Hi Robert,
Key West is the best place for permit. We fish for permit both inshore and offshore so I will suggest guides for both:

The Clinch knot is definitely a knot you need to know. I know a lot of knots and still find myself tying a good, old fashioned Clinch Knot in many situations. The real key to making sure you tie it correctly is to inspect it and make sure that the barrels are stacked, not hopping over one another.
