Tree,
Me and Pete were about to go on that boat, but we're going to charge the Harbor Tackle charter out of Morro Bay next month instead. You probably won't get into the fish like Merit did yesterday, but you'll still find em. I'd suggest a 30 lb. setup and a 40 lb. setup. The squidder will be fine for 30 lb. and it'll probably be all you need unless you get into the bigger units, where you'll need a bigger setup and heavier line.
