    I am taking a trip to Key Biscayne leaving this sat for a couple of days and was wondering if anyone had any Recommendations for a guide for some backcountry fishing.

    cant recommend anyone (I dont' fish... :) ) but your best bet is probably to ask around crandon Marina (on the key). They have a bunch of charter sportfish there, I'm sure that's where most of the flat fishing guides operate from.

    Call Boucer Smith @ Miami Beach marina. If he's busy,I bet he can pass you on to a good guide

    TARPON, TARPON, TARPON

    not recommending the above, just the first site that popped up during search.

    Here’s an idea, how about YF having a directory of all types of marine and recreation services in Florida and other places throughout the world (marine pages)

    Greetings,
    Mr. creepin. I agree with Mr. OMW...try and hook up with a tarpon or 2 or 3. Nothing I've experienced in the last 10 years fishing has raised the adrenalin levels as much as the two I've hooked (but NOT landed) as these
    150lb.+ and 40lb.+ fish. The heart races just thinking about it.
    Yes, there are a lot of good eating fish out there (permit, pompano, cobia, snapper etc.) BUT for a REAL rush, nothing comes close to that first (of MANY) 5' aerial jump of a 100lb tarpon. Holy crapola!!!!!
