    My brother is heading down to Orlando Florida and needs the name of a
    good guide down there.  Anyone have a name, address, phone, and fees?
    
    Thanks

|     Yeah. Roland Martin. If he doesn't mind shiner fishing, tell him to
    call Doug Hannon and use my name. He's a very close personal friend. We
    used to party together all the time. I introduced him to his wife.

    The back of any BASSmasters has a bunch listed.  My only Fla Guide
    experience has been out of Roland's Marina on Okeechobee - top notch
    guides - but kind of a long drive from the Magic Kingdom.
    
    Shiner fishing is what most guides do down there almost exclusively -
    and many of the locals as well.  On the weekends, at many of the more
    popular spots down there, it's tough for a bass to swim around without
    bumping into a hooked shiner.

|     If you want to stay neay Orlando and save $150 or so, head over to 
    East Lake Fish Camp on East Lake Toho (Right in Kissimee).  They rent 
    small boats there cheap.  
    
    If your fishing shiners you can get by without a bass boat with 
    electronics.  The lakes not that big, and some real monsters 
    get pulled out of there.  The first time I was there (in a small rented
    boat I lost a HUGE bass).  Another time I saw a 13+lber get boated
    50yds from where I was fishing. Last time there there wasn't any
    water!  But that should be all set now...
