This should suit you just find in the inshore marshes, but you may want to do some extra preventative maintenance after running your boat in salt water like flushing the motor with freshwater.

All of my fishing gear is freshwater (& cheap). Will my spinning rod & reels with 6lb line be sufficient?

I'd recommend 20# to 30# test braided line to start out. You also might want to freshwater rinse all of your reels as soon as you get off the water and get home since you mentioned that they were cheaper.
