with the reports for trout not being just right...and the wife telling me with her schedule that our planned fishing get away really needs to happen this week...I was looking at shifting my trout trip back a couple of weeks and using this week to try something I have been wanting to do for a while...fish for sheepshead in the Destin area.....I was just wondering if anyone here has fished the bridges for sheepshead??? maybe had recommendations on bait stores (fiddler crabs) and lodging options....

any and all input would be appreciated....

already spoke to half hitch....said his shrimp sells out by mid day and hasnt't had fiddlers for some time and didnt expect any soon....Salty bass and pat's both have fiddlers and live shrimp and didnt seem "annoyed" by someone new to the area asking questions....already committed to this weekend so I will be either under the Destin or mid-bay bridge until sunday mid morning with my bay boat....

I will try and post up my results early next week
