Surf Fishing Academy

The Guy Harvey Resort in St. Augustine hosts a surf fishing workshop on select days throughout the year. Surf fishing pro, Noel Kuhn, leads the classes. A Jacksonville native, Kuhn continues to win fishing tournaments and is often invited to speak at fishing clubs. The classes are held on the beach at the Guy Harvey Resort in St. Augustine Beach.

The workshops cover surf fishing basics and offer special tips and techniques: the best times to fish, how to read surf, how to use baits, ways to rig for success, and long-distance casting techniques to reach up to 600 feet and more. Classes are limited to 10 students.

Throughout the year, the class location moves with the fish (or the "changing bite patterns"). Guy Harvey Resort's website has up-to-date information for upcoming classes.

The fee includes the use of fishing poles and tackle. Bring a notepad, camera, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, coolers, water, and a fishing license. No fishing license? No worries, you can get a fishing license here.
