Just switched my trip to Ft Lauderdale instead of Tampa for August. Good thing I did not finalize anything with a guide in tampa yet. Anyone know of a good guide in Ft lauderdale? Im taking my Fly gear down and mabe some spinning. Whats the fishing like in august down there?

Thanks,
Joey

I got a recommendation on this board for Capt. Gavet Tuttle of Back for More charters. I have spoken to him and arranged two charters for early June (8 hr offshore and 4 hr night time trip for tarpon). He fishes a 26ft Andros and based on what I researched, after the recommendation from fishhardliveeasy, is an excellent, well respected guide.
I'll update you on my trips when I'm back from Florida.

I've fished with Capt. Jeff in Ft. Liquordale, Miami and Biscayne Bay. He knows the water, the tides, and the fish. You won't find a harder working guide.

Just got back yesterday from a boys weekend down there. Fished offshore Saturday and Sunday with the Fort Lauderdale Fishing Charters Florida Deep Sea Sportfishing - Fishing Headquarters afternoon charters offshore. Got a bunch of kings and a huge cuda, with a couple big run offs that didn't come tight. Not sure if they do fly/inshore, but may be worth a phone call. Capt Adam and mate Rod were the more fun crew of the two days. They said that with all of the recent rain down there, it's thrown off the salinity somewhat and slowed the bite down. Not sure if that would affect inshore and tribs too, I guess?
Good luck! Andy
