Due to hurricane force winds, we are closing early today. I will be building out two beach carts, one Jr, and one Sr, and creating a video around the builds.

If you are in the market for beach cart upgrades, this video will be for you. I have used 4 companies for parts, so you can get a good feel for what each cart builder has to offer.

Stay safe, see you guys Monday.

Had a pompano take off west Thursday morning and I took off with it — full sprint, eyes locked. Then boom… stopped dead in my tracks by my own sand spike.

I saw it all. Jesus, Buddha, Ali, and Jim Jones sitting around a card table sipping tea. They all looked up, smiled, and said, “Welcome home, brother.”

Moral of the story, watch your step and protect the family jewels. The beach giveth and the beach taketh away.

Wild Miles Tackle, LLC Glow Bullet Floats did the trick this morning. 20lb Blue Current .

It was a staggered bite, but myself and Rick Choate were able to get a few in the cooler. Off the beach by 7:30.

Assassin Tackle USA Kobmasters Have Landed!

They’re here — Assassin Tackle USA Kobmasters are now available both online and in-store. These rods have been in high demand, and we sold a 12-footer before we even finished unboxing the shipment. Our friend Dean here walked in minutes after they arrived.

If you’re local and can’t make it to the shop right away, you can still lock one in by ordering online and selecting “Pick Up” at checkout. That way, your rod is guaranteed before this batch disappears.

These Kobmasters weren’t easy to get, but our rep went to work, made some calls, and got it done. Just in time for the fall run.

After 6-Years of Service, it's Time to Retire Beach Nasty.

Cart Build Weekend!

All parts are in for my double beach cart build-out, except for a few tube caps I’m waiting on from Benjamin's Beach Wheels.

I’ll be building two carts:

A smaller personal cart for light trips.

A new guide cart built for daily use and abuse.

Before I get rolling on the video, I want to thank all the cart builders who’ve entertained me over the past few months while I figured out what direction to go. In the end, I chose to work with multiple companies and pieced together two budget-friendly builds that will not only get the job done but last for years.

The builds kick off Sunday, and I’ll have the video out early next week. Stay tuned, these rigs are going to be slick!

Today was one for the books.

The plan was simple, spend the morning scouting a few new spots. I’ve been eyeing some areas our shop landlord owns and pitched him on a deal for parking access. Checked one out this morning and instantly knew I’d found something special — untouched sand, no footprints, no cart tracks, no spike holes… nothing.

First cast, I get hit within seconds. Got him to the wash and he shook loose, schooly-size pomp, nothing special, but enough to know the bite was on. I reset, ran four lines, and two bent hard. Still dark, but something didn’t feel right. Then I caught a glimpse… birds.

Next thing I know, I’ve got one bird tangled on each line. Spent 45 minutes sorting that mess out, braid burn across the top of my hand as a souvenir. Sun finally came up, lines back out, and boom, another bird. They were hanging out in the water feeding on baitfish.

By the time I wrapped up the third bird, it was after 7:00. No pompano, just chaos and feathers. Some days the stars just don’t align.

Panhandle Salt Surf Fishing guide Donnie Hickey running birthday trips. Little man wanted to catch a fish for his birthday.

Donnie closed one down last night around 7:00 pm, and was back at 5:30 am for another. This guy has been a lifesaver.

I felt a thump-thump this morning during a trip. Pretty sure it has to do with the temp drop over night.

Alright boys and girls, the wait is OVER!

Kobmasters have officially hit the States and are on their way to the shop!

I was able to snag 10 of the 11-footers and 10 of the 12-footers, just in time for the fall season.

I also brought in a few more 9’6” Spin Techs (1–3oz) these have been flying off the shelves, not just with surf anglers but also the pier guys. Plus, some 3/4oz Cone Ice Cream Topwaters. A great size for the Super Nova 7'7" (1/4-1oz).

No pre-orders this time, last shipment was gone before it even hit the racks. Everyone will have an equal shot when they go live.

Once they land, I’ll make them active online and in-store at the same time.
If you order online, you can still choose in-store pickup,
no need to pay shipping if you’re local.

The wait is finally over, and it’s perfect timing for the season kickoff. Let’s go!
