Depending on how deep you were wanting to fish I would try the following baits in colors like SHAD or BLUEGILL, BASS

Castaics for shallow fishing

Real California top water wake bait

Or Matts bass for deep to mid fishing also try some of the storms or big hammers

I know alot of spots are cought on HUDDS and SLAMMERS but IMO if your targeting 3lbers theres better baits that those.

Good Luck
