Here are some of the boat ramps I like to depart from depending on what the fishing trends are at the time.

Tampa Bay is an 400 Square mile Estuary with 4 major rivers contributing to it. There are over 15  Aquatic preserves and Parks  In the bay area that help protect habitat for marine life and birds. The average depth is 12 feet but there are miles of  shallow grass flats  and  Mangrove shoreline and islands. Tampa  Bay has 40 miles of shipping channels that are as deep as 52 feet with Limestone rock edges that hold a lot of grouper and snapper . There are several artificial reefs  in the bay and we are fortunate to have environmental groups Like Tampa Bay Watch ( https://tampabaywatch.org ) and C.C.A.( https://ccaflorida.org )  that work on projects to improve and protect marine habitat.
