Bug bait when you got more $$ than time... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hey guys, I'm just gettin in to hoopin this season. Took a trip out to one of the LBC oil islands last week and only pulled rock crabs. I used some "Bonita" from the 99 Ranch Market...actually looked like false albacore to me. $8.50 got me a 4 lb fish that sparsely filled 3 bait cages for a few sets.

I've got a few more locations to try out, but want to improve the bait sitch first.

So...when you're willing to buy bait vs. go on a bait run...what would be your game plan? I'm seriously too busy atm (working, selling my house, moving, house shopping..ugh) to go hit a pier all night or yak out just for bait. Any solutions here? Or is hooping just not for the time restricted folks like me out there? Or would those lil tuny work if I just bought more?
