Unfortunately, if you're into SeaDoo's or boating, 30-A isn't convenient at this point in time. Kayaks are your best bet, and they're great exercise, I might add. You'll have to go to Destin or PC for power boating activities. That is, until our plans for development on the bay come to fruition. Unfortunately, our last visit to look at property on the bay felt like a "Deliverance" experience. My daughter and husband started humming the "Dueling Banjos" theme song. We were afraid that we city folks would get fried for lunch by the trailer occupants who were giving us the evil eye.

Silly fool! That was not the bay. Twas Juniper Lake.

I sense that your thesis was "borrowed".

Deliverance was in Jawja, a state devoid of football and front teeth.

Perhaps you were thinking of the little known movie "Vernon," which took place in a little town north east of here.

There are a couple of guys that are renting jet skis off of Old 98 - right by Whales Tail and Pompano Joe's

Please remember that it is ILLEGAL to run a jet ski at more than idle speed 500 ft or closer to ANY shoreline in Florida, and where posted, STAY OUT. Fines are incredibly high for stupidity. If you get in trouble, save yourself not the jet-ski (experience speaking!). Insure your jet-skis or any boat BEFORE your trip as they tend to disappear on a daily basis (experience speaking again!) - lock it or lose it - and not just a regular lock but a full fitting cover-type lock that covers the trailer hitch so they can't just loosen the bolt and slip it on their "cheater" ball (the same experience, part 2). If you do lose your boat or jet-skis look around the construction sites down, especially by the park.

I think someone forgot to tell the 20 or so people riding personal watercraft in very close proximity to land in the Destin pass today and yesterday at wide open speeds. That entire area is just waiting for some serious accidents. It looks much prettier at 7am than at 3pm.

Usually, I find using a 12oz sinker to cast at Jetski will get them to slow down when they are near my fishing hole.

I bet a 3oz sinker would knock someone off of a jet ski, so I cannot imagine a 12 oz.'er. That would be like getting hit by a bottle of Dolly Light.
