Setting up for LJ - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Making my first trip to LJ this friday and I want your opinions on how I should set up.

I only have 2 "heavy" combos.
1. TLD Star 20/40 on a 6.5ft heavy spooled with 40lb mono topshot
2. Daiwa SLX20 on an 8ft teramar heavy spooled with 20lb mono topshot

I figure I can use the first set up for working the bottom and the second for surface/yoyo.

The questions:

1. Do these setups make sense for targeting yellowtail/wsb? If not, what should I change?

2. If the game plan is to work the kelp, should I rip out the mono from the second setup and use straight braid?
