    Best lures? Yo-Zuri crystal minnows or Rapala X-Rap in sardine patterns for jacks and roosters—twitch 'em fast near structure. Offshore, cedar plugs or feathers on trolled lines nail dorado. Live bait kings it: sardines or mullet on circle hooks for everything—rig 'em free-line or under a balloon.
