re: Recs on a fishing guide in Clearwater, FL?

Congrats on moving to the area. As far as charters go in Tampa Bay proper I have not used any. However dont be discouraged, you have world class fishing in just about any spot you want to try.

Sunshine Skyway Bridge has access to two great fishing piers. You can drive your car on pier to your spot. It's usually one of the first places people will try. Can catch anything from Sheephead to Tarpon from those spots.

Gandy Bridge on 275 has spots to pull off and fish. Big Redfish 35"+ and Snook that will test your gear in a ripping current. Adjacent grass flats hold lots of trout.

If you own a kayak your possibilities are endless in less than 45 minute drive. If you like to wade fish you can smoke big trout and reds over by Fort Desoto. Pull over on road and fish. Lots of places for parking.

I am usually fishing Johns Pass in Madeira. I meet people from Tampa, Lakeland area pretty often. Sorry I wasn't much help in your charter looking, but if you ever get east over near my bend in the beach we can check out a couple spots.
