Panhandle Surf Fishing Outfitters 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time with Brooks as our surf fishing guide! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group had a great experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure we were steady reelin’ em in!! It was obvious he really knows what he’s doing. We caught a ton of pompano, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation. We grilled the fish for dinner the next night, and it was absolutely delicious! If you’re thinking about booking a surf fishing trip, I highly recommend Panhandle Surf Fishing Outfitters. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

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!

Ryan was an excellent guide for our surf fishing trip! He was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and was regularly coordinating with us to find the best spot and time that worked for us. Everything was set up for us when we arrived and we didn’t need to bring anything other than a cooler to carry our catch and some chairs. We had multiple long-cast rods with live bait going, and were able to land 14 pompano during a 3-hour charter. We would highly recommend Ryan if you’re looking to enjoy the Florida surf and catch some delicious fish!

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!

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.

Good time catching fish in the surf. Everything was setup and ready to go when we got there. Started catching fish immediately.

Highly recommend! Matt provided great communication and clear expectations from first contact, all the way up to the morning of the trip. Very knowledgeable and great equipment provided. He had us ready to fish the minute we stepped on the beach. Will book again!

Ryan was awesome! He was super informative and helpful to our group of kids learning to fish. We caught 6 Pompanos, which we proceeded to grill for lunch that week. He taught us how to catch and prepare, which was an added bonus. Would highly recommend!!

Incredible morning with Brooks Reid and Ryan McMahon catching bIg ones from the shore! Highly recommend these guys to learn more abour fishing from the surf!! I caught Personal best Red Drum at 26.5” ~30lbs. I had another giant red drum, line popped and fell back rolling #veryfunny Coop got a huge 3.88lb pompano. Also had a 20” 20lb Red and nice Baby Black Drum, 6 Blue Fish (thru back)

Ryan was very professional and knowledgeable about the area. He worked his butt off all morning to put us on fish after a huge storm. Highly recommend using him if you want to catch fish and learn more about surf fishing.
