Throwing my hat in the ring. I don't normally target rockfish but curious to see the response(s) as I'm in Fairfax.
Someone else can give you some pointers for trolling. I target strippers with light tackle early morning and just before sunset. They are normally shallow around those times. Casting top water plugs and jerkbaits will draw strikes near rip rap or sea walls. 1/2 oz lead heads with 4” twister tails (any color as long as it’s white) is another way to get them to bite. If you find breaking fish, Johnson spoons thrown to the outside edges of the school can be fun. You’ll hit a lot of smaller fish but there are keepers mixed in with them.
