Many smaller ones also on "tin squids" (heavy casting spoons) and "teasers" (feather streamers tied on dropper loops ahead of the tins).
I caught most of my bigger ones with a 1-1/2 oz jig head and the 5-inch Yamamoto Swimbait in color #031 (pearl blue w/silver).
The people at Yamamoto really make good bait. :)
