Ponce park, Or Ponce De Leon park
This a fast moving canal which holds Sheep head, Snook, Spade fish, Red fish, Jacks,
You get the idea there is a lot of fish here.

look at on    

 

 

Just a look at the parking lay out.

The other thing you see in this photo is the flat, you can wade the area that look like sand is really shallow water,
which if you walk out next to the boat channel, Trout, puffers, Flounder, Red Fish, can be caught.
This is a great place to use your fly rod, plenty of room to cast and for the trout, small bright color flies,
go out until the water is just past your knees, then start fishing north "to your right" easy access and good fishing.

Some Pics to show you about Ponce, There is also a bird sanctuary here. and I forgot to get photos of the fishing pier
well it was a rainy days, at least this gives you an Idea of what it looks like.
