I have had good luck lately with the the Black belt AJK-4 (available at Turners) and the Owner 5525-075 sabikis. If you fish in the morning, be out on the water before grey light. As soon as the light breaks, its like magic, the bait appears. Trust your instincts - this is the right spot I have selected - the bait will appear - be patient grasshopper (I'm not kidding). Drop the rig down at several depths until you feel the "raindrops", the bait pecking at the hooks. Stop and jig up and you will load it up. The kelp just past the buoys works but I usually boogie out to the the farther kelp before I make bait since that is where I fish. You can see them on the fish finder but I usually wait until I hear the rain on the surface and drop down there. The visibility is so good lately you can see the schools below the surface. I have been able to fill the tank on the first stop. That won't be the case later in the season when traditionally it becomes harder to find bait.
