Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

What Permit Eat.

Nov.15, 2006. November fishing in the Keys is usually one of the better months to hunt Permit, and this year is no exception. Yesterday, we chased the wily ones around the Marquesas and had many shots at tailing fish in the morning Del's Merkin Crab Fly shown above was developed by the late Del Brown. It has caught more Permit than any other fly. Permit love crabs (and all crustaceans, palalo worms, minnows, etc.) and this fly does a great job of imitating the crawling crustacean. Permit also love shrimp and small baitfish. They will take Tarpon flies that imitate baitfish like the cockroach or the sand-devil or clouser patterns. They will also take the gotcha shrimp patterns as shown here. Whatever fly you select for Permit fishing, make sure that you adapt your selection according to the depth and color bottom that you are fishing, e.g. fast sinking dark fly for deep, dark bottoms, slow sinking light color fly for shallow sandy bottoms, etc. When you are ready to book a charter or just talk fishing, contact Capt.
