I fish the same waters and have worked to whittle down the tackle to the basics that work for both new and experienced anglers.
Popping cork with 1/8oz jig head with a new penny gulp
1/4 redfish eye jig head with either a new penny gulp shrimp or paddle tail (usually zman).
For soft plastics I usually carry one bright color and one dark natural color. The only time I believe a specific pattern works beyond just a light/dark contrast situation is electric chicken on the wando.
Plenty other baits will work but this is typically what I carry for artificials.
