Good idea starting this thread. I'll add a little. I find that using strips of rockfish meat work quite well too. If I'm catching some smaller starry rockfish, I'll filet it and cut the filets in strips, and make sure to leave the skin on the filets, it helps keep it on the hook. I also tend to use bigger hooks so as to keep from accidentally hooking the smaller rockfish that are in the area. I'm talking like 4/0 and up. As for lures, I find that colors of red, orange, yellow, pearlescent white, and even some variants of bright green work well. Hope this helps too.
