become a sponsor
Be part of the tradition. Support your community. Grow with us.
Support local anglers, grow your brand, and be part of one of the Gulf Coast’s biggest surf fishing traditions. This spring marks the 10th Panhandle Salt Pompano Showdown, and we’re inviting local businesses, brands, and community partners to join us as sponsors.
As a Showdown sponsor, your contribution helps fund cash prizes, expand community participation, and strengthen the Gulf Coast fishing community. Sponsors receive on-site exposure at the weigh-in, stage mentions, social media promotion, and direct engagement with anglers and families.
Whether you choose to attend the weigh-in or send prizes to represent your brand, every sponsor is featured across both tournaments — the month-long Upper Limit and the 3-day Pompano Showdown — giving your business maximum visibility.

Gulf Coast Land Based Fishing Guide Association
Panhandle Salt is the founder of the first land based fishing guide association on the Gulf Coast. The Gulf Coast Land Based Fishing Guide Association unites surf fishing guides across the Florida Panhandle and Alabama Gulf Coast to collaborate on laws, ethics, safety standards, conservation, and professional best practices for running surf fishing charters. The association’s mission is to elevate guide professionalism, protect beach access, and serve anglers through training, resources, and community events.
