FOR PERMIT - Spawning Shrimp, brown crab.

FOR TARPON - White and chartreuse toads, poppers and home ties.

This Week's Summary:

Anglers continued to have plenty of shots this week with a lot of good eats and tarpon coming unbuttoned on the first or second jump. El Pescador advises anglers to practice strip setting and putting away the trout set before venturing out. In all, it was a great week for permit and the tarpon seem to be more willing to be fed flies!
