Recommended tackle

So my wife said to me that she would like to go to see her Dad for Fathers Day and spend a few days so I could fish.
He's in Panama City so my plan is to target Kings and Spanish , this is my first Gulf trip since we relocated to Ga.
I would have been going at it hot and heavy but had Spinal Fusion Surgery after settling in and been down for 6 months .
Well with Physical therapy and good xrays my Doctor said I can start to resume some Lt. fishing activities .
So I plan on just talking a minimum amount of gear with me , Previously fishing the Piers in North Carolina I packed for all contingencies , But I'm going to go with the old "Travel Lite"

Cart , 3 to 4 rods , cooler (drinks and food) cooler ( bait&fish)
Now tackle selection is were I need advice , what rigs ? and what else .
I've soaked in a lot from all your posts , in just don't want to show up with the wrong gear .
I will hit the local tackle shop , Thanks for any help you have
