Is it possible to get a 14ft jon boat out to the pensacola beach pier? Where would be the best place to launch? I heard sherman cove. Someone told me if I hug the shore around fort pickens I could make it but I am not sure I never been there but I heard it's real rough. I just want to fish far out from the pier and want to know if its possible to get out there. Any Suggestions?

That's a LOOOOONG ride in a 14' jonboat. Don't think I would try that one with out some one in a bigger boat following me, and you might lose your ride when you take a good wave.

I didn't think we are allowed to get that close to the pier? I can remember surfing close to it and the sheriff's dept. was up on the pier with a loud speaker and told us to meet him on the beach. $25 fine. I have a 15' Jon boat and I would'nt touch that, but if you do, good luck.
