I've had good luck with the yo-zuri Ika Minnow and mini squid jigs. My MO is if they are being finicky, go smaller. Get a few in different sizes, but load up on the really small ones. Not sure where you're located, but Sams in Middletown has some good ones.

The hot color changes daily, but pink is always a good bet... Blue, green, whatever...

Off a boat, I like a 1/2 oz weighted squid jig (kinda looks like a pink sinker with the squid hooks on it) then two or three jigs on droppers, spaced ~18" apart. Drop down, and I normally just hold the rod still... Motion of the ocean gives it all the action needed. Adjust depth till you find out where the hungry ones are.
