It warmed up enough this weekend for the permit to start trickle on to the flats..
March is considered PRIME time for permit in the Florida Keys. The off shore guides report that some unusually large schools of permit are off shore.. the permit have disappeared from the gulf towers up north.. The popular word on the street is the cooler weather has forced them down here.. I certainly hope so.. Once the water temperatures rise, we should have some epic permit fishing!!!!
In March we can still get cold fronts.. but If the weather is good we will find big tarpon in some the lay up basins. We also find juvenile tarpon in some of those basins as well. If we get hit with a cold front, and water temps drop into the 60's we can always target redfish, snook, cudas and sharks...
