Yep ! The olives love em. Try it with a Texas rig and throw it out as far as you can! Slowly work it in and if you don't get one before you bring it in just let it hang over the kelp and jig it. I've been fishing the coast guard my whole life and this guys right! Best bait.👍👍god I miss Monterey
Great video, I love fishing out there. The Gulp shrimp work super well in Monterey too. I fish swim baits at the coast guard pier when there’s not too much kelp. Nailed two keepers lings there in the last year.
When the surf perch bite is not on, trust me spent months not finding them in stock. Dicks had them but big 5 and outdoor world were always sold out. Thanks. - Scott.

I learned about it from a friend, I was using squid he said try this. I caught like 30 in no time.
I've had great success with those sandworms aswell.
I use little jig heads. What hook do you use for your setup
Little jig heads are not weedless like the #6 hooks I use.
how many ounces is your weight? how do you know it hits the bottom (as opposed to hitting the kelp on the way down to the bottom)?
Half ounce to 3/4, just let it go free spool until it stops. It will slither through all the kelp to the bottom.
I’m new to fishing and I’ve tried fishing at that spot but I lost 2 hooks and berkley gulp to does rocks and advice on avoiding that
Hook it up weedless, texas rig on a carolina set up then fish it right through the kelp, no problems then. Thanks for the view.
Can't wait for the next one! Those things really worked!
Have worked for years, I hate giving out my secrets.
So do you just cast over the kelp and then leave the bait outside and when they bit you try and get them up and over the kelp?
Pretty much, just like flipping bass. - Scott.

Lings are rare but man they have power. I hope to land one here some day. Thanks.
Would 8 pound mono last there?
My friend uses 10 lb. My 12 lb. leader seems to work although I am amazed how it pops free and does not break. - Scott.
Damn, they love that bait. The kelp so thick you about need a large mouth "punch rig".
Not really, just slither the bait across the top until it drops.
I live there and you can get them in outdoor world in seaside

What are the hours on this pier?
Sun rise to sunset. Been there after dark a few times, they forget to lock the gate. Its off the hook. Thanks for viewing.
How come there are no vids about crabbing in Monterey. Is it that impossible? Even Rock Crabs?
Don't no, the oceans not my main focus. Have a lot of friends that crab, maybe I'll do a show with them. - Scott.
thanks

Sand worm, camo color or natural. Never did good on the red ones. Hope this helps.
