Kayak Fishing Brunswick

[BenKenobi2]

Good Evening ODT,

Memorial Day is coming up. I have consider going down to ST.Pete with my family to fish but I have also consider the Brunswick area. Both areas I have only fished inshore and although I have had success fishing from the banks, this past year I considered kayak fishing was my next venture. In the past year I've kayaked and gotten familiar with my setup fairly well but only in lakes and ponds.
I've marked on my GPS some spots I've seen kayakers hit. Youtube has been some help but I want to make sure I do my absolute best research before I get myself into a bad spot.
I know how to read a tide chart and feel comfortable following it however my question for those who kayak with tide waters..

Is it better to kayak/fish when there is an incoming tide or outgoing tide. I've heard both is okay and that still water is what you want to avoid.

Also

To those that know the area, say I drop my kayak at Sidney Lanier Bridge and want to fish the bone yards to the right of it for sheepshead.. would it be safest to target a certain tide to get to the spot? I know to factor in wind but I'm just a bit nervous since I've seen some big storms that make for choppy waters. I'd hate to get caught in that with an outgoing tide and end up having Wilson for a friend.

Thank you in advance and please excuse my ignorance, just trying to get dinner safely

be damn careful getting back in the creeks. its very easy to get lost.
setting in your boat you cant see over all the brush and reeds.
soon everything looks the same bro.
tight lines.

I would fish incoming tide if time is right. And I would focus on the usual spots likely to hold fish. As mentioned sitting in yak everything looks the same at some point. Make sure you have downloaded area map for offline use on phone and satellite imagery if possible. Ride in with the tide, snack and relax in slack and ride it out.

becareful not to be to far in the creeks on out going. you will be stuck in the mud for hours, or at least can be
if your not careful. thats when the mosquitos will rip you apart then carry your remains off. they love the mud.
100 yrd walking in the mus feels like days. draggin your gear and boat too. no thank you lol.
