Permit Fishing in Florida Keys
(Trachinotus falcatus)
The warm, shallows of the Keys attract thousands of energetic Permit year round. Along the 125-miles of islands, there are plenty of productive fishing grounds. Explore the bays, flats, and backcountry aboard a Florida Keys Permit fishing charter and battle it out with this intelligent and powerful beast in stunning surroundings.
What to Expect
Permit hunt the bottoms. Spot their tail in the air as they dive to the sea bed, and hook your live crustacean or fly. These strong fish are prone to scare easily, so you’ll want a boat that drifts gently across. Cast away with precision and accuracy so as not to disturb them, and wait for the bite.
The Upper Keys
Start your quest in the shadow of Miami. Across the Bay of Biscayne, you’ll find the shallow flats overflowing with Permit. On the western side of the Keys, you can hit up the open bays’ deeper waters. The fish can be a bit more tricky to spot here, but they’re not quite as spooky.
The Middle Keys
Within reach of the Everglades, the Lower Keys are always productive. Explore the mangrove islands for your best chance of Permit. These rich waters are also home to incredible nature. You’ll be lost for words as you gaze at the beauty – which is just as well, as it’ll save you from scaring the fish!
The Lower Keys
From Upper Harbor to Jewfish Channel, there’s some of the best flats fishing in the world. In waters a few inches deep, you’ll have no trouble spotting your target. These fishing grounds are relatively untouched by tourists. Get a real Keys fishing experience aboard a Florida Keys Permit fishing charter in Tavernier, Islamorada, or Marathon.
Key West
Or “the Permit capital of the world,” as it’s known. Not only can a charter out of the conch republic take you to the delights of the Lower Keys, but you can also discover the Gulf’s shallows. “The Lakes” lead out to the Marquesas Islands, offering some of the best Permit fishing in the country.
How to Prepare
If you’d like to try your luck on the fly, check if the captain requires you to bring your own gear. Most charters include water to keep you hydrated, but bring some drinks and snacks aboard and make the most of your day hunting for Permit. Hop aboard a Florida Keys Permit fishing charter and let the magic begin!
