Well its that time of year that my guys on fishing holidays in the Florida Keys arrive with the boxes and I just have to tick them. \u00a0Now as some of you know it is permit spawn time and after a 100 lb tarpon a trophy permit over 20 lbs \u00a0has now become the next box. \u00a0Well this year I was a little worried as the spawn had started about 3 weeks early and only goes on for about a month so fingers crossed for this week. \u00a0This weeks guys are regulars from Ireland and on this trip they had a newbie Brian who for over a year had been told all the tarpon stories and told of the power of permit so I guess was on a massive high. \u00a0Still the real thing is so much better and even though we have had 100 lb tarpon to the boat ever day even I was worried about the permit as the weather has not been good and the fish are some 8 miles offshore fingers crossed. \u00a0I like to get there first light so after the tarpon the other day not in a good sea off we went down to just 15 mph but half a chance was going to be better than nothing.<\/p>\n

Well I have to say even for me a dream start, ran through it all with Brian but first cast fish on and what a fish during what was a long and hard fight that left Brian shaking his head Neil also joined in also with a massive fish so they are still here and still feeding. \u00a0 I would put Brian fish a solid 30 lbs and Neil’s a bit bigger about 35 lbs trophy fish with a capital T more pics to come. \u00a0Also on this trip Neil had asked any chance of some action on his new spinning rod \u00a0( \u00a0thanks Cian and yes he did break it not on a fish but in the landing net ) \u00a0but my friends the barracuda ticked all his boxes.<\/p>\n
