About Your Trip

Are you ready to reel in the big one on the Florida coast? Join Matt on a surf fishing charter in Melbourne Beach for an unforgettable fishing experience! Matt is a local expert with years of experience fishing the waters of Melbourne Beach. He knows the best spots to catch a variety of fish including Red Drum, Snook, Tarpon, and many more. With his expert guidance, you'll have the opportunity to reel in some truly impressive catches.

You'll be fishing from the beach, throwing bait and lures deep into the surf to attract bites. Matt will provide you with all the necessary gear, including rods, reels, tackle, and live bait. He will also teach you the proper techniques and tactics to use while fishing the surf.

The excitement starts as soon as you set foot on the beach, as you and your group scan the water for signs of fish. As you cast your line, the anticipation builds as you wait for that telltale tug on the end of your line. When you feel that satisfying jolt, you'll know it's game on!

But the fishing isn't the only thing that makes this trip so special. Melbourne Beach offers some of the most beautiful natural scenery in Florida, and as you fish, you'll have the opportunity to take in the sights and sounds of nature. Keep an eye out for a variety of bird species, and other wildlife such as dolphins, manatees and sea turtles that may be swimming around.

Matt is not only an expert in finding the fish but also a great teacher, he'll be happy to share his knowledge and tips to help you improve your fishing skills, whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-time fisherman.

Don't miss out on the fishing trip of a lifetime with Matt! Join him on Melbourne Beach for an action-packed day of surf fishing!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
