500th Permit Update: 498

They came VERY close but this week’s group did not seal the deal on the 500th Permit today, so the opportunity passes to a whole new group of anglers arriving tomorrow. It certainly wasn’t for lack of trying, or lack of fish. Eizo got back on the board today with his second fish, Wake got his fourth! of the week, and Masa broke off a nice permit AND a hundred-pound tarpon (he was flirtin’ with a serious slam). Hats of to our great friends from Japan and our pal Dave Staub from Colorado. You were all a cherished part of making some amazing history for The Palometa Club this week.

Friday is our turn-around-day so there will be nobody fishing tomorrow. Watch for the next update Saturday evening!
