Florida Man Surf Fishing – Jacksonville
Make the most of your time in the Jacksonville area and go fishing on the beach with Florida Man Surf Fishing. With your knowledgeable surf fishing guide Brandon at the reigns, you'll benefit from 10+ years of local knowledge and expertise.
These waters are known for Whiting, Pompano, Spotted Seatrout, Bluefish, Hammerhead Shark, Lemon Shark, Bull Shark, Tiger Shark, Tarpon, Ray, Redfish, Narrow-barred Spanish Mackerel, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself!
Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! We ask that you bring anything you feel necessary to enjoy the desired amount of time at the beach. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!
Before coming to the beach, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the guide. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
If you're interested in a trip, please, do not hesitate to reach out and ask any and all questions you may have. We are more than happy to answer them. We operate with honesty and transparency. Our main goals are to of course catch fish but almost as importantly TO HAVE FUN!
Fishing from the beach has many benefits. My favorite is that there is room for everyone! However, a group exceeding 10 eager fishermen or women can be a lot for one guide to manage. To ensure everyone has the best experience imaginable, a second, or maybe even a third guide may need to be employed depending on the circumstances. Therefore the hourly rate would be raised accordingly to an agreed upon amount prior to the scheduled trip to accommodate the extra help needed. No group is too big or too small don't hesitate to ask. As always, tips are greatly appreciated

Felipe Le Cato5.0Verifiedamazing time - Brandon is awesome
3 Hour sunrise/sunset Beach Casting on July 6, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrentook my younger sons fishing with Brandon, he is an amazing fisherman with vast knowledge and experience. Brandon showed my sons how to fish effectively, with each catch provided details on the fish and its attributes on how to dehook for catch and release. The one's we did keep were excellent and my youngest son is ready to return. Highly recommend fishing with Brandon.

Kristina Henderson5.0VerifiedFirst Saltwater Fishing Experience
3 Hour sunrise/sunset Beach Casting on July 1, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had a great time with Brandon. He coordinated a good location to meet at sunrise, and had the rods already set up when we got there. We caught plenty of fish such as whiting, pompano, and spot. He's funny, has a laid-back demeanor, and very knowledgeable about all types of fishing, not just surf.
Jose Deras5.0VerifiedWe had a great time.
3 Hour sunrise/sunset Beach Casting on March 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childI would recommend this fishing trip! Surf fishing , a lot of room to move around, more chances to hook them! Learned a lot, the crew was very knowledgable. I will be booking another trip in the future! This trip is good for small or large groups. Perfect for kids. Bring your snacks and drinks. The fishing equipment and bait all provided. We caught many fish small to medium. Definetly worth the money
Kevin BehmRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSurf fishing smash
4 Hour Sunrise/Sunset Beach Casting on November 15, 2025 • 7 adults • 4 childrenWe did a 4 hr surf fishing trip with Brandon near the Ritz on Amelia island and it was amazing. There were 9 of us with 6 kids and there was plenty of action for everyone. Brandon brought a ton of positive energy and was great encouraging/teaching the kids. I couldnt have asked for a better afternoon. Next time I’m in north Florida were hitting him up for a shark trip!
Tyler DunaganRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat for all ages and interest
4 Hour Sunrise/Sunset Beach Casting on March 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 childrenBrandon had everything set up before we got there and instantly engaged our kids in the process. We caught 22 Whitening in a short amount of time and he cleaned all the fish for us to take home and eat. Meeting on the beach made it possible for my seasick wife to not miss out on the family fun! Brandon was fantastic!
Absolutekleen Jones5.0Brandon was Great.
4 Hour Sunrise/Sunset Beach Casting on March 15, 2026It’s a pleasure when you fish with someone who loves their job. I can’t say enough. Super informative with the kids keeping them interested. Definitely we will be using his services again. No brainer if you have a few dependents (littles). First time in my life my hands don’t smell after fishing. I’m so dam excited.
