About Finding Demo Surf Fishing

Podcast by a Panhandle Surf Angler for all anglers of any level. We will talk weekly to guests that are anglers and also industry professionals. I want you to walk away from this podcast with some knowledge either refreshed or new for you to become a better angler. Though it will start in the Panhandle of Florida, it will be around the entire United States so we can all learn something about fishing in different regions.

   From Stroke to Saltwater, Webb Skelton and Project Saltwater

   The newest episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing has dropped with Webb Skelton, founder of Project Saltwater, for one of the most powerful conversations on the show. After serving in the Army and facing a difficult transition back to civilian life, Webb found himself in a downward spiral that ultimately led to a life-changing stroke. What followed was a second chance, and a new purpose. Through fishing, community, and time on the water, Webb began rebuilding his life. That journey led to the creation of Project Saltwater, a growing mission focused on helping veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families find healing through surf fishing and the outdoors. In this episode, Webb shares his story, the impact of the fishing community on his recovery, and his vision for creating something bigger than himself, an organization built to bring people together, fill the gaps left behind after service, and offer a different kind of therapy through saltwater.  This one goes deeper than fishing. If you know someone who could benefit from what Webb is building or someone who can help support the mission, this is an episode worth sharing.

   Stepping Away to Come Back Stronger With Buck “Salty Leprechaun” Bishop

   New episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing is live. Buck Bishop, better known as the Salty Leprechaun, is back on the show and this one goes deeper than just fishing. After stepping away from social media, guiding, and content for a while, Buck talks openly about burnout, mental health, and why sometimes the best move you can make for something you love is to step back and reset. We talk about the pressure that can come from turning fishing into work, finding balance again, and what brought the fire back for him this season. If you’ve ever felt burned out chasing something you care about, this conversation will probably resonate.

   Nathan Benjamin, Solving Beach Access One Wheel at a Time

   In this episode of Finding Demo Surf Fishing, I sit down with Nathan Benjamin, founder of Benjamin’s Beach Wheels, to talk about how a personal problem on the sand turned into a solution now used by surf anglers, families, businesses, and veterans across the country. Nathan walks through his fishing background, his transition from freshwater to surf fishing, and the frustrations that led him to start building his own beach carts—and eventually focus entirely on developing heavy-duty beach wheels. We break down what actually matters when it comes to beach mobility: wheel size, bearings, inflation, durability, and why many off-the-shelf options fail in real surf conditions. This episode goes deep into: The evolution from Benji’s Beach Carts to Benjamin’s Beach Wheels Why wheel design and bearings matter in sand, water, and heavy loads Common mistakes anglers make with beach carts and wheels Maintenance, inflation, and real-world durability How better access changes who gets to enjoy the beach We also talk about the moments that matter most—helping people get back to the beach when they otherwise couldn’t, including families, businesses, and individuals with mobility challenges. This conversation is part fishing, part engineering, and part reminder that the right gear doesn’t just make fishing easier—it makes the experience possible.
