Mir o lures white with a redhead, lot of choices but this one seems to always work.
I prefer to use live croaker on the bottom with a small split shot or live shrimp under a popping cork.
soft plastics, Pumpkinseed with a Chartreuse Tail or Laguna Pearl (Green Glitter over Pearl) or Texas Chicken (Pink over Chartreuse Sparkle with Red Tail). Texas Trout Killers by Texas Tackle Factory. Colors: Morning Glory (Black with a Chartreuse Tail) or Red Shad (Black over Dark Red) or Pumpkinseed with a Chartreuse Tail.
Devil Eye by Brown Lures. Colors: Amber or Black Cat (Black with a Chartreuse Tail) or Dark Strawberry Blue (with a White Tail).

I don't fish the bays or laguna much anymore, prefer to go offshore. ask around the local bait tackle stores when you get there.
