Florida's Weather conditions are unpredictable. The weather (May through September) is typically 75 - 95 degrees. Normal dress for most anglers under these conditions would be undershirt, pullover shirt, a light windbreaker, jeans with shorts or swimsuit underneath, and soft soled shoes. The weather (October through April) is not typical. Early morning temperatures may be in the 30's , with afternoon temperatures 50 - 80 degrees.

Your apparel should consist of layers of clothing that may be shed during the day. Dress for most anglers under these conditions would be undershirt, pullover shirt, a sweater, a medium weight jacket, jeans with shorts or swimsuit underneath, and soft soled shoes. Thermal clothing may be necessary at times during the winter months. Sunscreen is essential. Rain gear is available from your guide and stored onboard his boat. (No charge for rain gear)
