Episode 91: Jay Grant - The Greatest Permit Fisherman You've Never Heard Of

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!
