I'm from MA so don't really fish the bay. But in general, if I'm fishing protected areas I like the 6" sluggos in white or bubblegum on a 5/0 o'shaunessy style hook with one of the 1/32" sluggo weights, especially if small bait is present. You need a pretty light action rod to work them to. I work them pretty quick with some pauses thrown in compared to my usual retreive but, again, its all relative and fast to one person is moderate to another so experiment. Basically I like to keep them in the top 2 or 3 feet of the water column without having them breach the surface. Hope that helps. To me, the 9" sluggos really belong in bigger water with some surf. The 7.5" are more versatile and can be used in pretty much all conditions. Try bubble gum at dusk and dawn.
