The tension on board is incredible as all eyes are on the black, sickle shaped tail piercing the surface. A Permit is digging into the turtle grass for his usual crab dinner, unaware that the morsel he is about to devour is attached to your arm by way of that magnificent combination of graphite, aluminum, and nylon known as a rod, reel, and line. The hook is set and the Permit blasts off the flat, melting line from the reel at an alarming rate. You are now experiencing the unbelievable speed, power, and endurance that only a Permit can provide. As the third leg of the flats "GRAND SLAM", this elusive creature is truly a prize worth pursuing.
