Try a gold spoon & retrieve real slow for ladyfish.

free line some live shrimp....You can also use artificial baits and jigs, slowly jerking the in the surface of the water:

gulp it shrimp, DOA shrimps, no need to bite off the tails

As Herb mentioned, freeline shrimp. Ive caught them as well on silver sides too. They aren't too finicky, usually when they are around me they aren't too shy to eat.

Reeling in gold spoons slowly and DOA shrimp (white works well for some reason) just leave it in the water and pop it around a few times.. usually does the trick...

can they be caught at john lloyd park? i toss all kinds of live bait I cast net there and nothing but a big jack here and there, I always surf cast with bottom rigs there and the usual baits I cast net there, I use them as live bait, these include small croakers, pinfish, baby jacks, pilchards and some anchovies

I haven't caught or seen them at John U. Lloyd park, usually I see them schooling with makerals and PITA jacks... would love to catch one at John U park, they are excellent shark bait!!!
