Going on a family vacation to Florida. Looking to sneak away for a day and hire a guide to do some bass fishing. Does anyone know of any good lakes or pits that are close by?

Im also going to be down in that area around mid may and was wondering samething. I will be in Indian Rocks Beach area just outside of clearwater. I love saltwater fishing down there is great also but nothing like hangin into a hawg!

There is a gentleman by the name of Jerry Bischoff that is a member of my bass club that can hook you guys up. He guides on Lake Tarpon  in Clearwater. He can be reached at jbclg4@yahoo.com. Tell him "Double D" sent ya!!!!

I would recommend that you call Tarpon Toms bait and tackle.

They are located on us 19 right on Lake Tarpon.

They have a bunch of excellent guides that can get you on some fish.

If you are looking for some shore fishing, I would try Walsingham Park in Pinellas park.

I've caught quite a few fish at both locations.
