Ideas on Fishing the Port Charlotte & 10,000 area this Spring

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

Check the links http://www.chff.us & follow the FL Fish-In '09 topic. As for the Hill Tides in Boca Grande tarpon fishing, that’s usually very restricted & reserved for the bait fishers as they really frown upon fluff chuckers using a long wand in Boca Grande Pass during silver king season http://www.MyFWC.com :cool:

Thanks for the Links and excited to get down that way!
