Coming down for a trip in a couple of weeks and could use some help. Besides locations for Bass fishing, are there any guides you can recommend?

for guides u would have to look at istapoga, okeechobee or trafford. although, if shore fishing interest u i know of several exelent ponds around, depending on when u are coming down.

and i have several very good salt wter guides if thta interest u.

Skip the bass and go catch a tarpon!  Oops did I say that!!  Good luck whatever you decide to do.

Skip the bass and go catch a tarpon!

You've got that one right, Boca Grande, that's Tarpon country.

A LMB to a Tarpon is like a Bluegill to a Muskie, no comparison.

I agree with the above, NIX the bass fishing over there. Go salty, dawg.

get it Salty Dog ;D

Thanks, guys. Yes, of course I'm going to do some Tarpon fishing. I'll be there for 2 weeks beginning Tues the 28th, and wanted to catch my favorite fish as well. If I need to travel a bit I will.

So if you can recommend some Tarpon guides, as well as the closest place to "Bass it," I'd be much obliged.

this is mainly fly fishing though.

Yes, I'm interested in knowing about local places to fish for bass. Let me know if you'd like to hook up and land a few together.
