Any tips for catching them?

I caught one small one yesterday using sea worms, a rig with two hooks on a spreader, and a two ounce sinker.
I was near a group of rocks in about 20 ft of water. Lowered it down to the bottom, then reeled up a few cranks. My fishfinder was showing lots of fish near the bottom but only one take.

Are green crabs a better choice for bait?

Squid cut up. :uhuh:

Brought 18 home to fillet last trip out with a friend, all on 3/4oz Kalin Ulimate jigs tipped with my 4" split tails, drifting a reef that tops out in 35 feet off Cutty (Goose knows where:)), but that was close to the top of the tide. Black Sea bass love jigs, bucktail work great, I have an olive head bucktail with red/black bucktail in 4oz that kills them in a deeper hump off the Vineyard, that tends to have faster water and requires a heavier head. You can catch them with fluke rigs and squid, but frankly I've never had that method out fish jigs, so why bother.

Any tips for catching them?

they are pretty easy to catch, aggressive feeders. squid ,clam, worms, just about anything works. hi/low rig right on the bottom. i prefer to drift but anchoring up works too. think rocky structure. if your not catching - move to another spot

you may want to check the current bag limits

Clams, cut so that the strip has a bit of the stomach still attached are by far the best bait. Squid, also works as does almost anything else. I like to use a three hook rig on dropper loops, with the first hook 6 inches above the sinker and the other two six inches up and six inches up. I use 3/0 or 4/0 circle hooks, they have big mouths and the big hook avoid hooking the cunners and scup.

Drift and jig! find some moving water

The bigger fish are holding in deeper water humps at this time of year ,,40'+... Go fluking at Lucas's and you'll surely get some good ones.

Go scupping at Devil's Bridge, you will definitely get some big BSB and maybe a striper, too!
