3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 5:00 PM on June 26, 20261 adult6 children

There were a total of 6 kids for this fishing excursion. It was hard to find a Charter to set up with this many people without paying an exhorbitant price. This “on shore” fishing experience is the way to go! Ryan answered my request within minutes and set us up for the next day with Brooks who is amazing with kids! With the on shore experience your kids have more to do than just fish which is great for that short attention span!! Thisnis the best setup by far if you are looking for somewhere to take a large!

Great time!
3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 6:15 AM on June 2, 20267 adults

Captain Ryan was great, and made the experience a lot of fun for my son and his 6 friends! The communication with Captain Ryan was great! Although he was willing to come to our house and location, the water at his location was a little clearer, so we decided ti go to him. He had everything set up when we arrived. The boys caught quite a few Pompano, and our total was 20, believe. We threw a couple of others back, and also caught a lady fish as well as what we think was a blue fish. The blue fish got off at the end. The boys took the Pompano to AJ’s for the “Hook and Cook” the next day for lunch. Again, we had a great time with Captain Ryan! He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend booking with him!

3 Hour Surf trip with Capt. Ryan
3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 7:00 AM on May 19, 2026

Ryan had everything setup and ready to go when we arrived. He showed me a lot about how his poles were rigged and his techniques to cast a long surf rod. After we caught a few pompano in the first two hours, the fishing conditions turned for the worse. Ryan offered us the opportunity to cut short the trip by one hour with a discount. We took him up on the offer since the odds of more catch were low. When done he did filet one fish for us, which was all we wanted, and he had that for dinner the next day. Pompano is excellent eating! Overall, a great experience and I learned a lot about surf fishing in this region.

Amazing time surf fishing!
3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter on March 1, 2026

We had the time of our lives on this trip. Our guide Ryan, was very professional and knowledgeable about what he does. He’s very easy to get along with, and we’ll share information about the area as well, Ryan had all of the gear already set up prior to us showing up, so that way we got the entire time of actually fishing. We love that all the Gear was provided for us so we didn’t have to bring anything except for our good attitudes and energy to reel in some fish! This was the best part of our vacation, and we will definitely be doing this again!

Ryan is the man!
3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 7:30 AM on June 27, 202610 adults

Did a bachelor trip with 10 of my friends, hired Ryan to do surf fishing. Needless to say, he provided everything and more - we caught fish, had great laughs and Ryan went out of his way to make sure we had a good time and went home with some Pompano. Highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a great time and great fishing day.
