I was wanting to launch the boat there tommorow to fish the bridge, but I noticed it will be low tide. I don't launch there much and wasn't sure about the water depth. Can I make it in and out with 21" of draft on the Mako? Is it any shallower than shoreline?

If you are talking about the ramp that is commonly called the 17th ave boat ramp which is across from the FWC Office then the answer is YES there is plenty of water.
If you are actually talking about the ramps north of the Bayou Texar Bridge you have to watch the channel just to the south of the bridge but there is plenty of water there also.
God Bless and Great Fishing!

If its too shallow, I might try the one over there by the FWC office.

There are some shallow areas at the 3 Mile launch. IF I were you I would watch someone head out first so you can see the route. If you go too far to the west after launching it is shallow. You can see the trench on a calm day.
Fish On!!!

Also, be careful with the ramp on the Gulf Breeze side. I haven't launched there but, have heard that the current can be brutal and there is a concrete wall that can hurt as well!
