heading down to see my folks they live in new port richey its right outside of tampa bay. Was wondering if there were any fishing guys from that area. I would like to do some bass fishing why i am there. do you know of any good guide services? what would be the best time of the year the spawn hits here around the second week of april. But i am pretty sure it happens alot earlier there considering the temp. If anyone can lead me in the right direction hit me up with a PM or a reply thanks guys

I've fished quite a few places from that area. I like Lake Tarpon best. I've rented boats there, but mostly I have a buddy with a boat that I go out with.
You can target schoolies at low-light in the canals with topwater. Then move to the main lake when the sun is up and really go to town with your sonar in the middle of the lake. There are countless brushpiles for jigs, deep cranks and swimbaits. If you want an 8 lber easy, just start fishing the local community ponds... you're bound to hook up with one somewhere. ![]() I've fished with Lenny Crispino on Tarpon before. Real good guy but not sure if he guides. He used to own a tackle shop on the lake years ago. I googled his name and found this number... 727-505-2414. Might want to give him a try... he'll put you on some good fish.

He was one of the top guys on Tarpon though, and at the very least, may be able to point you in the right direction. His tackle shop was named "Tarpon Tom's". I found this number off a 'Florida Vacationing' website.

Lenny sold Tarpon Tom's about 3 years ago and it is now closed down.
![]() I think that he still guides there, but I don't know how to get in contact with him. I can probably get in touch with a friend who might be able to reach him. I'll give him a call if you are still interested. The spawn down here is usually February - March. There are a lot of smaller lakes here as well that hold large fish as well. Brute |

also need to remember that many of the Florida areas have 2 or 3 spawn per year pending weather... I know there is usually a second spawn in my area of the panhandle around late Sept to Early Oct...
not like that makes much difference but figured I would toss it in, just in case someone plans a fall trip down here ![]() |
