Looks like I'll be out on the Freelance on Friday. They are headed out for a Bass specific trip (with a few stops for sculpin, apparently) before the gates open for rocks on 3/1.

Anyone have any bass specific tips/tricks/lure suggestions? My initial plan is to throw 4 - 6" big hammers, coltsnipers/squishjigs and possibly bring a jerkbait rod if the conditions see fit.

Anything else you guys can recommend would be greatly appreciated!

Throw whichever setup you are most accurate with. In my experience with bass trips, you either get them flylining baits like everyone on the boat is doing, or casting as close as you can to the kelp and they will ambush you bait from the kelp.

Swim baits always work, If they don't switch to a jig. Colt sniper and crocodiles work great.
