Panhandle Surf Fishing Outfitters 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time with Brooks as our surf fishing guide! He went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group had a great experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to make sure we were steady reelin’ em in!! It was obvious he really knows what he’s doing. We caught a ton of pompano, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our vacation. We grilled the fish for dinner the next night, and it was absolutely delicious! If you’re thinking about booking a surf fishing trip, I highly recommend Panhandle Surf Fishing Outfitters. We’ll definitely be booking with them again!

Captain Ryan was great, and made the experience a lot of fun for my son and his 6 friends! The communication with Captain Ryan was great! Although he was willing to come to our house and location, the water at his location was a little clearer, so we decided ti go to him. He had everything set up when we arrived. The boys caught quite a few Pompano, and our total was 20, believe. We threw a couple of others back, and also caught a lady fish as well as what we think was a blue fish. The blue fish got off at the end. The boys took the Pompano to AJ’s for the “Hook and Cook” the next day for lunch. Again, we had a great time with Captain Ryan! He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend booking with him!

Ryan had everything setup and ready to go when we arrived. He showed me a lot about how his poles were rigged and his techniques to cast a long surf rod. After we caught a few pompano in the first two hours, the fishing conditions turned for the worse. Ryan offered us the opportunity to cut short the trip by one hour with a discount. We took him up on the offer since the odds of more catch were low. When done he did filet one fish for us, which was all we wanted, and he had that for dinner the next day. Pompano is excellent eating! Overall, a great experience and I learned a lot about surf fishing in this region.

Ryan was an excellent guide for our surf fishing trip! He was very knowledgeable of the surrounding area and was regularly coordinating with us to find the best spot and time that worked for us. Everything was set up for us when we arrived and we didn’t need to bring anything other than a cooler to carry our catch and some chairs. We had multiple long-cast rods with live bait going, and were able to land 14 pompano during a 3-hour charter. We would highly recommend Ryan if you’re looking to enjoy the Florida surf and catch some delicious fish!

There were a total of 6 kids for this fishing excursion. It was hard to find a Charter to set up with this many people without paying an exhorbitant price. This “on shore” fishing experience is the way to go! Ryan answered my request within minutes and set us up for the next day with Brooks who is amazing with kids! With the on shore experience your kids have more to do than just fish which is great for that short attention span!! Thisnis the best setup by far if you are looking for somewhere to take a large!
