Capt. Eric Jose
What a day. It was perfect from the start. Weather was beautiful. Man, I love Sebastian Florida. Jose Is from the Orlando area and is in management sales. We have been trying to get together and fish for a month or so but the weather is always crud. We met up at Sebastian Inlet boat ramp and went straight to a near by beach and caught some crabs. We could only get 11. Next we caught a few live baits, which we never even used.
Once we arrived at the spot Jose casts a crab out and gets a hit. He hooks up on a nice Permit. He does a good job of fighting that fish. It was 14lbs. On the next drift he gets hit again and lands a 12lb. Permit. Next drift he misses the hit. Next Drift he hooks up again and grabs the spool and breaks it. OOOPS!!! Well the bite was on fire!!! It might be the best that I have ever seen it. Every drift we were hooking up. I was fishing shrimp and hooked up with a Permit and was fighting the fish when Jose was still was drifting a crab and hooked up as well. We were doubled up with mad Permit. They were screaming left and right. We had to go across each other 3 or 4 times. It was perfect footwork. They were both smaller fish 10lb range. After that I caught one more and Jose caught two more which gave him total 5 on the day. His biggest was the last fish which was 24.5 lbs. FATTY!!! What a day, the Permit were hungry and aggressive!!! We decided to call it quits and head back around 1:30 p.m. Jose it was a pleasure fishing with you. Thanks again !!! P.S don’t forget to email that pic to me…
