How far off the bottom would you run a 3-way to a bait?
What are favored lures aside from 'dine color swimbaits? I've heard they like white Tady's and the like. I have a wht/yel/brown Iron man 5 and a blu/wht Tady. Are Rapalas good and what size and color.
What depths do they like? I've been hearing that bigger ones(+20#) have been hitting near Moss Landing in 35-50' of water, but that area is usually a lot rougher than the New Brighton Beach area.
Any and all info is appreciated.

Tight lines,
Wade
