Turning passion into purpose.
In 2020, my wife and I launched Perdido Blane Outfitters, a small project that quickly grew into what is now Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing. What began as running trips and creating tackle as a side hustle turned into something much bigger — and in 2024, we went all in, opening our first physical location in Perdido Key.
Our vision has always gone beyond just fishing. With the creation of the Gulf Coast Land-Based Fishing Guide Association, we set out to unite guides across the coast under common standards — clear operating procedures, safety guidelines, and community involvement.
Today, our mission is simple: to provide the best surf fishing experience possible for both visitors and locals, while building opportunities for other guides and small businesses along the Gulf Coast.
