Also, if you guys try for yellowtail, which is highly unlikely, but if you do, have a nice ride.

15-20 is fine. If you fish deep (150-200+), as you very well might, 15-20lb line will stretch considerably and will drop ur hooksetting powa. If you dont mind that, then dont worry. If you do mind, bring heavier tackle (or circle hooks).
Depending on how fast the boat drifts you can match these weight depths
50ft-100ft.......1-2 oz leadheads (casting), 4 oz drop
100-150 ft........2-3 oz LH (casting), 6 oz drop
150-200 ft........casting ? still? 3 oz at least, 6-8 oz drop
200+ ft.........&#4 6;.the only thing ull be casting is a tangle spell on everyone else. Also, the way youll be sliding, you wont be fishing effectively since youll have about 400 feet of line out before you hit bottom. It MIGHT work, if you cast ahead of the slide, and FAR, otherwise, 8-12+ oz drop.

try not to have the line drift under the boat if you are going towards the lighter sinker size, if you are going light, fish so the line goes away from you.

i dont know, this is kind of overkill. Im pretty sure u already know all this...
have fun

I used 14 oz. the last I went rockfishing. 2 ounces too heavy. IMHHO. :x

If you're fishing anything else, what Nick said.

All this tackle talk has got me Jones'ing to wet a line.
