Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
As of October twentieth, the Florida Keys in Miami are
experiencing a transition from summer to winter fishing patterns, making
this exciting time to be on the water. Hashtock Weather
and tides today expect partly cloudy skies with a high
of around seventy eight degrees and a low of seventy degrees.
The winds are picking up with northerly winds at twenty
five to thirty miles per hour, which will make offshore
fishing a bit sporty. Tides are moderate, with a high
tide at around ten am and a low tide at
four pm. Sunrise is at seven thirty am and sunset
is at six forty five pm. Fish activity. After the
recent storms, the waters have cleaned up quickly, especially in
the back country. The fish are very hungry, particularly on
the reef where kingfish, mahi, and bonito have been active. Inshore,
baby tarpin and trout are still present, although the flats
are a bit cloudy due to past weather conditions. Catch
report yesterday saw a decent bite of kingfish on the reef,
with some mahi caught out past the colour change and
bonito in between. Chumming heavily helped with the yellowtail bite.
In the back country, trout and pompano were biting well
and a few sheep, shed and black drum were also caught.
Best lures in bait for reef fishing using ballyhou and
threadfins as bait is highly effective. Artificial lures such as
spoons and jigs can also work well for kingfish and
other predators like saro, mackerels, snappers, groupers, and jacks. In
the backcountry, live baits such as mullet and shrimp are
excellent for catching trout, snook, and tarpan hotspots. One of
the hot spots right now is the patch reefs near
Key West, where you can find grouper, snapper, and other
tasty species. The outer reef is also exciting with the
larger sea conditions brought by the north winds for backcountry fishing.
The shallows around the islands provide good cover from the
wind and are home to a variety of species including tarpain, trout,
and snook tips. Keep an eye on the weather fronts
as they can trigger significant feeding activity among the fish.
The full moon on October seventeenth should bring a strong
wahoo bite, so be prepared with big baits like speedos
and ensure you have a wire leader. For snook. Target
the inlets and points with live bait or lures, as
they tend to ambush feed in these areas. Overall, October
is a great month to fish in the Florida Keys
in Miami, with light crowds and cooler temperatures making it
an ideal time to get out on the water. And
that is it for to day. Hit the subscribe button
