Trip - First-Light Surf Casting Along New Smyrna Beach on May 11, 2026

I had an awesome experience with Chris as our surf fishing guide. Super knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about fishing. He knew exactly where to go, what bait to use, and how to adjust to the conditions. The trip was relaxed, fun, and I learned a lot along the way. Highly recommend for both beginners and experienced anglers looking for a great day on the beach. Thank you Chris!!

Chris was a huge help! He gave me some great tips and within minutes I was hooking fish faster than I could reel them in. Had to get my wife and kids each on a rod because they were hooking up so fast. Give him a call! Highly recommended!!!!

Mother Nature didn’t quite cooperate with the wind and a passing cold front, but Chris still did a great job helping my son catch fish and have a fun day on the beach.

Great experience from start to finish. When we arrived, Chris already had everything set up and ready to go. We caught several fish, including a few sharks, and the action stayed consistent throughout the trip. Chris took the time to explain his setup, the baits he was using, and why they worked. With every catch, he explained the species and showed us the proper and safe way to handle each fish. We landed a nice variety of fish in different sizes and even caught a few baby sharks, which was a highlight for the family. Overall, it was an awesome experience, and it definitely got us excited to plan fishing into our next family beach trip. Thanks again, Chris, for a great day on the sand.
