Live squid is the ticket. Fresh dead is also find. We both know that once you throw a live squid the wrong way it becomes fresh dead. I generally put them on a #2 circle hook.
Depth is a key factor. 20 to 30 fathoms to start but sometimes up to 60 can also be a plus. As I was taught not too long ago, "The birds can sometimes be one of natures best fishfinders".
When you find the seagulls and other sea birds bashing the top of the water, you know that there are somekind of baitfish around. A big enough school of baitfish and a little comotion form the birds will almost always attract the bigger fish to the area.
You need lighter gear to flyline your baits out. I generally like to use my graphtech 9 1/2 foot flipping stick with a Avet SX 5 to 1 ratio with the 15 or 20lb Trilene Big Game electric blue line. Add a light sliding sinker to pull it down. It takes awhile to get down but that is what triggers the strike.
Give it a shot and let me know if you need any more info. I will keep my eyes out for the Pony Express to arrive to my house.
