Position upstream or alongside the creek mouth to drift baits/lures into the seam. Topwaters work well in the first 30 minutes of outgoing; soft plastics later as bait drops deeper. State tide guide pages have outgoing timing.

What is the best time to fish an outgoing tide at a creek mouth?
The first two hours of outgoing tide produce the most aggressive bite at creek mouths. Falling water flushes bait, shrimp, and crabs out of the marsh into the main channel where predators stack at the mouth. The bite typically slows as water gets too thin in the creek.
