Bonefish Are not pressured by fly fishermen, they are extremely smart. And they did not get this big by being dumb. Permit upwards of 30 lbs, frequent this area, frustrating most fishermen with a fly rod. They will occasionally cruise the shore line within casting distance. Most times you will be quietly stalking this fish a little further out on the flat. If you are lucky enough to fool one, hold on, Permits are a strong and extremely hard fighting fish. Barracuda in varying sizes and quantities are seen regularly in these waters. Tarpon are also found here during the warmer months.
