I picked up Claiborne Young's "Cruising Guide to Western Florida," and it has exactly what you're looking for. The "Western Florida" guide is 480 pages, and pretty all-inclusive. There's 88 pages just concerning Tampa Bay, for example. The only thing it lacks (in my opinion) is chart overviews for the areas he's talking about, although he mentions the NOAA charts frequently. If you have the charts, sitting at the kitchen table and cross-referencing his account with the charts is extremely helpful. He mentions marinas (with facility overviews), local items of interest, places to anchor out (with local laws where appropriate), and notable dining facilities within walking distance of marinas. There's another one for Eastern Florida, of course. Maybe a bit pricy, but worth the value, at least to me.
