Beware of the Sun When Fishing
Looking back more than 50 years, you'll find an entire generation of anglers who wish they had known the effects the sun had on their skin.
And we’re still learning.
According to some sunscreen dealers and dermatologists, sunscreen — despite the advertisements — is never waterproof. So people should apply sunscreen at a minimum of SPF 15 every 30 minutes. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends on its website an SPF of at least 30 be used year-round. Consider that long-sleeve cotton T-shirts only provide an SPF of 10.
Fortunately, skin-care technology has advanced along with awareness of ultraviolet sun rays.
Decades ago, sunblock was hardly available. Getting a bronzing tan was the important thing — taking of the shirt and riding around on a bicycle in preparation for Key West companionship.
"Up until my 30s, it was kind of sissy if you put sunscreen on," said Capt. Thom Smith, a Tampa Bay area fishing guide. "It's laughable now. I've never been the macho type, but it was kind of a macho attitude that all the guys seemed to have."
The macho-man attitude wears off once the effects set in. Especially when a knife strips a sample of someone’s face or a nose is removed or a man is robbed of his taste buds — sometimes permanently — due to cancer radiation.
Capt. Doc Lee, a 62-year-old bay area freshwater fishing guide, recently was treated for skin cancer and was afraid he would lose his taste buds. Lee's favorite thing to eat, of course, is fresh-fried speckled perch. "It would have almost made it not worth it," Lee said. Fortunately, Lee's taste buds grew back.
But UV rays are almost unavoidable. The problem on the water isn’t just that the harmful rays come from above. They also reflect off the water and sunglasses, giving off some 360 degrees of sun exposure. Eventually, white bumps and brown blotches char forearms, and an aged person’s skin simply begins to fall off.
