what are the best lures for fishing for redfish and snook off the beach in sanibel/captiva?

Im going to Sanibel this weekend for a week I want to know more about refish and snook and what are the best and most effectvie ways of cathing them. Last year I used live bait, but id like to also try lures. If anyone knows some spots that would be great.

    I have personal experience catching Snook on Sanibel island. I used whole shrimp. You can also use flies or spoons that immitate minnows. On Captiva, a good fishing spot is Redfish Pass. On Sanibel, some great places to catch Snook and Redfish are Bowman's Beach, Algiers Beach, Tarpon Bay, and Blind Pass Beach. Your best chance at Snook or Redfish is by using shrimp. If you would like to try something different, try using sand fleas. You put them on a small or medium sized hook, and you can catch Sheepshead and Pompano. Sanibel is a great fishing spot! Good luck!

    if you dont know how to catch sand fleas you basically scoop up some sand from the lip of the sand and you will feel them crawling around in your hands...... good luck!
