Default Kite spots North of Tampa?

I was looking on Google Earth for some kite spots North of Tampa.

I've rode at Pine Island and thought it was one of the best spots ever!
I have also tried to kite there during a super high tide, and got skunked due to the lack of a launch and rigging area.
(I rode here the day after Hurricane Jean passed through in '04!! It was a strong South wind, EPIC!! I rode a '02 Cabrinha Black Tip with the new DART system, not so epic)

Anyway,

I noticed Green Key was the next kiteable area down the coast from Pine Island. Is the place off limits? Is it a worthwhile spot?

The next kiteable spot towards Tampa is Fred Howard Park. Looked Unreal! But upon a Google search, I noticed the spot was off limits!?!? Is this still true?

Or, are the best spots over there around St. Petersburg/Tampa Bay?

Thank you for your responses!

B_leightly pre-warned me on getting flammed for mentioning my kite-at-the-time. :-D

Thank you Skyway Scott! Your right, not many responses @ EK forum

Thanks again, I know some spots are secret!
