Just got back this past weekend from Destin. We went the party boat route this time. Caught some nice snapper, but lost some very big fish due to the stupidity of a couple of morons from Ohio beside me. They even stole our bait we caught the night before and brought with us. If you have time I found a nice little fishing hole under the Destin bridge on the Fort Walton side. Using my freshwater setup with 6 lb test, fish with fresh shrimp and toss it at the pylons of the bridge. Once you get past the Pinfish the Mangrove snapper will be waiting, most will be right at legal size (10 inch, 5 per day) and will fight like a smallmouth. Also in the same area fish the grass beds with live shrimp towards the Coast Guard station for bull Reds and big Trout. The fishing will be best early and late in the day as the area is popular swimming spot.
