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!

2 Hr trip with Ryan
2 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 2:30 PM on December 22, 2025
This was our first beach guided fishing trip and it was a trip to remember. It was myself, my son and my sister, her husband and 3 children. Ryan was an awesome guide! He was very informative, attentive and great with the kids. We were able to look for seashells and watch the dolphins in between the bobs of the poles! He was ON IT when it came to watching the lines and baiting them. He put us ON! We caught blue fish. We were the only ones catching fish on the beach that day which made it that much more exciting. It was an absolute amazing experience and we all would highly recommend booking with him. We would definitely book Ryan again.

Surf Fishing in December Rain
3 Hour Surf Fishing Charter - 7:30 AM on December 7, 2025
We had a fun and successful trip yesterday with Ryan. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. He already had everything set up and ready as soon as we arrived and the fish started biting as we were walking up. We were on to the pompano and they were biting all morning, even in the rain. We ended the day only one fish shy of our limit. We were very pleased with our experience. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot from Ryan. I highly recommend this charter, and Ryan as a guide

we only caught one fish, but that’s how fishing goes. We appreciated the quick and friendly communication, the local expertise and the beautiful beach sunset photos we captured.
