Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing
Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing
The wild waters of Pensacola are calling, and Panhandle Salt is here to take you to them! The stunning scenery here includes nearshore waters, including some spots that only a local can show you.
Around here, it's common to go light tackle fishing, and that's what you can expect on the day of your trip. You can also do a bit of spinning, popping, bottom fishing, and maybe more your guide wants to show you. Blane will provide rods, reels, lures, and live bait.
The fish in these waters include Pompano, Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, Permit, Redfish, Blacktip Shark, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, Whiting, and more, depending on conditions. You're welcome to have any fish within size and bag limits. That's dinner right there!
You're welcome to bring up to 8 anglers on this guided experience. You'll be fishing without a boat, so expect to make your way on foot at least part of the time and come dressed for current weather conditions. Expect to get in touch with Blane before the trip so you know where to meet and how to get there. Your fishing license for the day is not included. You can find out more online, including exceptions that may apply.
Ready to have the whole family unplug? Then you'll be glad to know that kids are more than welcome! It's always wise to bring snacks, bottled water, sunscreen, and sunglasses in any weather conditions. You're encouraged to dress in layers and the proper footwear (if you aren't sure what that means, just ask).
And you're all set! Get in touch with Panhandle Salt below and start planning your trip today.

Took the family out with Donnie this morning, had a great trip. The bite was tough and something was cleaning our hooks off but Donnie taught us a bunch and we were able to pull in a small shark.
Glad to hear it, Chris. Donnie is top notch. Ya'll were not the only ones with a tough bite. I had multiple angkers in and out of the shop this morning with the same story. Thanks for booking. Hopw to see ya'll again.
Thanks, Matt. Hope to see you guys agin!
A note to Fishing Booker... please promote more trips likes like this. Not everyone who enjoys fishing can go out on a boat. Blane delivers more than expected for this under-served market. He's got the experience, equipment and the ability to read the current conditions for optimal fishing results. I was very fortunate to find him- he helped me greatly during my brief trip to the Flora-Bama- providing advice on where to fish from shore and what gear would be best. He even gave some pretied rigs to use for the rest of my trip. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions we were able to land a few fish including a cow nosed ray. Blane was super professional and delivered more than expected. I would recommend his services to anyone in the area.
Thanks, Matt. Hope to see you again. Keep up with the tournament coming up on social media. It's a cool ride to follow.
Blaine was fantastic! We had a great time everyone in the party caught fish and one even caught an estimated 70lbs shark. Great time! If you don’t want to or can’t go out on a boat, this is your fishing experience!!!
We learned a lot from the captain and crew. I would recommend this experiment to anyone.

Panhandle Salt was born out of a love for land-based fishing. While surf fishing in Perdido Key, I often found myself answering questions from curious visitors about my techniques and approach. That curiosity inspired me to turn my passion into a business. Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing is a one-of-a-kind operation you won't find anywhere else. We have a physical shop where we create and sell our own surf fishing tackle, collaborate with other guides in the area, and share our beach adventures through our active YouTube channel. We're a family-run business, consisting of my wife, son, and myself. Our growth has even allowed us to create job opportunities for other land-based guides in the area. Follow our journey on YouTube and all major social media platforms to see firsthand what Panhandle Salt is all about. See you on the beach!
