Favorite plastic lures for bays

Took my son out for a couple 'firsts' today in Mission Bay. It was his first fishing experience and my first time fishing a bay (from a kayak). We both had fun but only a mackerel to show for our efforts.

I've fished La Jolla for years and today realized I know very little about fishing bays. Would love to hear what lures you like for bays? Thanks!

For Mission Bay... 3-4" swimbaits or grubs on your favorite 3/8-1/2oz weedless lead head. Or better yet dropshot a fluke type plastic, same weight. Smear your favorite scent on there and hold on.

some of the most consistent, LEGAL halibut I've seen caught were on a pack of grubs that looked like this

The small hook-up baits definitely get bit. Try more towards the coves and a little farther back in the bay.

I would add Big Hammer perch grub, dark green with red flake.

These work good for keeping your kid busy. Anything will eat these.

Dropshotting on an Aberdeen hook with a 3 inch zoom fluke, one with split tail, not a paddle tail. I like white and my favorite is grey.
