I have a site on S. Fla. fishing that includes links to local guides at
http://inshore.com/f-guides.html. You can check some there sites and see
what looks good in your price range. Don't be shy about sending them an
email if you have any questions.

From Miami your have access to Flamingo, Florida Bay, the Upper Keys and
Biscayne Bay for inshore fishing and the Gulfstream just minutes away if
you
still want to go offshore.

Note: during the summer with the calmer seas some of the smaller boats
fish
for dolphin in the same areas as the big boats at a much better price.

Hi NG

A lot of thanks to the both of you for your very useful advise and
oppinions. I will surely look into the www.captainhud.com website and
reconsider my fishing plans.

Also I think it´s great that you bother to spend a few nimutes helping
me
out.

I´ll let you know, what it all ends up with

Best regards

I just fininhed a trip the end of May to Tampa Florida. I attended
a
conference and had some time to take a day fishing. I agree that
inshore fisihing to be more fun than the blue water fishing.
Durning
my
time on the water I caught 10 nice Snook and a bunch od Ocean Trout.

The guide I used is Capt. Jim Huddleson (727) 439-9017. His web
site
is
www.captainhud.com. He uses Palm Harbor Dock and is just south of
Tarpon Springs and North of Tampa. If taking a guide from Tampa you
spend a lot of time getting out of the Bay and out to where the
Snook
are. At Palm Harbor the boat ride is only a a few of minutes and
you
are fishing, not riding around. He is a Florida native, and is a
IGFA
world record holder. If you want o do some inshore fishing near
Tampa,
I recommend him very highly. I had a good time, good conversation
on
the water, excellent learning experience and he put me on some
really
nice Snook.

I don't think a guide is a cheap investment, but then again you have
to
look at the service provided. Boat, gas, bait, tackle all cost
money,
and the guide has knowledge you are paying for. I f you would like
to
see some of my fishing picture, I maintain a personal website for
family
and friends to see pictures, www.cafe-american.us . click on fishing
expeditions.

Sounds like you had a good trip. I was down for the week as well and
missed my chance on the snook but caught some nice trout including a
26
inch fish that fought hard.

I would disagree with you on taking a guide out of Tampa being more of
a
boat ride however. I was fishing out of my kayak on the east side of
Tampa Bay. There are spots all around the bay where snook, redfish,
trout and even tarpon are plentiful.

A guide is a good idea for anyone who has limited time and limited
knowledge of the fishing where you are. You will maximize your time
and
fun and even long time anglers can learn from a good guide. For the
money, usually $200 - $300 for a half day and $400 - $500 for a full
day
with one or two anglers. The nice thing about going solo is that you
get
all the fish. I have been on some trips with multiple anglers and it
is
hard sitting there watching your buddy fight a fish you could be. In
my
case we had 5 on a larger boat and I got one shot at a tarpon, the
only
one which threw the hook. I was glad for the others but man did I want
to be on the rod.

good fishin'

Flats fishing is Flat Fun!
Visit my site at http://flatsfisher.com

From Miami Capts. Bouncer Smith, Dennis Forgione and Mark Houghtailing would
be my first reccomendations. They are all good, but each fishes a little
differently. You might contact each and see which would be best for you.

I don't know the Key West guides well enough to make a reccomendation.

Have a great trip,
Jim

As far as the Keys, I would recommend Ryan Veach on the "Supergrouper 2". You
can reach him via e-mail from a link on his website. www.supergrouper.com. He
fishes the reefs as well as inshore in Key West. I highly recommend him. If you
flats fishing, Pat Bracher at "Fish Overtime" is an excellent choice. You can
see his website @www.fishovertime.com. I know both of these captains very well,
having fished with both of them many times over the years.
Good luck! Any questions, feel free to e-mail them, or you can e-mail me if
you like.
