Way too much info Dave!

If you do not have a fish finder, you will be handicapped a bit. Bait usually is found near some kind of structure, kelp, piers, etc. In LJ, it can sometimes be everywhere or nowhere. Usually I find bait near the surface, but sometimes the fish are holding deep. It is different almost every time I go out. This is where the fish finder helps a lot.

Trolling works but unless you go really slowly, the lures run fairly shallow so if the bait is deep, you will miss it. In places where you are fairly sure bait is holding a little chum will usually help gather a crowd. I have used small pieces of dead bait or chunks off of a frozen fish head. Cat food also works, or you could use Dave's method.

If you are inexperienced, just ask someone who looks like they know what they are doing. This is a very helpful community.
