Rick Choate

Rick’s love for fishing started early, growing up on Lake Erie and the lakes and rivers of Ohio. When he moved to the Gulf Coast in 1995, he found his new home on the water and has been chasing fish up and down the coast ever since. From the barrier islands off Mississippi to the Emerald Coast of Florida, Rick brings decades of experience finding the fish.

After a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force, Rick turned his lifelong passion into guiding with Panhandle Salt. He specializes in the waters of Perdido Key and Pensacola Beach, where his clients consistently give him 5-star reviews. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or casting for the first time, Rick is dedicated to making your trip memorable.
