Here is a post I've made about fishing the end of SR, a very popular and good kayak spot.
Here is a map with some points of interest...
1) This is a good spot for flounder, especially in the early stages of the run where they congregate on the bay shores. On an outgoing tide, the first dock provides shelter, and is an ideal location to ambush bait flushed from the bayous W. of here. Fish near the dock pilings.
2) This is a fairly deep cut. Fish the downcurrent side depending on the tide. Good spot for topwater trout, and I've heard of people catching flounder here. Also a good spot if you want to still fish with some bait.
3) I have caught trout at this point at certain times
4) The reef. This is probably my favorite spot. Great topwater spot during the spring/fall/summer. Good for trolling as it is a very expansive reef, and you can cover alot of water. Soak some dead shrimp in the winter (no bait stealers), and you are almost guarenteed sheephead, black drum, and reds. During the summer, if you need BTB bait, chum here and use a small hook and fill up with croaker, piggies, and sand trout.
5) This bayou drain can be good on an outgoing tide
6) This shoreline has given up nice reds on occasion and is good for drifting with an E/SE wind (rudder will help you here)
7) Another point that holds trout on occasion
As with all spots, keep moving until you find what works. Feel free to add in any information from yall's experiences.
