    So, the Florida Keys is 110 miles long heading straight out to the middle of the ocean. With so much water to cover, where is the best places to fish in the Keys. I break out the key components of Current, Structure, and Migration. We also take a look at the different species categorizing them with Flats, Backcountry, Bridge, Reef, and Offshore.

    Steve, you deserve to be paid for this info. Thank you very much for taking the time to create this video and share all your knowledge with us. I have never seen anyone with this type of knowledge so open. Most salty guys are just that, salty.
    Hope you get blessed in returned 10 fold.

    Excellent review of Keys. Best to understand your wants vs needs. It starts at home. Fish what is available vice pressure your want to catch cause your there.
    FISH THE FISH.
    STEVE, GREAT JOB!!

    Steve this is dedication. No idea if you did this all in one take. To speak for an hour and a half. WOW!
    The cynic in me keep saying this is Steve's answer to all those that keep messaging him to take them along. Guide them.
    Very well done Steve.

    You're a technician when it comes to this! I've fished very little in the Keys. However I'd really like to do more in the future. This is great stuff. Thank you for dropping all this knowledge!

    There is no substitute for time on the water and experience. Just like the Tarpon and lobsters are seasonal. You wouldn't know that unless you fished there for a long time. Took Steve weeks to figure out where to fish when he moved to Marathon.

    I’ve been enjoying your videos and trying learn something from you for a few months now. So now that I’ve actually got a place in marathon maybe I’ll be doing some fishing soon…
    Keep some fish in the freezer for me just in case the only thing I catch is a cold…
