Upcoming Surf Fishing Events
The Panhandle Salt Tournaments bring together surf fishermen from across the Gulf — from beginners to seasoned pros — to share the passion, the challenge, and the community that make surf fishing what it is.
This year, we are proud to host two back-to-back tournaments:
the month-long Upper Limit Pompano Tournament and the three-day Panhandle Salt Pompano Showdown.
Whether you fish from dawn till dusk or just love being part of the action, both events promise great prizes, good company, and unforgettable days on the beach.

Gulf Coast Land Based Fishing Guide Association
Panhandle Salt is the founder of the first land based fishing guide association on the Gulf Coast. The Gulf Coast Land Based Fishing Guide Association unites surf fishing guides across the Florida Panhandle and Alabama Gulf Coast to collaborate on laws, ethics, safety standards, conservation, and professional best practices for running surf fishing charters. The association’s mission is to elevate guide professionalism, protect beach access, and serve anglers through training, resources, and community events.
