Angling from the Destin Jetties Amazing fishing can be had from the twin jetties that guard the East Pass channel from the Gulf of Mexico. To get to the end of the jetties, you need to step from one car-sized boulder to the next, with no smooth walkway to navigate. Most anglers will tell you it’s worth it. With the daily tidal changes, the jetties are the perfect spot for catching bluefish, flounder, grouper, king and Spanish mackerel, redfish, sheepshead, trout and many kinds of baitfish.
