00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,120
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:09,800
As of October twentieth, the Florida Keys in Miami are

4
00:00:09,839 --> 00:00:14,480
experiencing a transition from summer to winter fishing patterns, making

5
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:18,480
this exciting time to be on the water. Hashtock Weather

6
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:22,000
and tides today expect partly cloudy skies with a high

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,960
of around seventy eight degrees and a low of seventy degrees.

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,640
The winds are picking up with northerly winds at twenty

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,600
five to thirty miles per hour, which will make offshore

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,000
fishing a bit sporty. Tides are moderate, with a high

11
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:37,399
tide at around ten am and a low tide at

12
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:41,159
four pm. Sunrise is at seven thirty am and sunset

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,039
is at six forty five pm. Fish activity. After the

14
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,280
recent storms, the waters have cleaned up quickly, especially in

15
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,479
the back country. The fish are very hungry, particularly on

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,719
the reef where kingfish, mahi, and bonito have been active. Inshore,

17
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,280
baby tarpin and trout are still present, although the flats

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,120
are a bit cloudy due to past weather conditions. Catch

19
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:08,000
report yesterday saw a decent bite of kingfish on the reef,

20
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:11,159
with some mahi caught out past the colour change and

21
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,239
bonito in between. Chumming heavily helped with the yellowtail bite.

22
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,120
In the back country, trout and pompano were biting well

23
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:22,560
and a few sheep, shed and black drum were also caught.

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,159
Best lures in bait for reef fishing using ballyhou and

25
00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:30,200
threadfins as bait is highly effective. Artificial lures such as

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:33,040
spoons and jigs can also work well for kingfish and

27
00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:37,920
other predators like saro, mackerels, snappers, groupers, and jacks. In

28
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,879
the backcountry, live baits such as mullet and shrimp are

29
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,519
excellent for catching trout, snook, and tarpan hotspots. One of

30
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:48,959
the hot spots right now is the patch reefs near

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,680
Key West, where you can find grouper, snapper, and other

32
00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,200
tasty species. The outer reef is also exciting with the

33
00:01:55,319 --> 00:02:00,000
larger sea conditions brought by the north winds for backcountry fishing.

34
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,920
The shallows around the islands provide good cover from the

35
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:07,079
wind and are home to a variety of species including tarpain, trout,

36
00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:11,840
and snook tips. Keep an eye on the weather fronts

37
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,400
as they can trigger significant feeding activity among the fish.

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,759
The full moon on October seventeenth should bring a strong

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960
wahoo bite, so be prepared with big baits like speedos

40
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,879
and ensure you have a wire leader. For snook. Target

41
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:28,639
the inlets and points with live bait or lures, as

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:33,240
they tend to ambush feed in these areas. Overall, October

43
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,080
is a great month to fish in the Florida Keys

44
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,680
in Miami, with light crowds and cooler temperatures making it

45
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:41,639
an ideal time to get out on the water. And
