Looks as though your going to need a back pack to carry all that with you. I'm sure your going to have a great trip.

I'm on the Clearwater side of your trip. Clearwater Beach is a nice place. Parking can get expensive by the beach (I think its $1.25hr weekdays and $1.50 weekends---Handicap permits can park for 3-4 hours free at meter spots).
Sand Key Park is just south, but the beach as been replenished all the way south to St.Pete beach. Theres also Ft. DeSoto Park (but folks say Sits been picked clean), but I'm sure thats not true. I don't know of too much by Tampa itself, but Clearwater isn't to far. Beach's over here have the manatees on the move, They tend to head towards warmer waters now from the gulf.
If you go in any rivers--Watch for the gators.

Have Fun.

Camelbak, gotta stay hydrated.

Advil, Sunscreen lotion and Bug Spray. Maybe some long range wasp spray for peskey DOGS.

And a sand blower ....

 

[CaptJohn]

Humm... whats a sand blower?

 

[Sandman]

If it was warmer you'd need mirrored sunglasses for watching the Thongs sunbathe. Camelbak is a great idea and easier to use than my canteen.

Do not forget to take a watch or even better a tide watch or clock. Not only will this help at low tide, but will also be handy for keeping track of battery life. You might want to consider a flashlight. I know that it gets dark awful soon after sunset when daylight saving time kicks in this weekend.

Tell us how it goes.

Good luck,

Looks like you have the most important stuff covered except I'd be replacing that stock shaft with a straight-shaft (Babb or Reilly's)
Happy Huntin.

GaBeaSwpr, me talked with a guy on St. Pete's beach and he was using a 1000 with the Babb straight shaft with Control Guard. It's on my XMAS list! 8)

Wouldn't hurt to take along some muscle liniment... bikini whip-lash hurts like a sonofagun.

Wow! I never get to stumble over something like that! What a find!
