Permit question
Last year a friend showed me a picture of a Permit he caught several miles south of SGI. It looked to be around 25lbs. I had never heard of one being caught this far North and wanted to see if anyone else has. Is this normal?

Not sure....I think are rare up here.

Re: Permit question
enjoy it while you can. If the Souf Fla guides and CCA have anything to do with it the Permit will be C&R only or have a tag you have to purchase like a poon. The Bright side is that if this global warming keeps up :rooleyes: we'll be able to fish for them on the flats like down in the keys
