Thanks for all the tips. I've got enough to get a good start. That Lake Taleguin (sp?) looks fantastic but Yahoo maps show it 148 miles from Destin and I doubt I get that far this year. If I like Destin, maybe I'll bring my boat down next year and stay a little longer. (Spent the day shoveling snow as we are under a Blizzard Warning and drifts are getting to be a problem. - This is exactly why I am "getting out of Dodge" this winter!)
Thanks JSC for all the local info - I will definatly try some of your spots. If I get a chance I'll follow up sometime with a report on how I did.
Have a great Christmas/New Years!
