East Side Surf Fishing provides guided surf fishing charters along Florida’s Space Coast, from Cape Canaveral to Sebastian Inlet. Its local guides fish beaches in Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, and Sebastian Inlet, sharing knowledge of how tides, seasons, and sandbars affect where fish feed. Trips are led by owner and USCG-licensed captain Shasta “Rio” Sirju, alongside partner and mate Matt Nieves. For larger groups, a captain and mate work together to offer anglers more individual guidance.

The experience takes place from the beach, so guests do not need a boat or prior fishing experience. Guides provide rods, reels, rigs, and bait, and help participants read the beach, bait hooks, cast, and land their catch. Depending on the season, anglers may target pompano, whiting, snook, or sharks. The charters are described as beginner-friendly and family-friendly, while also welcoming experienced anglers. East Side Surf Fishing offers trip rates and booking assistance by phone or text, and also shares fishing reports, reviews, and information about its services online.
