So you want to catch
your own bait. Ill give you my preferred bait in order live Squid, sardine, pacific "greenback" mackerel and spanish mackerel.
Catching live squid is for another day so the rig you need is a sabiki. I like the hayabusa sabiki in size 8. it is best to cut them in half and pinch the barbs, add a 1-3 oz weight and your ready to catch bait.
Look for bait in and along the kelp line. also watch for a disturbance on the surface usually it is bait, cast into it. Bait like to school with their own kind so if you don't find what you want keep looking. Sometimes the seals will lead you to the bait. A fish finder will help find schools below the surface and help keep that sabiki out of the kelp.
Good luck,
Eli
