The Florida Keys are 120 miles long and are made up of Mangrove covered islands, connected by a single causeway (US1) and a series of bridges that start south of Miami, and run down to Key West, which lies 90 miles from Cuba.

The location of the keys is what makes it such a unique and exciting angling destination.

On one side you have the Atlantic Ocean and on the other the Gulf of Mexico (known locally as Oceanside and bayside). The two oceans are connected by a series of cuts and channels which at times are less than 500 yards long.

This is the most important fact about the keys. It doesn’t matter which way the wind is blowing, from November through to April you will not get blown out by the weather, you can always fish somewhere.
