I'm Mike Smith, (Smitty), owner and operator of Smitty’s Surf Fishing. I'm a 28-year Air Force Veteran with close to 40 years fishing experience, and over 20 of that was right here along the Gulf Coast. I'm a certified Florida Friendly Fishing Guide, monthly contributor to Coastal Angler Pensacola/Destin edition and recognized as a FishGum Ambassador Guide.
I grew up fishing the rivers and estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay for trout, flounder and striped bass. As I moved around in the military, I took advantage of all the fishing that was available at each location. Whether I was chasing giant catfish and walleye in North Dakota, largemouth bass in Maryland or elusive trout in the hills of California and South Korea, I was able to locate the fish.
My mission is to get you fishing as well as make your charter as memorable and fun-filled as I possibly can. There are many choices when it comes to fishing charters in our area but only a few specialize in surf fishing. I'm glad you took the time to consider us on your next adventure.
Whether you are vacationing to our beautiful Gulf Coast or a local trying to learn the ins and outs of Surf Fishing, I will make sure your day on the beach is one to remember!
