Tower_climber (5/22/2009)Nice pics....you're making me miss home.
I grew up in SD and worked on the local sport fishing boats when I was a kid. A great rig for huge ling cod and or sand bass when no live squid is available is taking the thawed frozen squid and "squeezing" out the guts (like squeezing a tube of tooth paste to get that last bit out)....now stick a large sardine or live anchovy (smelt if you can get them) into the cavity, hooking the live bait right in the nose right through squid. Waaa-laaah you now have "live squid". I use to use about a 4/0 or 5/0 hook on a Carolina rig and have caught many hefty fish with this rig. You can also "fly-line" ( no weight ) this bait out. It can be pretty lethal for the bigger finicky yellowtail.
Hug the kelp along the coast just North of Crystal Pier in Pacific Beach for some nice flatties (halibut) and white sea bass.
Congrats on the cool job! Good luck.
Get bent and pump 'er till your spent!

Hey thats a great idea man, I'm def. gonna try that here. I've done it with dead cigs and squid in pcola. Yeah the squid haven't shown up yet, but I can't wait to buy a half scoop to fill up the live well
