Good Wading Flats

  I used to spend some time fishing around Tampa and St. Pete, but it's been several years.
  
  The best place I waded in that area was Weedon Island Preserve. There were days I would absolutely spank the reds in the fall with live shrimp under a Cajun Thunder. Caught some on gulp shrimp and DOA Cals as well. Also caught a few trout and some snook as well. It's about a mile walk to the water from behind the educational building if I remember correctly. Bring bug spray or cover up as much of the walk is a trail through the mangrove forest.
  
  Hope that helps and let me know how you do! If you need more specifics from there, I could maybe try to drop you a pin or draw you a map. Good luck!

  Cypress Point Park at the end of Cypress street.
  Picnic Island park 
  American Legion Flats off Prescott st and Westshore.
