Simple solution, as the squid starts moving out to deeper cooler water the WSB are still at the island. True, the WSB like the squid pre spawn since squid is 100% protein and digests quickly and easily. The fish still have to eat and they do eat large fin baits quite well. This doesnt always mean load your tank with dines, many times you are better off making bait in the areas you plan on fishing to match your bait with whats natural in those specific areas.
Dont forget as the water warms, keep an outfit ready to go with a light/surface iron. The big white tady 77 is the idea jig for these big croakers when fishing areas with lots of structure.
There are reasons that the top WSB fisherman catch these big fish year round. They adapt to the ever changing conditions and dont say to themselves, ah the fish have moved on to places unknown, I will drag jigs offshore for albies, they change their approach to fishing WSB and are rewarded with trophy fish.
