Weedon is as over fished as the Mexican Riviera known as Gandy Blvd. That whole area has got a fishing line every 20 ft. Maybe stick with Davis Island or some where else.
As for me my fishing grounds are pretty wide spread so if one spot is being over fished there are others I can try. It's like your business; be sure to diversify.

Weedon has gotten real slow over the past couple of years, I've actually found the south side about 100-200 yds off the shore line to be the best for me @ any tide, for trout and reds, when I had my small boat was able to drop the trolling motor and get into the no motor zone I never really had much luck, few reds here and there but not worth the effort!

Only time I've fished at Weedon and it was productive was when I went with a buddy of mine last year. Here's a video of some of the reds we caught.

Funny you should ask that. I grew up down there. I only recently moved to the Tampa area about 3 years ago. The best spot for fishing is palma sola bay. You can kayak there as well.
Below is a top secret map I'll share for the simple reason I'm a very nice guy.
