Redfish, Trout, Tarpon and Snook from the yak definitely peak my interest, but I know there are locations far north of Central/Southern Florida where I could target them in a backwater area.
Any suggestions? Again, I am leaning towards somewhere south of NJ, as I will be getting my cool water fix from late October through ice out here at home.

I would avoid the Indian River right now with water quality issues. October is the start of the mullet run in South Florida. Tarpon, snook, jacks, sharks etc will all be smashing bait from Palm Beach to Biscayne Bay. Great fishing. Also, Flamingo (southern tip of FL) is a great kayaking spot (bring a gps) for snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks, redfish and seatrout.
