Harrison Lee average 2' to 3 1/2'. But as you're aware on the coast that can change quick, but a lot of Estes/RB is going to be in that depth range. Your tides will + or - those numbers also.  

In that area I drift or troll to a pot hole and push it up on plane in the pothole, or I drift or troll to deeper water and push it up on plane. You're gonna  have a little grass kick up from time to time from prop wash, but it's the folks running across the flats with their prop buried in the mud for 300 yards that tear it up. Just be conscious of your depths, your boat's capability, take your time, and you will be fine.  

I like Costa, one of my buddies brother started PBO/Hook and Bullet. PBO/HB are premium sunglasses designed specifically for pretty much everyone on this forum, but they don't have RX lenses yet. Costa does a decent job with prescription lenses, so for now it's Costa. I need to make sure I see that rock in Baffin just at the split second it's too late and I rip the lower unit off. I like to see my insurance claims coming. 🤣

I rinse with salt off on my waders and wading shoes every use and let them air dry.
