The big problem right now is red tide and blue/green algae. There has been massive fish/everything kills down there. If it recovers there is kayaking a plenty. Fishing from shore is mostly limited to piers and bridges due to the shallower water depths on the Gulf/west coast. South Florida is getting VERY over populated, and the fisheries is suffering. My brother in law was a guide down there until red tide hit last year and wrecked everything. Our new governor has taken an aggressive approach to fixxing the water problem's, but it is a complex/complicated issue, and will take millions and lots of work to begin to correct it. The inshore waters of the Gulf in south Florida is some of the most beautiful there is with rivers, bays, harbor's, flats, oyster bars, rock beds, mangroves, and anything else you can think of, but boating traffic is EVERYWHERE! I'm sure it will recover down there, but it's going to take some time.
