Was down in Belize end of January mid February fishing

Belize is nice,,,,,decent beer

Resident baby tarpon(10-60lbs) a bit early for big migratory tarpon. Going back in a few months for the big guys

Loads of bonefish

Permit fishing was awesome!!

Those fly rods are the way to go on the flats!

Best post of the year

Nice. Did you go with an outfit or lodge?

Couple different lodges and some DIY

U get anywhere warm this winter DT?

Man, unfortunately not for long. The wife spent the last part of her maternity leave in FL so I caught some reds and a nice snook, but they definitely don't replace the bones. She has lot of friends and family in Hawaii so we will be back next year prob Feb. She likes to get after it too, and we settled on Big Island and Molokai. Bones and piggies with the longbow. I got to get me some blue water fish on the fly, but the guys in Hawaii are sissies if you're not using bait and a winch, lol. Also, Bahamas in December. The wife like the sun! Started hammering trout here before the thaw. First fish of the year was a 22 brown.

Nice photos. What did the permit eat?

Strong arm merkin

Mostly olive, one on tan

Good deal. Strong fish

Why did you cut out the faces? The smile is what makes the pic. Unless the boss thinks your supposed to be working!!!

The Permits are neat, hard fighting fish. They look like they are chrome plated.

The fish make the pic, not the person,,,,IMHO


Permit are easy to catch in deep water off of wrecks with bait,,,,

In skinny/shallow water they are nearly impossible to catch

It’s not uncommon to go days/weeks without seeing one,,,they are like unicorns,,,,, then a few seconds of mayhem!!!

They rarely eat,,,,stalking at its finest

Seems like you need 50 shots,,,, then on the 51st they’ll eat like a jack

So much fun!!!!

Nice!

Used to love watching Walkers Cay Chronicles when i was a kid.

Yep. Their shape adds to that. They turn their wide bodies to the current and this adds resistance

looks like fun, thanks for sharing,
