Well after the gals connected and landed five permit in one day, it was time for the guys to try to bring a few to the boat! I was out with Karen and managed to land two permit a day later. Doug over the course of our stay in San Pedro in Belize landed three permit. One of the permit he landed was right out front of our condo just before we flew home. Permit fly fishing is definitely a hunting game. There are days when you see them and get a few casts off and other days, you look everywhere and see none. That is the way it is. We used several tried and true shrimp patterns and we also used strong arm and raghead crabs.
It gets quite exciting once you hook a permit. They give a great account of themselves. Hooking one is tough then the battle is a real challenge.
Karen thought she hooked a large permit, it turned out to be a very hard fighting jack!
Karen hook this pompano off of the dock by our condo. They can easily be miss identified as a permit. Several of us caught pompano on this trip.
