I've had some good days on the halibut up there using the same 5" big hammer (no squid) and doing a 3 crank retrieve across the bottom. Just let it hit bottom then do 3-5 quick cranks, let it fall and hit bottom, 3-5 cranks, fall... Give it a shot. Beats dragging a trap rig across the sand flats. If you're up tight to the beach, especially goleta beach and west beach try throwing a rebel fastrac minnow almost onto the sand and just straight retrieve it across the shallows. That bait will also catch those wsb at the receiver when the sun goes down.
