Reverse is pro. I come in and just use reverse as most new boaters just slam away at the dock.

I grew up on upper Tampa Bay (Rocky Creek, Double Branch, Sweetwater).

I'd start out with a jon boat on low tides till you learn it.
Then, as other's have already suggested, join a club untill you really learn it.
