Who would be some of the recommended guides on Pine Island, preferably out of St. James City. Backcountry/flats (snook, redfish, trout, etc.). I'm an experienced inshore fisherman from the east coast (Titusville area) and would appreciate any recommendations of the best, Thanks..

    Don't limit yourself to pine island guides. Most any captain in fort myers will pick you up in st James.

    If you want a good one from pine island call Cory McGuire.

    I'm an active fisherman from St. Augustine but was invited down to Placida this weekend by an old college buddy who has a condo down there. My buddy keeps kayaks down there but he, myself, and another old bud decided to yak fish Friday and get a guide for Saturday. We did well in catfish creek area on yaks on Friday but absolutely crushed it with Capt Jesse Beye www.saltyjawcharters.com yesterday. All three of us caught slams and must have caught 30-40 trout between us. We caught a decent amount of snook but the reds were the toughest to find until my buddy and I doubled up on them at the last hole to complete our slams. Jesse was very personable, worked hard to put us on the fish and moved around enough to target all three species. We fished live shrimp and artificials with great success. We will definitely book him again next year.

    I've been out with Dave Andrews 3 times, amazing guide and an amazing person. I couldn't recommend Dave enough. He does an amazing job.

    Falling tide charters all the way. I went on a tarpon trip with Corey this past summer and he will definitely put you on the fish.
