Live bait

Sorry if this subject has been beat to death, but I’m looking to start doing some more bottom fishing this year and I’m curious as to where I can get the best bait? I know squid is always a go to, but I was told that live pinfish are where its at. That said, where would I go looking for pinfish? How do I catch them (sabiki?castnet?)? What other baits should I use and for what fish and best depths? Does anybody sell this stuff? I know I sound like a rookie, but believe it or not I’ve been fishing for years. Mostly trolling and recently I’ve become addicted to spearing. I would just like to have some action for the other willing participants in the boat when I decide to dive. Thanks for the help.

P.S. before anybody else suggests it…I will be making a stop by Sellsfish to talk to “Da Man”

Menhaden are great bottom bait too…
