Permit Props and Propaganda

Although we’re not huge on corporate newsletters, our own included, the latest edition of the Palometa Club’s version was dripping with enough permit porn to make us stand erect and salute. It also includes our Passports Mexico piece on Punta Allen and additional words on Mexico flats fishing by Drake contributor Chris Santella in the New York Times.

Via the Palometa Club Newsletter, “All told, 173 anglers paid us a visit this past season (some twice or even 3 times). In a season marked with miserable conditions for the majority of the usual primetime weeks in March, April and May, Palometa Club guests landed 152 permit in the months of January – May. This is 7 shy of the all time season record of 159 permit landed in 2011. If we had 2011 weather in 2012, there is no telling what the count would have been! Nonetheless, not too shabby.”
