I mostly use ringed live bait hooks. Sizes 2 - 4/0.
I'm bringing 4oz and 6oz cannonballs or torpedo weights for my dropper loops.
For my bait rig (1oz egg sinker directly above the hook) I like to put just a bit of space between my sinker and hook. I felt like I missed some bites before I made this adjustment. I first started tying little mini-Carolina rigs, using a barrel swivel then a 2" leader to the hook. An easier way to do this is to either us a Carolina Keeper or rubber core egg sinkers. I used the rubber core egg sinkers last year and I think I prefer that method.
I want to bring some 30lb flouro....but 25 is so much cheaper!
Also bringing my own supply of frozen squid this year.
I may bring a few rockfish jigs just in case I happen to be on the boat for a RF drift....although it's unlikely.

Will post more later. Gotta run to a meeting right now.

OH Boy!! The best part is I didn't have wait in anticipation for months...now it's just a few weeks...WhoooHooo!!!

It will be fun to yell, "Hey AL" and watch four different people turn around. 

 

Soooo fancy...

I've been laying awake at night dreaming of this trip for the past few weeks. It helps that we've gotten over a foot of snow in the past two days! So stoked for some San Diego sunshine and to see all you guys. Can't wait to whip it out
