| Tommygunn.....nice red! Be sure to give credit for the fly rod! This will bring back some memories.......Est. 42.5# Black Drum caught on a black rattle clouser. 
Little snook at my "snook hole" near Simmons Park, Tampa Bay. 
Just a great photo taken by Lakeland Ledger photographer Michael Wilson, AKA SnookMook 
It's only $25.00. If you fish inshore, anywhere in Florida, you have no excuse!

| I have to be honest with you, that was only my second saltwater fly fishing trip. On my first trip to Belize I hooked into a permit on the first day, first flat ( I know now how lucky I really was), and after a 5 second scream it snapped me off on coral. I caught a half dozen bonefish on that trip and was blown away by how such a small fish could rip out line and bend an 8wt like it did, but to me it didn't compare to that permit. On this last trip my guild and I figured we saw close to 100 permit in 5 days and had a shot at around 30, that being said we did nothing but hunt permit for five days straight. Next time I go it will be hard to pull me from the permit flats or the lagoon where it's a whole different permit game. I guess im an addict.
