Can't go wrong with 5-6 inch swimbaits on a 1-3 oz lead head (depending on depth/drift speed). Good colors are pearl white, rainbow trout or various baitfish patterns (sardine, bay smelt, sexy smelt, etc).

If you want to use bait, just rig up a 3-way rig with about a 3 feet leader to a squid, chovie, etc. Probably want about 2-6 oz on the 3-way (again depending on drift speed and depth).

I plan on using a 3 way rig to a squid while I cast around with a big hammer for butts.

Hope to see you out there Jimbo.
