Cabelas has some decent entry level gear, I would look on their website of your okay with ordering. The problem is you'll probably need a 7-8 weight for redfish and something a little smaller like a 5 weight for bass. You could probably do it all with about a 6 weight though. I've only been fly fishing for about a year but I use my dads old rods/tying materials.

I used to duck hunt at the very back of this small lake. I used to put my canoe in at the bend in the horseshoe drive closest to the water. If I remember there is a tree right on the edge of the water there. Then I'd pull the truck up and park in the 1st parking spots. The main part of the lake is deep. It doesn't get shallow ubtil you get to the back near the cypress trees in the middle. From there it is from 2 to 5 feet deep. Becareful of gators and snakes back there. Also near the south west corner of the lake is a small channel that leads into the marsh toward the river. I know during duck season this is part of where the marsh club duck hunts, but don't know about the summer.
