There are so many knots but you really only need a few. One to tie on hooks and lures, one to form dropper loops, and if you're going to use braid and leaders, one to join those two. I use old school improved clinch, a surgeons loop, and an Albright.

There are a few others I use but those 3 are my main ones. Get a good tutorial and practice.

Halis live on the bottom so a dropper is a good call.

White sea bass and yt can be all over the water column so dropper, Carolina rig, or fly line depending on where they're fishing.

Summer fishing is my favorite time because often all you need is a hook and a lively bait. Mike.
