Englewood area guide recommendations

Brent B

Heading down to spend some time with family who live near Englewood over Memorial Day.  Looking for some recommendations for a guide in that area.  

I figure with the holiday and tarpon season most everyone will be booked up, but thought I’d give it a shot.  

Thanks in advance.

Whatever happened to KMagnus?  Did he get disgusted with red tide?

I went out on Flyin’ Hawaiian from Stump Pass in Englewood and was happy. I’m not sure what you’re looking for but they can do in or offshore. Good luck! 👍🏻

Also check with Captain Travis Ormond on the Pelagic out of Stump, you wont be disappointed.

I'd check with Capt Sam Elsberry, he's good.

Kaelin (Flyin Hawaiian) does inshore and offshore. Sam runs inshore out of Eldreds or Miller’s on Boca Grande. Both are really good friends and fisherman. That weekend though is crazy. Are you looking to go tarpon fishing specifically? Back bay? Keep rods bent for kids? 

Everyone good is going to be booked, but I may be able to help. Post back here or send me PM, just need more info.

Thank you for the suggestions.  

I’ll be in the area for almost 3 weeks.  For a few days I’ll have access to a center console.  During that time what are productive areas?  Passes, flats, hitting docks, rock piles?  

Just trying to figure out productive techniques to bend some rods for the nieces and nephews.  

I’ve never been to this area and usually frequent the SE, ENP and the Keys.  

Figured a guided trip would teach me some local techniques.  Not looking for spots though.
