Permit are the thinking angler’s fish. Found cruising shallow flats with their backs exposed, they demand precision, stealth, and perfect presentations. A permit on the line is a genuine achievement!
Spring & Fall
Year Round (Seasonal Peaks)
Shallow Flats & Low Light
Permit live in skinny water—grass flats, hard-bottom areas, and tidal channels where they feed on crabs and small prey. We sight-fish only, spotting tailing or cruising fish before making your cast. Success requires dead-accurate presentation, light tackle, and nerve.
We use fly rods, light spinning setups, and live crabs or cut bait. A single permit can eat four hours and a hundred casts. This is technical fishing.
