There should be bait/shrimp moving into the bay this time of year. Look for the birds and under them are usually trout. If you start catching small silver trout, go to a heavier bait and let it sink to the bottom where the bigger ones are. Like the other guys said, also-just inside the bridge on Fort Walton side, best time is when the tide is moving in or out, just be sure the water is moving and try the edges and holes where there is grass and sand. Redfish and trout will lay in ambush. Mirrolures, topwaters in low light and redfish spinners and jigs anytime.
Good luck. Wish I was there!!!
