Chuck, I've been out there about 6 times.I'd advise to stay out of the stickmarsh and fish the perimeters in the canals. If you do fish the stickmarsh, 100# test line is recommended and motoring can be quite slow because of all the stumps. My favoriteplace is the exterior rim canal at the in flow gate where the boat ramp is and it runs parallel (E&W) to canal 58. The flowgate is about a mile from the boat ramp.
I'm not sure about your jon boat, the only concern I'd have is gators. They are just about a nusiance and convege around your boat makeing the use of top water lures impossible at times. Gators the size of your jon boat are a common sight down their as they have lost their fear of man. The water is a real dark tainted colour and I like useing a blue back rattle trap and a chartruse spinnerbait, and my favorite worm which is a Creame worm with a white tail. I use the 8" ones and had to special order these from Creame in Texas. That tail seems to really get there attention in that tainted water. If things slow up use the b-b's inside the worm to make noise. I've used this rig to beat my brother a many time.
Goood Luck.
