Stephen's Point (Sun Circle Park) Wading Guide

Best Bet for Anglers
Blind-cast a heavy search bait like a 1/2 oz silver spoon along the edges of the deeper channels to locate speckled trout hiding from the surface noise.
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.
