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

4 Hour Day/Night Beach Casting
We had a group of 10 come to Jacksonville for the Chiefs/Jaguars game and wanted to try something a little different in our free time and found Brandon and Florida Man Surf Fishing. Reached out to Brandon and got the details, etc. Of course we wanted to catch something big, but mostly were looking for action. Messaged with Brandon the week leading up to our trip and got location info, he was very accommodating with scheduling and our Uber delays. He provided an iced down cooler for our the drinks we brought as well as all the gear and necessary bait. Brandon did a great job of educating us and explaining what he was doing and why (our group is a midwest lake and river fishing crew). The waves and the tide made fishing a little difficult, but again Brandon made sure we caught fish during our trip (about 25 total). Everyone had a blast and we would 100% recommend Brandon if you are looking for some beach fishing.

3 Hour Day/Night Beach Casting
Brando was awesome!! We had 8 boys, ages 8-12, and 3 adults. He was early, got us all set up and was awesome with all the boys! He knew alllll the preteen things to chat with them about, the lingo and all. EVERYONE caught fish! Just as the trip was about times, we us a shark!! So so so cool! Everyone who wanted took turns with Brando reeling it in and bringing to shore! It was a great experience to get summer break going! All the boys walked away saying “BEST BEST BEST morning ever!” “Totally Fire Bro!” “This morning was Lit!” Highly recommend!! Will totally use Brando again for surf fishing! Just next time for big game!

Brandon was awesome! He was incredibly accommodating and came to us for a great fishing experience from the beach. He knew the area well, had a great plan of attack, and had things set up when we arrived. He brought positive energy and real knowledge to the afternoon and did a wonderful job with my two sons (14 and 11), who both love fishing on boats, but by the end of their time with Brandon, they were ready to get surf fishing gear so they could do it on their own. They landed a bunch of whiting and a couple of rays - the day was a blast and Brandon was great to work with. We will be connecting with him the next time we're in town - the boys are already asking to get together with him again soon. Thanks for an outstanding day!

Brandon worked tirelessly to locate the fish. If a place we.stopped along the shore didn’t produce a decent fish, he would recommend moving further down the beach until we caught good fish. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun to be with during our time together. I highly recommend Brandon if you want to experience a great fishing trip in Northeast Florida.

Overnight Beach Shark Fishing
Had an awesome time! Very well mannered around beach Karen’s 😂 Treated me like we’ve know each other for years! Very positive person and 100% would do again. Caught around 6 species and a giant black tip reef shark. Well worth the money. Very well equipped as well. One of the best of many charters I’ve been on in Florida. 10/10.
