Most of the lakes down there are pretty clear, correct? If that is the case, you have to go with the lightest tackle you feel comfortable with. I often here guys saying if it is clear water they use stuff like 14-17 lbs fluoro and I about die laughing, because I am over here using 8 lbs in the same water. Usually catching 4-5x as many fish and if you have the right reel/drag and rod combo, you will not break them off like you might think you will. It just takes a lot longer to get them back to the kayak.

Other than that, I would just bring a little bit of everything. I have mentioned to you before, I am a soft plastics guy, so I will have a couple gallon sized bags full of smaller baggies of different soft plastics in different colors and sizes. A few crankbaits, some spinners and frogs. You can never have enough frogs or other top water baits if they are super aggressive.

If nothing is biting, I will go really small and throw on some Bobby Garland original shads on a wide mouth jig. I crush bass with those things.
If it doesn't scare you, it is not heavy enough.
