Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing

Pensacola, United States
7 reviews
Panhandle Salt was born out of a love for land-based fishing. While surf fishing in Perdido Key, I often found myself answering questions from curious visitors about my techniques and approach. That curiosity inspired me to turn my passion into a business. Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing is a one-of-a-kind operation you won't find anywhere else. We have a physical shop where we create and sell our own surf fishing tackle, collaborate with other guides in the area, and share our beach adventures through our active YouTube channel. We're a family-run business, consisting of my wife, son, and myself. Our growth has even allowed us to create job opportunities for other land-based guides in the area. Follow our journey on YouTube and all major social media platforms to see firsthand what Panhandle Salt is all about. See you on the beach!

    Tough fishing, great experience

    3.5 Hour Trip – Surf Fishing • 4 adults • 1 child

    Took the family out with Donnie this morning, had a great trip. The bite was tough and something was cleaning our hooks off but Donnie taught us a bunch and we were able to pull in a small shark.

    Reported catch:
    Blacktip Shark
    Response from Charter operator

    Glad to hear it, Chris. Donnie is top notch. Ya'll were not the only ones with a tough bite. I had multiple angkers in and out of the shop this morning with the same story. Thanks for booking. Hopw to see ya'll again.

    Surf Fishing and Blane Roberts- A Perfect Combo

    3.5 Hour Trip – Surf Fishing • 1 adult

    A note to Fishing Booker... please promote more trips likes like this. Not everyone who enjoys fishing can go out on a boat. Blane delivers more than expected for this under-served market. He's got the experience, equipment and the ability to read the current conditions for optimal fishing results. I was very fortunate to find him- he helped me greatly during my brief trip to the Flora-Bama- providing advice on where to fish from shore and what gear would be best. He even gave some pretied rigs to use for the rest of my trip. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions we were able to land a few fish including a cow nosed ray. Blane was super professional and delivered more than expected. I would recommend his services to anyone in the area.

    Thanks, Matt. Hope to see you again. Keep up with the tournament coming up on social media. It's a cool ride to follow.
