The greatest permit fisherman could possibly be a man you’ve never
heard of. He’s a man that has caught over 260 permit by himself
either out of his kayak or wading. Jay Grant never had the funds to
hire guides or mentors. He dissected the tides and popular permit
flats from Key Largo to the distant flats west of Key West all on
his own. He has struggled much of his life with alcohol and drugs
and even spent some time incarcerated. There, he learned how to
wood work which gave him some money in his pocket and a chance to
get ahead. He’s lived out of his truck for years and now a sailboat
near Key West. On today’s podcast, Jay reveals many things he
rarely speaks about….. We hope you enjoy!
