Various Rapala's work good for me in SD Bay when I'm going out to my fishing areas.

For La Jolla I drag a sabiki with a small iron on the end as my weight to catch bait. When I get hit, I stop and drop again or double back for more bait. Saves time and sometimes I have all the bait I need before I start looking for bait.

Around sunrise this works in typical bait zones in SD Bay as well on my way to the bait barge. Often, the bait barge can be avoided altogether. Ditto for the channel exiting Mission Bay to the ocean.

I've picked up corvina in the bay by keeping something in the water as I move around. It's usually a Rapala or small iron. Luckycraft is good too.

Anything is better than nothing. It just depends. Kayak travel speed is good for neutral depth fast moving lures. Catching seagulls has been rare for me over my lifetime. I can remember once.
