Catching Bait Locations

[Guyak]

Hello All,
After throwing plastics all last year, I ponied up and got the Kayatank and I am ready to go for the big boys. I have heard people mention catching bait beyond the pier. I am assuming Scripps?? Where abouts up there? Are their other semi-reliable spots?

Also, any preference on the type or size of the Sabiki?

Thanks for your help. I look forward to getting something with some serious size
