Another thought...

In my experience, when there is a ton of bait in the water (as there has been in La Jolla) it can be better to use lures (irons, etc.) My theory is that the plefora of live bait in the water creates too much competition for the one bait fish with a hook in its nose. Hence it may be better to use something different (a lure) that will get the attention of the target species.

Just a theory - I'll probably change my mind about this next time I catch a large fish on live bait. Lately I've had good luck fishing irons.
