Stephen's Point (Sun Circle Park) Wading Guide

Best Bet for Anglers
Work the deep edges of the turtle grass flats and sandy potholes using a 1/8 oz jig head with a paddle tail, focusing on the transition zones as the water recedes toward the evening low tide.
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.
