Get a mosquito suit, when I lived in Miami and fished the Everglades every weekend, you never experienced mosquitos so bad ... especially during the summer when the fishing was best, the bugs were the worst ... 23 varieties of mosquitos call the Everglades home ... they were so bad, you could not breathe, open your eyes, truly a miserable way if you were not prepared ... we would wear the mosquito netting suites head to toe ... plus the gloves which also provided protection from the sun and gripping on the push poles ... sometimes when I forgot it we would spray ourselves with yard gaurd - I could have sworn it made my boys shrink ... but when your boat is trapped under the mangroves and its 95+ degrees, you do anything to get rid of them ... but you can find these suits online, I don't remember the brand ... but they keep the bugs away for the most part.
