I haven't been on the bay in sometime, and that danged Red Tide is killin' me with coughin' and hackin'!!

I don't know if you will find kings in the bay or not. I would probably try the ditch in the intercoastal if I were looking for them though.

There are launch points on the bay from Okaloosa Islang East to Eden Gardens park. Get yourself a TopSpot map of the Destin - Panama City area at Bass Pro Shop and look for them. There are about 10 or 12 marked and some others that are not. I found that, if you are launching a kayak you can sometimes carry/drag it across a vacant bayside lot if you check with the neighbors first about access. Over on the Island you can launch a kayak at a couple of places that are right on some grass beds towards the West end of the island. There is one point where the drag is only a couple of feet to the water! I can't vouch for the fishing in those areas as I fish the East end of the bay mostly.

Good luck and keep us posted on those kings!
