This past summer, I had great success using the SurfPro Tackle Tentacal Rig during times when grass was heavy in the surf. By placing bait near patches of seaweed and mimicking the appearance of grass with the Te****le Rig, the results were impressive. This experience sparked an idea that led to a two-month mission involving late nights and early alarms as I worked with a manufacturer in Hong Kong.

My vision? To create a leader line that looks and behaves like seaweed. After countless hours, discipline, and some sleep-deprived days, the first sample is finally here!

Here’s what makes this line special:

Material: 15lb monofilament that is incredibly thin yet heavy.
Performance: The drop hangs down with force, avoiding the bounce you get with traditional leader lines.
Appearance: A hunter-green color with gold accents that blends seamlessly with seaweed.
Strength: Break tests show it holds strong—rated at 15lb but breaking closer to 20lb. I have samples of 15lb, 20lb, and 27lb. The 27lb is about as thick as our traditional 20lb.
This specific strand is already popular in the Indonesian market but hasn’t yet made its way to the U.S. Through this process, I’ve also tapped into an incredible braid resource, opening up new possibilities for surf fishing innovation.

Panhandle Salt is considering branding this product and introducing a rig line that incorporates this unique material. The goal is to collaborate with other rig brands to create the ultimate surf fishing tool.

But first, we need to test it in the field. I’ll be tying up some rigs and passing them out to customers for real-world testing soon. Stay tuned—big things are coming!

Tomorrow marks the first day in weeks that I don’t have to bring work with me to work. Sunday is wide open—no trips on the books—and I’m looking forward to catching my breath after a busy holiday season. 2024 has been no different in keeping us on our toes, and the next six weeks will be packed with exciting projects.

Here’s what’s on the horizon:
🎣 Expanding into the kayak fishing side of things.
🎣 Organizing the Spring Panhandle Salt Pompano Showdown.
🎣 Launching the very first annual “The Limit”—an invitation-only, month-long surf fishing event running from March 1st to March 29th.

Once The Limit wraps up, we’ll take a short breather and dive straight into the Showdown. This April, we’re packing the parking lot with The Deep Blue Seafood “Truck” for an Anglers Meeting on Thursday, April 3rd, at the shop. It’s a perfect chance for sponsors to connect with anglers, showcase their gear, and offer great deals before the tournament kicks off.

Winter may feel like a break, but it’s no time to slow down. March sets the tone, as it has been one of our busiest months for guiding since 2022.

Stay tuned for details on how to apply for The Limit in the coming weeks. Until then, bundle up—it’s about to get cold out there!

The camera got some great shots of my Dry Pocket Apparel Dry Bag this morning setting up. I have been using this for multiple purposes over the last few months. Camera equipment, tackle boxes. and on occasion, fish cooler. It’s a completely waterproof all in one bag for the beach. Sand just falls off of it.

I also use their shorts and pants for fishing. All products have a built in Dry Pocket to protect whatever you don’t want to get wet. Sand fleas fit nicely in there too.

After dozens of washes, the Dry Pocket has received no damage. The products are well built and designed for all outdoor activities.

Panhandle Salt 15 will save you some cash at checkout.

We got another slayer among us. Tiffany here booked a lesson with us this morning and picked up the necessary skills to do this thing herself. After we cleaned her catch, she jumped in the Jeep and headed right back to the beach.

Surf Fishing lessons with Panhandle Salt will fast track you 6-months in 3-hours. Things become a lot clearer when someone is pointing you the way.

Great to meet you today, Tiffany. See you on the beach!

🎣 Sunset Surf Fishing Adventure 🌅

What an unforgettable evening with a beautiful family under a stunning sunset! Yesterday, we took out some local clients and their visiting family members for a surf fishing experience to cap off their families vacation.

Our local clients are stationed here through the military and have been watching the local surf fishing community reel in pompano from the beach. Curious to see if surf fishing was the right fit for their family—and especially their young son—they decided to give it a shot!

Armed with a scouting report from RRick Choate we hit a promising beach in the Perdido area around 3:00 PM. It started slow, with nothing but a small shark hitting the sand until 5:00 PM. After three shifts down the beach, we finally found the sweet spot.

The pompano made us work for it last night! They were sitting deep, biting on OP Bait Soak and Float Hooks. With some persistence, we managed to get a few on the beach just before dark, and our clients went home with four beautiful fillets ready for the grill. 🐟🔥

If you’re looking to kick off the New Year with a surf fishing adventure, we’ve got a few days open this week! 🎉

📅 Book your trip at panhandlesalt.com or swing by the shop at 13595 Perdido Key Dr. Let’s make some memories on the sand!

Do This Before Surf Fishing To Maximize Sucsess.
Do This Before Surf Fishing To Maximize Sucsess.

Scouting is an essential step for any surf angler looking to maximize their success on the beach. By taking the time to observe the shoreline before setting up, you can identify key features like sandbars, troughs, rip currents, and deeper holes where fish are likely to gather. Scouting helps you pinpoint the best spots to cast, ensuring you're fishing where the action is. Additionally, observing tidal movements, wave patterns, and baitfish activity can give you valuable insight into fish behavior. This knowledge not only increases your chances of hooking up but also saves you time and effort by avoiding unproductive areas. Investing a little time in scouting before you start fishing can lead to bigger catches and a more rewarding day on the water! #SurfFishingTips #FishingSuccess #BeachFishing
