Stephen's Point (Sun Circle Park) Wading Guide
Current conditions at Stephens Point are fair because the light 9 mph south wind is creating a manageable surface chop over the shallow grass flats as the tide begins its slow recession from the early morning high.

Best Bet for Anglers
Wade out to the edge of the seagrass beds and target the sandy potholes using a 1/8 oz gold spoon or a soft plastic paddle tail to entice redfish and seatrout.
Wading Profile
Bottom: Hard Sand / Grass / Razor Oysters. Wading is the primary method here due to shallow approaches.
Local Pro Tip
Wade carefully 150-200 yards out to the 'Hump' (a distinct sandbar/drop-off). In winter, Spanish Mackerel and Bluefish school up here. Target the dark grass patches on an incoming tide.
Tired of wading in the mud and fighting the crowds?
Leave the shoreline behind. Get out to the deep grass flats and passes where the trophy fish actually feed.
