Permit Fishing in Florida
Florida is one of the top destinations for Permit fishing on the Southeast coast. Wary, powerful flats fish considered one of the ultimate fly rod prizes, making Florida's waters an ideal habitat during peak season.
Best Time to Go: Permit fishing in Florida typically peaks March to June. In the Keys and Biscayne Bay Special Permit Zone, permit harvest is closed April 1 to July 31. Catch and release stays open. See the Florida fishing calendar.
What to Expect: Most Florida charter trips targeting Permit run 4–8 hours and include all tackle, bait, and fishing licenses. Bring sunscreen, snacks, and a cooler for your catch. Captains on Unreel are not charged commissions, so 100% of your payment goes to the captain.
