Key West Fishing Tournament

Key West Fishing Tournament

One of the things I did to keep my kids super excited about fishing was to become very involved in the Key West Fishing Tournament.  The tournament is a long format ongoing tournament that begins March 1 and ends on the last day of November each year.  Anglers and guides receive a citation/certificate for fish that achieve the minimum citation length.  The tournament keeps records for All Time and for the year which allows for anglers and guides to target specific fish on specific tackle to try to win the different categories...

How To Catch A Permit On Fly - Permit Fishing 101-Fly Tackle and Techniques-Part 3 of 3

Flyfishing for permit is difficult not because the fish are terribly difficult to catch rather that our flies and techniques do not accurately represent what they want to eat.  Permit look at a dead crab the same as they look at a fly.  The profile is interesting but not really what they had in mind.  Flies need to have action resembling the real crabs and until they do, it is my opinion that they will remain exceptionally difficult to catch on fly.
