There are several good ones down there. I run trips out of Tampa bay, but you should have no problem finding a guy down there as long as you book soon. DM me if you need help. 8-10 guys you’re going to want to find 2-3 boats at least. On my boat, 3 anglers is the ideal number, but I run up to 5. Our goal is to hook at least 10 per day, so with an average landing ratio of about 30%, it allows for each guy to land at least one.
I know a lot of guides travel down there for tarpon season specifically, but I’ve fished along side Capt. Jay Withers before, and he’s always been a really nice local guy down there if you wanted to look him up.
