    Tampa/Clearwater fishing recommendations

    Hey guys the family and I are going to be staying in Largo Florida for a week in March and I'd like to get a little fishing in while I'm there! First I need to decide what I want to fish for! Tarpon is definitely on my bucket list, flats fishing for redfish and snook sounds awesome or trying for some big Florida bass!!!! If anyone has recommendations on what type of fishing would be good for this time of year and/or guide/charter suggestions I'd love to hear them!!

    Tim Whitfield at Swift Fish Charters in Tampa. Tim and I were childhood friends. Check out his site, a very well known guide in Tampa. https://swiftfishcharters.com/

    Tim is a good captain, early for tarpon but great time of year for redfish and snook. Id also ask about cobia as they start getting thick mid March
