What are you basing this on? I have fished the keys quite a bit with a few different guides and they have all been great. One I would go as far as to say is the best guy I have ever fished with period.
To say that the majority are not enjoyable seems like a huge overstatement. Maybe one or two, but there are too many good guides down there for anyone to pay $600 a day to put up with a jerk.

I can't provide a whole lot of info on BVI. If you're looking for somewhere to get with miles easily, you might want to try Puerto Rico. Fly guides aren't as common there, but you can find it.If you choose the keys, make sure you go in knowing exactly what you're getting into. The majority of Keys tarpon guides simply are not enjoyable. You'll get yelled at if you miss a cast and they'll generally make you feel like you're a bad human being for not being perfect. If you've never done flats fishing - or only have minimal experience - I'd think twice about the Keys. That being said, I'm sure there are people on the forum that have had much better experiences, so if you choose to go that road instead, be selective and only use guides that someone has already vetted personally.On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 2:46 PM, Ashley Frohwein <ashleyf...@gmail.com> wrote:--I could stick with Islamorada, but that would entail a ~16 hour roundtrip drive (to and from Jacksonville). I can use frequent flyer miles to get to the BVI, and have a friend with a boat there, so I'd have a free place to stay. But I'd be a bit more excited about the keys. I'm still trying to make up my mind.Thanks for the input, Misha!

Not sure what else would be around but yeah I don't think the BVIs are renowned for their flats. Good coral reefs yes but not necessarily the best shallow water destination.
