Panhandle Pursuit Shark Fishing 

Even though we didn’t catch a shark, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ricardo is a true professional who worked hard from start to finish, constantly changing tactics and doing everything possible to put us on fish. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the trip enjoyable the entire time. Fishing is never guaranteed, but having a guide who genuinely gives 100% makes all the difference. I highly recommend Ricardo to anyone looking for a first-class shark fishing charter, and I’d gladly book with him again.

i cannot thank and recommend Panhandle Pursuit more highly. Ricardo is absolutely awesome! From his knowledge and experience, to the way he interacted with my three kids- answering unending questions, sharing stories, and making us feel like family. His wife took amazing photos and video for us. It was just the trip of a lifetime! We left with memories we will never forget and I cannot say thank you enough. If you are looking to shark fish, Ricardo is the man to do it. Book this trip!

Ricardo and his team did a great job. He is patient, knowledgeable, and clearly knows what he's doing when it comes to shore shark fishing. He brought excellent bait and top-notch gear, and he made all 10 of us feel comfortable throughout the trip. He went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience. If you're looking for a chance to catch a monster shark from the beach, I highly recommend booking a trip with Ricardo. He is passionate about what he does, and I have no doubt he will become a star in the shore shark fishing world. Thanks again for an unforgettable trip!

My family and I traveled to Destin for our first time together and chose Ricardo as our guide to help us with our very first ever shark fishing experience. He was very social, friendly, knowledgeable and overall very helpful making the entire experience comfortable and we really had a great time. He has a huge passion for shark fishing and you can definitely tell. He brought all the bait, poles, and gear that you’d need and had it completely set up when we arrived. Ricardo had 5 different poles set up and used bait such as sheep head fish and stingrays to catch a great variety of sharks. Ricardo also had chairs set up as well making it easier on everyone and for comfort while we stayed at the beach during our 5 hour experience. We were able to catch a Bull shark and a Blacktip shark during our visit. Ricardo will show you how to do the entire process but will also do it for you if needed. Everyone helped one another throughout the entire experience with no stress and no worries he will make certain that you and your family stay safe and have fun! I highly recommend booking with him and trusting him as your guide. He is most definitely in great shape and can handle these sharks with no issues. We were extremely impressed and we will be back again one day!

We did the 5 hour shark fish and had the best time!! We caught a small Atlantic Sharpfish and a Tiger Shark. Definitely book with Ricardo if you want a chance to catch a shark. He is very knowledgeable and wants to teach others about sharks. We made memories of a lifetime. Cant wait to book with him again!
