Nothing big needed some light 20 to 30 trolling gear is fine and a bit overkill but will land a schoolie bluefin if one comes to visit and or if you plan to troll some spreader bars which need a little more back bone of a rod. Other then that some medium action inshore spining reels for casting on the pots and you'll be fine.

Average fish is probably 5 to 10 pounds and the largest you'll likely run into is 20 pounds or so. Fishing with lighter tackle makes I t more fun but you you might as well be prepared for some bluefin should they show up.
