X-Rap 15 should do you pretty well. I use a 10 or 15 depending on what I feel like trolling. Color wise the green/yellow mackerel works the most consistently. I've had some good hits off the Yellowfin, sardine and bonito colors. They recently added Wahoo and Sailfish colors but I haven't tried those yet.

You can expect to run across WSB, Bonito, Thresher, Mako and the occasional Yellowtail, at least in Dana Point. My favorite is the Thresher, I've hooked some that are pretty large. Fought one for three hours and 5 miles, about 8 feet not including the tail. I lost it right at the kayak, line got wrapped around the fins and popped off. I was kind of relieved to be honest.
