in the open waters, look for the boils and the seagulls. they usually hover around the bait fish when they are boiling. also look for the bait balls on your fish finder. after you find these, then drop down a subiki rig with a large jig on the end and bob it up and down. you'll feel the line pulling and when you do you got bait. just retrieve and unhook it into your bait tank.
look under the innovations to get some ideas. there is one in there about unhooking the bait fish from your subiki.

Keep it light in the bays. Most freshwater bass rigs will do if you got em'. Medium-light to medium rods. Just make sure the rods are long enough to clear your bow. I know guys that go as light as 4lb test. I stick with 8 & 10lb myself.
