your not going to stay still on the water, you'll drift. so set a drift from just outside the boueys to the squid grounds. make bait, then drift outside and in between the commercial lobster pots. you should pick up rockfish and calicos in there. they're plentiful. then go ahead and try the kelp. use a 3 or 4oz weight to hit bottom quick while you drift through holes. let it set and drag for a few seconds and dodge the kelp stringers the best you can (you need to be looking into the water at all times, they pop out of no where) and just keep dropping as you find a clear spot. dont be afraid to drop in a small spot where theres only 10ft between stringers. if you can hit bottom quick enough, a few seconds is all it takes to get bit.
