first time in 2 months surf fishing, still very slow but, water temp is falling.

That's some good eating, cant wait till the water drops below 70

Is that a permit?

 

[Aquahollic]

Is that a juvenile Permit? It's not a Pompano, the dorsal and anal fins are too long

its a permit and the small ones are not that uncomon here especialy in the late summer to early fall u are not likely to catch 1 but there may be 10 to 40 caught most years they are rarely over 5 lbs but around 5 or 6 years ago there were 2 weeks in febuary where 10 or 15 were caught in destin harbor all between 8 and 12 lbs fish do wiered things where they came from that year or where they went is a mystery most i heard were reliesed to bad none were tagged but there are no finces fish swim so who knows

Awesome permit! Congratulations! That is amazing.

I was lucky enough to catch another member of the pompano family, the Palometa, a few years ago off the beach between Jacksonville and St. Augustine.

I catch 3 or 4 every year during the fall run. They are more common than you would think around here this time of year.

This is going to make me go back through my pompano pictures lol

 

[Magic Mike]

Dangermon's pic... that pompano looks pissed off!

 

[weedline]

no reason to go back and look at pics if u catch a permit u will know unless u are a complete novice they are deeper bodied have a smaler eye look way darker after they die im sure there are more scientific ways to tell but its like a spanish and a king all it takes is 1 look to know u have 2 different fish yes they may both be mackerels but thats about it same with a pomp and juivinal permit yes they are both in the ponpano jack family put put 1 next to the other its hard not to see a substantial difference in the fish just look at this fish compared to a pompano its obviously different and they are not uncomon here nor are the palmentas and i have even caught african pompano in pensacola bay
