    The fishing in Destin, FL is awesome, I go down and fish there about every 6 weeks. My next trip down is in a little over a week away, be down there from 8-15th fishing every day. The amount of fish that can be caught there even close is just amazing. I go a little farther out 12, 16 and 20 miles out to different wrecks and the mother load is at 16 and 20 miles out. Good days are 75-100 big fish no bs, snapper, grouper, AJs, sharks etc. Its just amazing.
    Anybody that happens to be down there Sept. 8-15 give me a shout would be happy to take you out.

    Otherwise if down there you don't have a boat or the means to go out get hooked up with someone like JD7.62becuase its an awesome fishery there and you don't have to go that far. Fishing is great year round.

    Living on Lake Cumberland is great, but I can't resist the Destin trips, its too much fun so I leave the stripers to swim another day.

    I will be down in Destin with the family from Oct 6 - 13 and would like to do some fishing while there. Only thing I've ever tried there was fishing from the jetties bc our condo is right near there, and never had too much luck. I would like to find a way to catch some fish while down there as well.

    I fish often offshore with some friends out of Destin and Pensacola. This fall, when the blue water comes back in, we plan on doing a mothership trip and take a few yaks out to troll for some big game like wahoo, billfish and big mahi, maybe even try something crazy and fish for swords at night around the spur.

    We dont do too much bottom fishing on the boats because we can access all of those fish except AJs - well we do occasionally catch AJs but not often - just a couple miles off Navarre Beach for a fraction of the price. We have live bottom spots in seventy to seventy five feet of water that close in. On calm clear days you can just see all of the snapper swimming around the reef and put your bait in front of the one you want.

    DRob, if you are interested in going out with me just shoot me an email at jldowns04 at gmail dot com. If you are staying by the Destin Jetties you are only about thirty minutes from me. October is my favorite time to fish. The water is usually flat and crystal clear. Also the tuna and sailfish tend to come in better in October.

    How's the fishing right now down in Destin area? I am heading down Saturday night for a week. It is a family trip with my parents and my son but would like to do a little fishing while down. I won't have much tackle, if any, considering all my tackle is freshwater specific.
