Totally agree, a variety of baits is good and there is always squid on the boat.
We were using whole pillies on our straylines yesterday. Just gota remember to give them time to eat it properly before engaging the drag
Down here we have a very healthy gurnard fishery in the bay and they are a desirable, tasty bycatch when targeting snapper but not big squid eaters.
These days when we are dropping long lines they always have some trevelly or salted mac along with squid on them.
These are the hooks that pick up the gurnard.

I find the snapper seem to go off the squid after spawn too.
I never leave without pilchards.
Salted mackerel,squid,kahawai are my fave longline baits tho the sharks cannot resist squid
