Not sure if this is even necessary, but anything helps.... get $1 worth of deli cooked shrimp from Safeway and spider thread a piece on the hook. Guy at Pacific Angler told me to give it a shot and it worked wonders last time I floated at jig at the Stave. The guy beside me was getting as much if not more and he was just using a jig without the shrimp, so not sure if it helped, but I figure why not.
For a while it was fish on every cast .... non I wanted to keep of course. At one point I kind of wanted a break, my arm was getting sore. Not sure, but I swear they looked fresher at first light, the one fish I lost just as was landing it was silver... of course. The rest, pretty colored to downright gnarly.
