Sorry about the lack of response....people must be out fishin'. As far as Destin goes, I have had tremendous luck on the West Jetty of Destin (the longer of the two). It is a hike getting out there and frankly, can be tricky, if not down right dangerous if you are not paying really close attention to where your feet are. However, if can walk out there or pehaps rent a kayak and yak out there (just tie it up somehow), it can be very productive. I have seen or caught, Spanish, Kings, Tarpon, Mahi-Mahi, Amberjack and Sharks. Take a couple of set ups and your cell phone just in case. Other than that, you can try the beach for Pompano and of course, you can always go to Fort Walton and the Okaloosa County Pier. Hope this helps!

       You can usually get spanish early in the morning.  Hardtails and ladyfish are there almost all of the time.  Redfish can be hit or miss.  Once in july and one year in Aug we were catching big bulls on an incoming tide on topwater baits.  I caught ten fish over 20lbs some near 30, all on chug bugs, in about 3 hrs.  The jetty can be great.

      The sharks sometimes move right into the pass and I have seen 6 footers within 10ft of the rocks.  Right at dusk is best.

      I don't know if they are there yet, but the black snapper get so thick you can't help but catch them, if you know how.  Just freeline a live shrimp about 10 or 15 feet from the rocks and let it sink down a little, bang, snapper.  No leader, no weight, just a little circle hook tied to 10lb or 12lb line.  I like to hook the shrimp through the bottom of the last segment of the tail.  Doing it like this makes catching these little snapper super easy, instead of driving you crazy trying to catch them on minnows or cut bait.

Hope this helps.

If you want to catch fish, I would head to the jetties at sunrise or around sunset. Went a few days ago, got cut off on something, got two spanish, bunch of ladyfish. But you can catch just about anything there. Look at the tides.

Have been to both jetties, like they said, the west jetty is a trip, would recomend the east jetty to start. There is public access on Gulfshore Drive, almost to the end, "Osteen Beach Access".  For the west jetty, park at the south west end of the Destin Bridge.

This is the spur jetty, on the east side of the pass on the way out to the east jetty.  When the tide is running out, good place for spanish, ladyfish, etc. 

The east jetty. I have always had better luck on the south west end. The surf side is good for pompano just outside the breakers.

The west jetty.

Google earth it and you will have a good idea of the distance involved.
