The Force is Strong: Belizean Permit Edition

Photo Credit M. Mendez

Our Facebook pal and fellow Texan, Michael Mendez, recently got things done in Belize.  He landed this magnificent Permit while fishing the waters of Ambergris Caye at the El Pescador resort.  He gave a lot of credit to his guide, Micheal for putting him on this beast.  

This photo got me excited about my own trip to Belize coming up  later this year.  However, the fact that it took Michael three years to finally land one of these fish is not lost on me. Permit are by no means an easy catch. Nicely done Michael!  In the mean time, i'll just keep reminding myself not to trout set.

March Merkin Permit Tournament

The second annual March Merkin Permit Tournament will kick off March 13th and run until March 16th in Key West Florida. The event is limited to 25 boats and was booked up until just recently when according to the Midcurrent web site a cancellation has opened two slots for anglers.

We will most likely be pulling for the boat being captained by guide Justin Rea of Sting Rea Charters.
