Awesome day slaying chunky ocean sheepys & some exotics too. The welcome surprise of the day was this scrappy permit(released). I haven’t caught one on the Atlantic side since 2013 #permit #sheepshead #grunts #porkfish #dinnerwasdelicious

Happy with the weekend start! Fished a couple different places scouting. Came across some permit action, which is super cool for this area. Caught over a dozen flounder which are out of season now of course. Nabbed a mangrove snapper on a greenback. Rest were caught on a pompano jig. (The intended Target lol). Unfortunately couldn't find the pomps. Have a stellar weekend and keep em tight🤙
