Aransas Bay first timer

I am going to fish Aransas Bay for my first time in a couple of weeks. Can anyone give me some good information on safety and what I need to pay attention to while I'm boating in this Bay. I have a 21 foot Cajun Center console boat. Any tips on how to fish the oyster reefs for speckled trout, redfish, flounder.Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
