Permit
Permit fishing near Marathon Shores is a challenge that attracts anglers from all over. These elusive fish are known for their intelligence and wariness, requiring patience and skill to catch. Focus on areas with structure, such as wrecks, reefs, and channels, where permit often congregate. Spring and fall are considered the best times, coinciding with crab migrations. Live crabs are the go-to bait, but presentation is crucial. One local tip: chumming lightly with crushed crabs can draw permit into your fishing area. Also, pay attention to the wind; a light breeze can help mask your presence and make it easier to approach these wary fish. The waters around the Seven Mile Bridge are known permit hotspots. Be prepared for a long day and bring plenty of patience.
