Permit
Chasing permit around Siesta Key requires understanding the nuances of Sarasota Bay and the Gulf. These wary fish are drawn to the shallow flats and nearshore structure. Spring and fall migrations are prime times as permit shadow crab and shrimp migrations. Focus your efforts on the edges of sandbars and around docks. A live crab is hard to beat, but a well-presented shrimp imitation can also trigger a strike. Pay close attention to water clarity; permit are notoriously skittish in murky conditions. Accessing the flats by kayak or small skiff from the public beach access points is a great way to cover ground quietly. Remember to check local regulations for size and bag limits, and consider practicing catch and release to help maintain this incredible fishery.
