Jeremy Smith is a seasoned angler whose passion for fishing runs deep along the shores of Pensacola and the surrounding Gulf Coast. With years of hands-on experience and a strong connection to the local waters, he’s built a reputation for knowing when and where the bite is best. Jeremy’s focus is on providing a relaxed, informative, and hands-on approach, especially for guests looking to learn light tackle fishing from shore. His easygoing nature and dedication to sharing his local knowledge make him a standout guide for all skill levels.
Jeremy’s specialty lies in inshore and surf fishing, with a particular emphasis on land-based shark fishing. From Fort Morgan, Alabama to Navarre Beach, Florida, he guides anglers through some of the region’s most productive shoreline spots. Guests often target species like bull sharks, blacktip sharks, redfish, black drum, pompano, whiting, and more. Whether you're casting lures or soaking bait, Jeremy provides expert instruction, quality tackle, and a calm presence that puts everyone at ease.
In addition to fishing guidance, Jeremy ensures a comfortable outing with refreshments and all necessary equipment provided—rods, reels, bait, and lures included. He tailors every trip to meet the needs of his guests, making it ideal for families, first-timers, or seasoned anglers looking to explore a new style of fishing. With Jeremy, each outing is about more than just catching fish—it’s about making the most of the day on the water.
Jeremy’s trips are all land-based, with no boat involved, which means guests will be exploring coastal areas on foot. Surf fishing locations are carefully selected for accessibility and productivity, and anglers should come prepared for walking and dressing according to the weather. Each trip accommodates up to six anglers, and guests are encouraged to bring a cooler for any keepers.
