Experience the Florida Panhandle from the sand with Beyond the Salt LLC, a veteran-owned and faith-based surf fishing guide serving Mexico Beach.

Your guide, Brandon, served more than 20 years in the U.S. Air Force and created Beyond the Salt to help families, beginners, experienced anglers, and fellow veterans slow down, enjoy God’s creation, and make lasting memories together.

Everything will be set up before you arrive. Your trip includes four surf rods, an additional casting setup, bait, tackle, beach chairs, shade, bottled water, and light snacks. Brandon handles the preparation and heavy lifting, so your family can walk onto the beach and start fishing.

Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter pompano, redfish, black drum, whiting, Spanish mackerel, bluefish, flounder, sharks, and other Gulf Coast species. No particular catch can be guaranteed, but Brandon will use current conditions, scouting reports, and proven surf-fishing techniques to give your group the best possible experience.

Children and first-time anglers are always welcome. Brandon provides patient, hands-on instruction covering casting, bait presentation, reading the surf, fighting fish, safe handling, and local fishing practices.

Guests should dress for the weather and bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and any additional food or drinks they would like. Anyone required by Florida law to possess a saltwater fishing license must obtain one before the trip.

Come enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly fishing experience and discover what lies Beyond the Salt.

    Great Shore Fishing Trip

    3-Hour Family Surf Fishing on June 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an awesome experience with Beyond The Salt LLC! Brandon put us on multiple species of fish from the shore, and we even caught several sharks. The trip was well organized, professional, and a lot of fun from start to finish. As a veteran, Brandon brings a great attitude, extensive knowledge, and plenty of helpful shore fishing techniques and tips that made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a fun and successful shore fishing adventure, I highly recommend Beyond The Salt LLC!

    Great experience!

    3-Hour Family Surf Fishing on July 24, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Our youngest son requested a fishing trip for his 10th birthday and this experience didn’t disappoint. While the warm waters kept us from a quantity of fish, the quality of our time was spot on. Brandon shared his knowledge and advice for future trips. As a novice fisherman to the gulf, our son is even more passionate about becoming an avid fisherman here and in our local waters back home!

    Great for Novice Saltwater Fishermen

    3-Hour Family Surf Fishing on October 17, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Even though the weather provided rough fishing conditions, Brandon was very knowledgable and helped our family understand coastal fishing. We are planning to book him again in the spring and hope for better weather and more bites. We appreciate the time he spent with us!

My passion for the water spans a lifetime, shaped by a 20-year military career that allowed me to fish all over the world in some of the most diverse fisheries – from the glacial waters of Alaska and the rugged coast of California to the unique river systems of Germany. Travel where you want, but there is still nothing quite like the pristine waters and incredible fishery of the Florida Panhandle. As a veteran and a dedicated shore-based angler specializing in surf fishing, I have spent years mastering the surf here to target premier species like Pompano, Redfish, and Black Drum. What drives me in this business is the opportunity to share that excitement with others. Fishing isn't just about the catch – it's about the connection, the strategy, and the memories made on the sand. Whether you are a seasoned angler looking to dial in specific surf tactics or a family eager to introduce your kids to the thrill of hooking into a hard-fighting Pompano, my goal is to provide a fun, professional, and easy experience. I take pride in bringing the same precision and dedication from my military service onto the beach, ensuring my guests are put right in the middle of the action and leave with an unforgettable day on the coast.

    Had the pleasure of hosting Matt and Preston from the St. Louis area for a memorable surf fishing session. The conditions definitely kept us on our toes this trip! We battled through some unpredictable summer rain showers and navigated a heavy influx of June grass, but the team stayed focused and we were still able to find success. It was an action-packed session with some great shark hookups, making all the effort worth it. Beyond the fishing, it was an honor to share the beach with a fellow veteran; Matt is a Marine, and there is nothing quite like sharing stories with a brother-in-arms while working the surf. Even when the conditions are challenging, we’re out there putting in the work to get our clients on fish. Looking forward to the next one!
