Lately just about every coral head has had permit on it... water temps were coolearlier this week. We could not get them to eat any thing, not flies...live crabs..... crabs ripped open and suspended under pulsa tabs...shrimp ...shrimp tipped jigs..nothing.. Not only would they not eat.. They would not leave, unless we got the sun behind us and were silhouetted. We should have left the heads and hunted them on the flats were they eat better. But it was hard to leave fish to look for fish. The only way I could suffer more rejection would be to go to Key West and hit on college chicks..
Warmed up enough yesterday that my angler got one to eat a crab. Dan hooked his first permit.
We also got lots of shots at 5 to 6 foot tarpon on the flats on the edge of Spanish channel.. Not usual this time of year.
My anglers went 1 for 3 on baby tarpon yesterday on toad flies.. Jim boated his first tarpon
