La Jolla working rigs

[William Novotny]

One thing that will save time and frustration is to have a designated setup for each rig plus a designated bait rod setup before hand. You may see something out there (birds working the surface 150 yards away or see a school on your sonar) and the time it takes to setup the right rig could cost you your one shot at a fish. I usually have an iron tied onto my fly line setup on standby because I don't like taking more then 4 setups out.

But then again I'm only regurgitating info that had been told me. I've yet to bag my trophy but this all seems like sound advice.

Agreed 100%. Bait rig, fly line, yoyo, and surface irons are my standard 4 rigs unless I'm fishing rockfish or halibut.
