Dave MurrayDave Murray Lefty Kreh says, "Dave is one of the best casting instructors I know." Beginner or expert, you can catch him on the casting pond for easy ways to solve casting problems. And don't miss his seminar for refreshing insight on just how the double haul works...and how to make it work better for you. Dave's a former engineer who can explain it all in plain English.
Mark NicholsMark Nichols An inventor from the field, not the lab, Mark made the entire family of D.O.A. products based on experience. He also manages to fish a couple hundred days a year, which is why he's one helluva lure designer. Mark is going to show you how to fish his artificial lures in both shallow and deep water when searching for big fish.
Flip PallotFlip Pallot Does anyone not know who Flip Pallot is? Star of Walker's Cay Chronicles, writer, photographer, author, consultant and world record holder (on fly), Flip's multi talents could be intimidating if he wasn't such a nice guy. Look for his new book out this Fall or, better yet, ask him about it.

Kevin’s a pro on and off the water so listen up as he shows you how easy poling can be. Tip: Check out the Stiffy Fishing Rods. Kevin's worked mighty hard to make them perfect.
Thom SmithThom Smith As owner/operator of Angler's Repair in Bradenton, Thom's got the skinny on the workings of rods and reels. And the same goes for fishing Tampa Bay all the way south to 10,000 Islands. Thom has close to twenty years experience in backwater fishing for snook, redfish, trout, flounder and tarpon. Tune in his Saturday morning show too...On The Water With Capt. Thom (1490AM).
Dave WalkerDave Walker Born and raised in South Tampa, Dave's fishing history includes over thirty years fishing its waters. Favorite prey: snook. Favorite method: live bait on light tackle. The Captain loves to fish and has spent the last six years guiding full time.
Jon WestJon West "...lucky for me my hometown gets about six months of steady tarpon fishing every year. We've got laid up fish that will eat a fly in four feet of water as well as hole-hugging herds that want a livebait drifted deep. And there are the amazing milling pods of May and June. And don't even get me started on the minnow munchers of late fall." Golden words on silvermouth. Listen.
Jay WithersJay Withers Jay's a full-time guide and owns his own charter service. He's adept at catching most inshore/offshore species and has a particular affinity for "popping" tarpon and redfish out of the blue. Tips and tactics are yours at his seminar.
Alan ZarembaAlan Zaremba Alan is a native Floridian who has fished Miami's extensive canal network most of his life. He's got wild stories about catching Peacock Bass here. He’s got even wilder tales of catching big, big, big Peacock Bass in South America...a place he goes to more and more often and stays longer and longer. You know a guide's good when his clients book him over and over for the same trip!
