The "good" guides are already booked, as that is PRIME TIME for tarpon in that area. However, there will be so many around that you don't need an expert guide with 30 years of experience to put you on 'em. Do a google search for Tampa Tarpon, as well as Boca Grande Tarpon, and then get to calling. There should still be guides available for that time, and you can get on some cancellation lists. I've never used any nor do I know any in that area, but its tarpon infested at the end of May, and the area in and around Tampa is also guide-infested. Do a little research, compare a few, and pick one. That's what I'd do. Tarpon fishing isn't rocket science in that area, at that time.
