Pusching Forward: From Trial to Triumph

You have probably seen Melissa at past Panhandle Salt tournaments spreading the word and raising awareness about addiction and the fentanyl crisis. She has shown up for this community again and again, and now we get to show up for her family.

With every Panhandle Salt tournament, we donate to a cause that matters. This season, our donations are going to Pusching Forward to support Matt Pusch, who has now received his liver transplant. The surgery is a huge step forward, but the journey is not over — recovery comes with ongoing costs, including prescriptions, follow-up care, nursing support, living expenses during recovery, and transportation to frequent medical appointments. We are partnering with Help Hope Live to continue raising funds to help Matt and his family through the recovery process.

Thank you for being part of these tournaments and for helping us push Matt forward.

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.
