It's the right time for folks in my neck of the woods to be sucker fishing. But the creek is too high to put in a wire. You make a pen with 2X2 wire, leaving a gap on the downstream side. When the sun goes down, the {Redhorse} suckers start upstream to spawn. You will hear them slashing in the pen, then you ease in and close the gap. Late February and early March is the main sucker fishing season. It is also high water season, so it's been three years since I've had a wire in the creek. You can also snatch hook them, or catch them in a gill net.
Of course most visitors tend to want to do the charter boats out of Destin. I can't see why people don't like wading cod deep in a cold ass creek catching fish with their hands that are better plant food than people food.
