Fishing guides?

[Gator]

I'm planning on taking my 2 boys (both under 10 y/o) out with a guide over the summer to do some fishing. I'm looking for a guide that is more kid friendly and can put them onto a lot of action. Of course I'd like to catch that fish of a lifetime too though . Can anyone suggest a good guide? Looking for someone from the Sarasota to St. Pete area.

My recommendation for kayak guide is Neil Taylor. Don't know any stinkpotter guides.

I would also recommend Neil Taylor. If you are not looking for a kayak guide, check out Brent Gaskill, great with kids.

Jonnie Walker in Sarasota, "Bay Walker Charters" his motto is "Take a kid fishing because maybe one day they'll take you" great man, funny as heck too....

If the kids are under 10, I'm not sure if kayaks are a good idea. I would call Neil Taylor and see what he thinks. Othersize, I would find a guide with a big boat and lots of patience.

Neil takes kids on a regular basis, so he will work it out for ya.

Shallow pockets, Steve M Gibson, takes his own kid out quite often. Do a search and you'll find some pics with a young toothy grin.

Plus, he's a member here.

Thanks Rik.
Kayaking with young chidren can be alot of fun. I wouldn't suggest a kayak charter any longer than 4 hrs in the summer. I like to take the little ones through the Mangrove tunnels in Sarasota. First couple hrs fishing then a paddle through the tunnels for a break from the sun. http://www.shallowpocketsfishing.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;





If your not into a kayak trip I would give Capt. Dave Boquin a call. Fishing Escape Charters The link is below.

Not ashamed to admit that I will occasionally use the pros to get the skunk off!

I have been out with Capt Chad Manning 4 or 5 times in the last 4 years and he has always been able to put me on the fish including my first sight fished Snook.

In the beginning I had to convince him I didn't need him to bait the hook or cast the rod for me. So he is pretty patient. Worth giving him a call I initially saw him on Reel Animals Fishing Show. On my last trip, we hit a school of reds at FD and got 8 over-slot in just under 45 mins. I have the pics to prove it.

Here is his link http://www.fishandgritscharters.com

Here he is on the Addictive Fishing Show with Capt Blair Wiggins

He uses a network of other Capts to stay tuned in to the bite and will find the fish, you just have to catch them.
