i got to destin bridge around 12 pm and sheepshead were everywhere.  i'm talking hundreds!  i only went with 2 dozen live shrimp and i almost limited out, i ended up with 13 huge sheephead.  The water was crystal clear and i could see about 5 fish fighting for the bait everytime i droped my line.  i had a blast.  i ended up giving 8 of them to my co workers and brought home 5.

i found them easier to catch when the water is clearer and on incoming tide.  i've done good everytime i've gone out but better when the water is clearer

 park your car in the parking lot on the island and start walking on the bridge towards destin.  you should see a sign i forget what it says probably no parking or something like that from that sign to the next sign which is where the boats enter.  i don't really know how deep the water is at the first sign it's probably 10feet or so and it just gets deeper as you get closer to destin.
