I haven't been targeting them yet, but we're just starting to catch a few on the tubes by accident. I suspect if you cut a 4-inch tube in half and slid it over a lead head, or just used a "stock" short one and dropped it up north, you'd be able to do fairly well. The canyon probably has some pups on the cliffs and points too. From now through the fall, they shouldn't be too tough to come by. You can tell them on most sonars by the thickness of the arches. Also, the pups tend to suspend just below the thermocline. You can also tell you're on 'em if you drop down and get multiple hits fairly quickly. Bigger fish don't hit that good!
