Effectively using a sabiki to catch bait?
Somewhat embarrassing, but I'm useless when it comes to catching bait with a sabiki. Are there any tips/tricks to doing this? We leave out of Hillsboro Inlet and I mostly just randomly drop down over reef-type bottom in 30-40 feet. If I'm lucky I catch a few small grunts but nada else.
Is there a 'best' size? How much weight should be used? Do we need to cruise the beach looking for a school of bait? Tip with squid? Impart a lot of action or just drop down
My bait inadequacy needs some help here....

Don’t forget you are trying to imitate plankton and/or tiny fish. Neither of which can swim fast, so small twitches of the rod tip usually out fishes larger movements of the Sabiki lures, to fool three to five inch bait fish.
