Make the most of your time in the Daytona Beach 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, 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

    Catch of a lifetime

    6 Hour Trip –Big Game Shark Fishing on July 30, 2026 • 7 adults • 5 children

    Brandon was great from the beginning. Rods were already set up and ready to roll when we got there. We were able to watch him deploy the big shark rods by drones which the boys loved and he explained everything in great detail to them as well as showed them how to operate every rod and and answered all their questions. He kept the rods out and loaded with fresh bait the whole trip. He never stopped and we ended up landing a huge tarpon. A personal bucket list fish for myself. I would highly recommend him to anyone for a beach fishing trip.

    very good learning experience very good

    4 Hour Trip – Beach Casting on July 11, 2026 • 10 adults

    Captain Brandon and his crew were excellent. They were baiting those lines as quickly as possible after a catch. We hooked a black shark, but we weren’t experienced enough to get him but we still were very excited about the one that got away. My six-year-old great grandson out fished us all. And reeled and 10 fish!!! thank you Captain Brandon for an excellent outing for my family during our family reunion! When we return, I will be booking with you again

    Incredible beach fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Beach Casting on August 28, 2026 • 1 adult

    Absolutely incredible experience fishing for sharks and other fish with Brandon. An amazing guide who worked his butt off to make things happen. Caught lots of small fish as well as 3 sharks. Also lost a tarpon and a huge shark due to being a wimpy English man. Would recommend to anyone who want to target big fish from the beach. Big tip: listen to Brandon on location and timings as he is the expert!

    Amazing Guide Ensured we Caught a Shark

    6 Hour Trip –Big Game Shark Fishing on June 8, 2026 • 8 adults

    Captain Brandon was great. very friendly and knowledgeable. He had multiple rods which allowed us to fish for smaller fish while waiting on the big shark rods. He let us stay an extra hour for free when we hadn’t caught anything. We then left and 10 minutes later he called us with a shark on the line so we were able to drive back and catch a nurse shark.
