Surf Fishing Academy

The Guy Harvey Resort in St. Augustine hosts a surf fishing workshop on select Sundays from March through May, 2025. Surf fishing pro, Noel Kuhn, leads each class. A Jacksonville native, Noel continues to win fishing tournaments and is often invited to speak at fishing clubs. The classes will be held on the beach at the Guy Harvey Resort, 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 will move with the fish (or the "changing bite patterns). Most locations are on the beach near the hotel, and Guy Harvey Resort's website will have up-to-date information for each upcoming class.
