I have fished quite a bit down there. Lots of silver with black/blue backs. Flesh/cream/white colored are popular too. The majority of the baits down there are in these color patterns. (shrimp/threadfin herring/grunts/pinfish etc)
I'd spin a few poppers and spook type plugs as well. Walk the dog under the mangrove overhangs and around dock structure. But if he is from down there, he knows the drill!
