They fish from the high bridge over the channel there in Destin. Or at least they were when I went there a few years ago. Half Hitch Tackle has stores at each of the piers along the Panhandle Gulf Coast. When I was there, they did not allow fixed anchor slide rigs like used in TX or N. Carolina. Nice Kings are caught freelining live baits off the ends of the piers. You gotta go watch the locals to see what works at any one time or place.
