| Charter in Florida |
Question:
Can anyone recommend a decent fishing charter in Florida, near
Tampa/Sarasota? I have a friend going there this March and he'd like
to fish. (I've only chartered the Atlantic side, never the Gulf side,
so I can't make any recommendations to him!)
Answer:
There are many, many great charters. Depending on what kind of fishing though.
I am only up on shallow water angling, flats fishing so if you want deep see or even near shore I can not help.
Capt. Butch Rickey (www.narhoppr.com). You can visit his site and read the fishing reports. I have not personally fished with him but talk with him on occasion. One of my best fishing buddies and the angler I have learned the most from gives him the nod as an excellent guide and that says quite a bit for me.
If you want to fly fish, another guide I am familiar with is Capt. Pat
Damico out of St. Pete Beach 727-360-6466 (pat4jaws -the @ goes here -
hotmail.com)
I will have to look for the card of a fly fishing guide I have gone out with (tarpon, snook) who was excellent.
Maybe one of these guides will be of help if you are looking at inshore angling (and if you pass on inshore I have to say you are missing the essence of the bay area fishing).
