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.
🗓️ April 1 throught the 30th.
