Going for round 2 with La Jolla

[batty1of3]

well after saying i was going to wait a couple of weeks to head back to la jolla last week i'm really itchin to get back out there. Though i wish i could hold off til friday thursday looks like my day again. i had a couple of questions for those with more experience . 1 do you ever put any weight on your bait macs ? i just wondered if it helped to make them swim lower in the water column or do most have better success with just letting them do what they want. 2 is there any trick to how fast to troll the live macks or just nice and even slow around the outside of the forest? i think i may have been pulling mine up over kelp fronds pretty regularly 3 do you evercruise right into the middle of the kelp to fish for calicos or bottom fish ? what baits work well for those ?

thanks in advance
