By all means keep it fairly simple, but always try to "cover the bases," because one species will often save the day when another lets you down, or you let yourself down by fishing for it badly ! (Unless, of course, you are really targeting something which allows no distractions, such as mullet or large bass at night.)
For summer daylight sessions, research your mark and hit the high or low tide at dawn or dusk, whatever is appropriate for the spot, and in reasonably suitable weather conditions. Have a "best" beach caster and reel for whatever you are trying to reach at distance, and a second best set for close range - basic gear but not rubbish - and also a reasonable spinning rod matched to a good reel (abu etc), with a snap swivel for quick changes between lures, feathers and floats. Be prepared for the fish to behave differently and be in other places than you expect.
Doing this I have often had a good day on bream when mackerel failed to show, or scratched out a decent bass but nothing else, or saved the blank with pollock and scad, etc.
Good luck !
