Fishing Conditions- how much do you overthink your trip? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just wondering, is the bait you use as important as the fishing conditions?

Does anyone have a procedure for determining the correct bait to use? Take several different baits with you and try them one by one to see what's working that day?

Was told, 'using lures is the best, but at $5 apiece it's too expensive when fishing around kelp beds because it's so easy to lose them'. Didn't ask what lures they were, guessing they were using some nicely, realistic sardine lures.
