Well after getting into saltwater fishing I finally decided to try my luck wading. Fished in little sarasota bay by Blackburn point bridge with frozen finger mullet, live shrimp, and gulp shad tails. My live shrimp under a cork was promptly hit by a school of tailing reds, none of which took a real hit at it, preferring to instead nibble away at 4 of my shrimp. I waded/swam over to a mangrove island and cast my gulp shad into the shallows and bumped on the bottom. On my 4th cast some thing hit my lure hard about 3-4 feet away from me. Found a 20-inch flounder, followed up by 2 more doormats and a snook! All in all, a very good intro to wade fishing, especially since flounder is one of my favorite fish to eat.
