Snook under the lights are definitely shy and you can even expect a few baby tarpon to show up at times. there are a number of flies that have worked well for me when I lived in South Florida for six years -- the small anchovie fly patterns made out of silicone worked extremely well, as do clousers and white or flash flies -- there are a number of patterns modeled after the brooks blonde tied with a flash wing. As for the DOA lures, yes the select size shrimp works great and it's worth trying the DOA CAL jigs. Live bait is always a good bet around the lights and adjacent seawalls. Don't ignore the inlets at night, if you have time swing over to the inlet and have a look, you are likely to see guys fishing there. Boca is close to a lot of other areas, so if you have time it's worth exploring, and don't forget to check out the local tackle shops. Not sure who is in Boca these days, but there are plenty in Ft. Lauderdale which is close by Boca.
