About Us

The Coastal Outcast is a local outfitter based out of Freeport, FL.  Our vision is to offer local and visiting clients the ability to rent quality fly fishing outfits to new and experienced anglers.  Not interested in fly fishing? We have surf rod and inshore rod rentals available as well. With our delivery service to Panama City Beach, Destin, and 30A, you will never even have to leave the beach!  

The Coastal Outcast is a team of dudes who have an unhealthy obsession with being on the water. Bart has had almost 20 years of fly fishing experience. His passion for fly fishing started when moving to Northern Colorado almost two decades ago. Since then, he has explored everywhere from the mountain west to the Appalacians and all over the southeast. He relocated to the panhandle three years ago and you will probably find him in the water from St. Andrews Bay to Destin. His goal is to share his knowledge and passion with anglers who are interested in saltwater fly fishing.
