There are anglers who will stand in the bow of a boat for hours waiting for a single cast at a permit. I am not one of them. Last year, I had two shots at these fish with the body of a bleached green sunfish on steroids and a fin that resembles a stick moving through the water.
My friend, Tom, explained that when fishing for a tarpon strip set once, then set again hard to get the hook into their cartilaginous mouths. “With a permit,” Tom explained, “the fish will do most of the work. It is a light strip set, and then it is off to the races.”
