Fished a bunch out of a kayak from Delacroix/Hopedale/Reggio. That’s a good plan what you have mentioned, the canals have heavy boat traffic but in deeper holes, if you are striking out on hitting the points, get some dead shrimp and soak them in those canals, you’ll load up on blue/channel cats and whatever reds/black drum are in the area. At least as a backup plan.
In a kayak, I would look hard at the Reggio side, specifically the pond to the east of the Delacroix fishing pier. You used to be able to access that through the boat yard there but not sure if they have blocked that off or not. Reds can be there but can be grassy at times. Boats can’t necessarily get in that area and have found them stacked up on the fall there.
I wouldn’t expect “clean” water in Delacroix but that won’t matter much. Would also look at fishing the graveyard points/islands (right across from Sweetwater) seem to always hold some there and easy access with a kayak.
Good luck and send some pics!
