Re: Destin Spearfishing

so unless you're coming within the next 18 days, you won't be shooting snapper. At least Red Snapper, which makes up 90% or more of the snapper you'll see. Flounder are easy to kill once spotted but can be quite difficult to spot, especially during the day time. I don't mean to get on a soapbox but it's absolutely horrible what the idiot bureaucrats have done to the private citizen/fisherman. If you will travel west a bit between Pensacola and Navarre there are spots within kayak range. there probably are out of Destin as well, but I don't know them.

do you have a GPS and bottom machine on your Kayak? if so here's you a crap load of numbers that should give you ample opportunity

Remember, to check the open seasons, those village idiots change them on virtually a daily basis but the 3 major players that I'd expect you to see are:
1) Red Snapper (closes July 11)
2 Triggerfish (closed with no known re-open date)
3) Greater Amberjack (closed)

sorry I didn't have a more positive outlook for you
