[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hile Bimini is renowned for its fantastic bonefishing, another prize species that can certainly bend a rod is permit. September will bring great permit action for the angler who wants something a little different. The fish will be on the larger end of the scale for sure based on what we saw in August, typically in the 30- to 35-pound range, and some larger. While the day time temperatures are still on the warm side, the waters surrounding Bimini will begin to cool due to the short length of day. This will bring more bonefish out onto the flats for longer periods of time. You will still find fish in the deep channels and edges, however, and particularly near moving water. There will be more singles and doubles cruising further out onto the flats and you will see more tailing than over the last couple of months. For even more diversity, you will be able to target tarpon, barracuda and jacks as well. Live bait (crabs and shrimp) will be most effective. Nearshore reef fishing activity will include all variety of snapper, muttonfish, grouper, trigger fish and more. September is a great month to visit the Biminis and we hope to see you soon.
