Do you have any recommended lures? I went out today in RB and was only successful on squid/mackerel. My red hookup bait didn't get any action.
I'll be honest, I don't send a jig down unless it has squid on the hook, so I don't really think it matters. Make sure the jig hits the bottom a bunch of time and makes some noise to attract the fish. I've used Megabaits, Point Wilson Darts, P-Line Laser Minnows, and yesterday a Bridgeport Diamond Jig. Usually I swap out the treble for a single hook. A very rough rule of thumb is 2 oz for 100 ft, 3 oz for 200 ft, 4 oz for 300 ft, and add 1-2 oz to those numbers if you're drifting from the wind.
