The Florida Keys | A Resilient Paradise

Combining Caribbean vibes with easy access from the mainland, The Keys emit a unique energy from the bustling patios of Duval Street to the tranquil waters of the flats. The crystal-clear waters give adventure anglers a rare opportunity to sight fish for some of the trickiest species—permit and bonefish, tarpon and barracuda. Like so many fishing paradises, hurricane season slams The Keys year after year. Local fishing guide Randy Morrow has lived through 13 storms. As he shares footage from Hurricane Irma’s wrath, he reflects on the damage and recovery of both the resilient locals and the fish.
