I bet the sabiki would have worked great. Even contemplated using a cast net, but figured I'd cut the little guys a break and not get the whole school (or a destroyed net from the riprap).
Unweighted 4/0 VMC cast out about 10', let it sink, then rip. They were in so thick I was even getting snags on a bucktail. The little bass (16-26") were a ton of fun, just had to set the hook early to make sure they didn't inhale it.
Kinda wished I had my squidding gear... That would have made for a great fight.
