Panhandle Surf Fishing Guides
Learn the ins-and-outs of catching fish off the beach that won’t break the bank! Fun for the whole family!
We cover 30a through Panama City beach !
You do not have to have any experience fishing. We are happy to take you from whatever experience level you may have to the next level. We will meet you on the beach to provide hands on assistance and share all of our expertise with you.
Our surf fishing charters can be scheduled for various times throughout the day. I can/ will recommend the best time slots.

2 Hour Trip- Surf Fishing (AM)
Great shore trip!
We enjoyed our trip — it was so nice to be on a beautiful beach with something for everyone to do. Some enjoyed the water, some fished, some threw a football and some just relaxed. We had to work around weather, but communication was awesome, so we always knew what was going on. We caught some good fish - Pompano, Lady and Blue. It was slower than at other times due to weather, but was worth doing and a great family adventure.

5 hour surf fishing charter with Ryan McMahon
We did an afternoon surf fishing charter with Ryan. When we got to the beach he already had everything set up on the beach and had lines in the water. All we had to do is bring some beach chairs and drinks. Ryan is very personable, has high quality equipment, he has a good knowledge of the local area, and catches fish. We caught 9 keeper pompano during our afternoon charter and had a great time. I highly recommend booking a trip with Ryan if you're staying in the Destin or Ft. Walton Beach area of the Florida Panhandle.

HIGHLIGHT OF OUR TRIP
10/10 recommend! Ryan gave our crew of 10, one of the best experiences we have had during our vacation. Kept an eye on the weather and went above and beyond for our fishing trip. The kids were running from pole to pole. Great conversation. Recommended someone to clean our fish for us also. We will definitely come back to the area and will contact Ryan again!

Awesome fishing experience!
We did a 4 hour surf fishing trip with Ryan in December. It’s the first time we had ever tried surf fishing and we will definitely do it again and definitely with Ryan. He was such an amazing and professional guy! You can’t ask for a better day than fishing on a beautiful beach and catching lots of fish. He gave us the name of a great guy who cleaned all our Pompano and a couple days later we had a local restaurant fix it up for us. It was wonderful!
