Renski: Do a search on this board and you'll find lots of opinions on guides. I've never done the food thing-it's fishing, not picnicing, but I fully understand an "occaisional" fisherman wanting to do the beach BBQ experience. $150 or so is a more average price for a day on the reef sans the food. Swing by Ruby's and take along any of their pretty incredible food stuffs.

Flyfishing my way through mid-life crisis.
