I know of some areas that are good for wade fishing for redfish. They are around the barrier islands in the Gulf near Gulfport, MS. I’ve never been there but I was told about it by someone who lives there.
Most of the areas your talking about you have to have a boat or yak. I’d like to hear of any establishments that actually rent kayaks nearby good fishing. To get to most of the good fishing you almost have to hire a guide. 3 days will run you $1600.00+ At least if you pay that you should be into fish.
