Permit
 The permit is another prize flats fish, as with the
bonefish the permit is also skittish and very wary. The permit
tolerates warmer water than the bonefish, water in excess of 85
degrees, this opens up some of the warmer months of Summer for
exciting fishing when the bonefish are in the deeper, cooler water.
The same tidal characteristics are seen with the permit except
that the permit are on the flats during the higher stages of the
tide because the permit is a larger fish than the bonefish. Permit
range in size from 10 to 40 pounds.
Permit just love live crabs, you cast a live crab into a school
of crusing permit and it doesn't take very long for the crab to get
gobbled up, as said best by Lefty Kreh, "it's like rolling a wine
bottle in a jail cell".
The peak seasons for permit are Spring through the Fall, but I
especially like the Spring, April and May and into the Summer, also
September and October are good times of the year to fish for permit.
