Probably 3/4 to 1oz...

Swimbaits... probably not what he means... a sluggo will go through the water pretty erratic. Drives'em nuts!!

I'd rock a suspending minnow, something you can sit right in their face. Maybe a husky jerk or a rouge. I usually catch alot of early season gators on the husky jerk in about 4' of water.
