Sandtrout just as good to eat as speckled trout. 
 
Big bait catches big fish. So croaker heads/body that are about 4inchs long on a 16/0 mustad circle hook will catch you anything over 30inch swimming in the Texas water. 
 
Then again, bull reds/black drum do eat shrimp because they are gluttens. Only problem of using dead shrimp/squid is that you deal too much with the trash fish like croaker/catfish/gaftops (all bloody bastards)

I haven't seen no sharks but Ive heard of people saying that they are bad but not near Freeport or surfside... I'm glad I never seen them they are scary looking... 
 
Reds also like crab just fyi for anyone who didn't know
