Marco Island Guide Recommendations

[MN BassFisher]

I thought I'd ask my fishing peers here first...we're headed back down to Marco Island, FL the first week in April and have a house rented. We are on the canal system on the North part of the Island and will be renting kayaks for the week to paddle/fish from. I would like to hire a guide one day down in that area to take a few of us out chasing fish. We haven't made up our mind on whether we'd like to do an Inshore or Offshore trip but I thought I'd talk to a few people to get some input and that will help us make our mind up. Ultimately, just looking to bend the rods and have a good time.

Does anyone have any tips or recommendations for Guides in the area? Thanks!

It's been a while ( 10 years ) but we hired Capt. Brad Hurd out of Bonita Springs ( north of Marco Island ), we went out into the Gulf about 25 - 30 miles, lots of action, caught lots of fish but nothing big that day.

I believe he also offered inshore fishing too.

I'm sure there's lots of guides to look at around that area.

Yeah, I was hoping to hear of some recommendations to limit the search but I might just have to look at reviews and have some conversations to determine who we should go out with. Thanks for your recommendation/reply!
