Short Description of Catch: Whilst fishing out of Manuel Chac Lodge, Punta Allen and having already taken a 26lb Barra on light spinning gear and numerous Bonefish, the guide spotted two Permit cruising within 40ft of the boat.  We quickly entered the waste deep water and on the second cast the fish took.  30 minutes later the smile says it all.

Later in the day whilst going for a grand slam a 7lb + Bonefish took my tarpon fly to round off a perfect day.

Thanks go to Sportfish (Jonathon Tomlinson) for advise on tackle, tactics and flies.
