Going fishing in Destin

angler204 · 12-13-2009, 03:49 PM

I am heading down to Destin area in a couple of weeks. I always fish out of Orange Beach so I need a little advice. First, where is the best place to launch? Second, is there anywhere online that provides public numbers like Alabama does? Lastly, where is the best place to buy bait that might offer a little advice? I appreciate any help I can get.

Launch - look at ur options on this site - www.fishingdestinguide.comI don't know what your requirements are but Joes is nice, has a washdown, bathrooms,not crowded this time of year at all. It's $10 to launch, on an honor system thru the winter.

Free Numbers andWeather reports- www.florida-offshore.comYou can download the entire GPX file of waypoints if you need to. Most of theGPS numbers from FWC and Okaloosa Co site are on there already.

Bait - Half Hitch is good for bait,&I prefer Tim or Jessfor"advice" over any of the rest oftheir employees. We also really like Harborwalk for bait.
