Need Some Shopping Advice

OK so my boss is retiring in a few weeks. He lives in Ft Myers FL half the year and will be heading down there as soon as he is done. He has a boat and loves to fish and I have been put in charge of buying his retirement gifts from the money collected throughout the facility. I will have close to if not more than $800 to spend on fishing gear that he will use on his boat in Florida waters. Through conversation I have learned that he fishes for a wide variety of fish to include snook, drum, spanish mackerel and whatever else came to his mind. Sounds like he is mostly a bait (shrimp) guy and he tells me he uses a spinning set-up. He also says his boat has a fish-finder. Looking for tackle suggestions from folks who have fished in these waters for these fish.
Also other boat essentials or even some not-so-essentials.

I will likely shop at one of the local tackle shops and want to buy quality stuff.

Thanx for any info and suggestions.

Paul
