AS you travel south on Pinellas (ALT19) go past Meres, past Tarpon Springs Golf course and Helen Ellis hospital (about another .25 miles) and on the right in a small plaza is Master's Bait and Tackle. Live bait, artificials, and they even rent kayaks. Just double back to Meres and proceed to Howard...

I am fairly new at kayak fishing and was interested in hiring a guide to show me the ropes. I have had some fairly good success in the caledesi area over the past 4-5 trips. I am hooked on kayak fishing. I was hoping for some advice on some knowledgable kayak guides in the Tampa area. Also, do you ...

Good to meet you Bob.

We had to work hard to get 3 slot reds, and 1 over slot trout.
Long day, long paddle, good chat.

Priceless

You might want to check with Osprey Bay. They have the rentals on Honeymoon Island I believe. I've taken a paddling class with them and learned better technique, they have certified instructors. Hopefully they can give you some sort of school/group discount.

I'm in Palm Harbor -- would be ok with travelling
Weekends are best Sat or Sun
No real signature fly -- maybe share a flatwing tie they use in New England
Would like to learn EP fiber style ties.

I think this is a sign of the times and more will go under.
The one farther south on Alt 19 (east side), is up for sale.

Depending on when/where I'd be interested.
Swap techniques, patterns etc.

Great idea.

Get to the keys for some cuda's,permit (fly or spin).
Get a slam to kayak and release, none of that 5ft away release I seem to be getting.
Kingfish out of the kayak.
Beach snook on the fly.
Don't lose anymore plugs to sharks.
