At first, I used a #9 Floating Rainbow Trout Rapala.
Then, I found a Yo Zuri Magnet Minnow (3.5” Floating, Smolt pattern) washed up on the shore there.
Historically, I always had the most success with the wind from the NW, right in my face. The transfer of a weight inside the abovementioned lure allows for long casts in those wind conditions.
Correct, they no longer make that exact lure (I still have one that is very beat up,…but it catches!).
A couple of years ago I bought few of their new Mag Minnows. The lip, a bit longer, caused it to dive too deeply. So, I shaved some off to match the old one. It catches.
Currently, it appears they have even a newer line:
