Manatee River Snook

Florida Sportsman member: Bassin Assassin Set the hook on a good fish that went ballistic. She went out and then back for the dock. Kept her away and she made a great jump. Circled the boat and Jeff got her in the net. She measured 28.5 inches.

How to Catch Big Jacks: Crevalle, Permit, Amberjack

As a fishing guide, I spend a lot of time chasing jacks, whether that’s the big migrating crevalles on the beach or Intracoastal seawalls, permit on the reefs, inlets or wrecks or amberjacks on the artificial reefs, and of all the great gamefish I pursue, it’s the jack species that break the majority of rods and hearts.

Permit Fishing in the Keys

It is a dream of mine to take a weekend-to-weekend, nine-day trip from one end of the Florida Keys to another, targeting permit exclusively. I would begin on the flats of Biscayne Bay, nearly in the shadow of downtown Miami.

Skeeter SX2250

60 years in the boat building industry is evident in Skeeter’s new Saltwater Series SX2250 Bay Boat. Designed with the serious fisherman in mind, this boat serves a dual role with a super shallow draft and a hull design that will flatten a choppy bay.
