Fishing Florida Keys
The Keys sit closer to the equator than anywhere else you can drive to in the Lower 48, and the sun behaves accordingly. Flats on the bay side, reef and blue water on the ocean side, and a long white skiff deck throwing light back up at you all day.
What to wear
Full coverage is standard here, not cautious. Guides wear hoods, sleeves and gaiters because the alternative is a burn through the back of a shirt by the second day of a trip.
When to go
Tarpon migrate through in spring, bonefish and permit fish the flats most of the year, and winter is high season because the weather is the best in the country. There is no low-UV month.
