The goal for the weekend was to catch big permit and we picked a good weekend for it because they were there!! Cameron fished with us for the 1st 2 days but he had to leave on the 3rd day. All 3 days we bought 40 crabs and every day we pulled permit in the boat one after another 'till we were out of crabs. We released all the permit since they're spawning this time of year. We also did some dolphin fishing and the schoolies were everywhere in 200-300 feet along with a bunch of small blackfin tuna. We didn't catch any real big dolphin but the schoolies kept us busy. We trolled big and little lures, but the C&H rattle jets and stubbybubblers got almost all the hits. Cameron had the bright idea to stop and catch a few jacks on the arrow jigs and that was fun for a little bit but after 6 or 7 fish we left. The permit had us sore so the jacks were able to whoop us a lot quicker than normal. The 3rd day was the big fish day for the permit. The permit were averaging between 15-30lbs but on the 3rd day we got a few that topped 40lbs on the boga grip. It was a fun action-packed weekend. I can't wait to do it again.
we also had a school of yellow jacks that came up the the boat while we were permit fishing so we had to catch a few since it was so easy.

I posted a quick video of the 1st day permit fishing on my site at www.Extremefishingadventures.net when you click on the video, if it gos slow, hit pause and give it 15 seconds to load. I have had alot of hits on it this week so it gos a little slow when several people watch it at the same time. days 2 and 3 were even better I'll put those videos up soon. Thanks and enjoy
all I can say is...
HOLY CRAP!
