No, we were in kayaks, a tan Redfish and a yellow Ocean Kayak, and we launched about 9:30 in the morning on the West end of the Destin bridge. We both fished on the bay side of the bridge up to the large boat pass through and then fished on the Gulf side of the bridge back across almost to the shore on Okaloosa Island. I am really surprised that you didn't see 2 nuts in rainsuits paddling their butts off in that wind and current!!
From the sounds of things I am using the wrong rig for fishing in the bridge area. I have been using a Carolina rig but with a much heavier bullet sinker and a larger hook. I tried both J hooks and circle hooks to no avail. I will make up some lighter rigs and see what I can do with them this weekend, weather allowing.
Thanks for the tips.

scspecv22If you happen to be Oriental, we saw you park just up from where Dave and I were loading our kayaks yesterday. You went up on the bridge and then came back to your car for something that you forgot. We were going to give you another 2 dozen shrimp but you got back to the bridge before we could get back to the parking lot and yell at you. </DIV><NOSCRIPT>
