Since I'm still waiting to see if I'm moving to Florida, I'm heading that way anyways for some fishing since I can't wait!

We're headed to the Port Charlotte area and possibly 10,000 island area as well the 1st of May for 5 days. Never fished this area before and needed ideas for going after some backcountry tarpon and snook on the Fly!

We were thinking getting a guide 1 day than either kayaking a few back areas or a flats boat for some fun? Also should we try and hit the Hill Tide phase or would it matter?

Thanks and can't wait
