Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,360
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:06,879 --> 00:00:10,080
As of September twenty fourth, twenty twenty four, the Florida

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,759
Keys in Miami are gearing up for an exciting day

5
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:15,919
of fishing despite being in the peak of hurricane season.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,239
Here's what you need to know to make the most

7
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:24,399
of your fishing adventure hash Hoshture. Weather conditions today. You

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,640
can expect warm temperatures with highs in the mid eighties

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,440
to low nineties fahrenheit. Wind speeds will be moderate around

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,320
ten to fifteen mon hour, which is manageable for most

11
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:37,320
fishing trips. However, keep an eye on the weather as

12
00:00:37,359 --> 00:00:42,759
tropical waves can bring sudden rain and rough seas water conditions.

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,320
Water temperatures are still warm, ranging from the mid eighties

14
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:51,439
to low nineties fahrenheit, ideal for a variety of fish species.

15
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,719
Water clarity is generally good, especially in the reef and

16
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:58,079
offshore areas, although it may vary closer to shore due

17
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:02,320
to potential rain and wind. Best fishing spots reef and

18
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:05,760
offshore look for schools of bait fish, particularly mullet, which

19
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,480
are migrating down the coastline. This attracts predatory fish like

20
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,959
Mahi mahi, kingfish, wahoo, and tuna. Use your depth finder

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,480
to locate the color change where the greener water meets

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:22,079
the blue, a hotspot for these species. Mangrove shorelines, snook,

23
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,879
mangrove snapper, jacks, and even some groupers can be found here.

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,920
Live bait such as mullet or shrimp works well in

25
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:34,079
these areas. For bonefish and permit focus on the flats

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:38,319
and channels, especially during the rising tide. Live crabs are

27
00:01:38,359 --> 00:01:42,719
a favorite among permit Offshore, use live bait like pilchards

28
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,359
or mullet for Mahi mahi, wahoo and tuna. For deeper waters,

29
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,560
consider using heavy surf rods with baits suspended at various depths.

30
00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,079
Trolling with planter boards that take the bait about forty

31
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:58,239
five feet down can be effective for kingfish and benitos.

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,400
Surface baits skipping out at five to six knots can

33
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,000
also attract these fish. Mangrove shorelines, live bait such as shrimp, mullet,

34
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:11,240
or small jacks work well for snook and mangrove snapper.

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,560
Fish activity feeding habits. Many fish species are active during

36
00:02:16,599 --> 00:02:20,199
the early morning and late afternoon. Snook are particularly active

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,280
around the deeper cuts and mangrove islands during the incoming tide.

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,599
Depth kingfish and bonitos are often found at depths of

39
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,599
forty five feet or more when trolling the reef. Mahai,

40
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,400
mahi and wahoo can be found in the open waters,

41
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:41,759
sometimes near weed patches or drocl Events and regulations scallop season. Today,

42
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,400
September twenty fourth marks the end of scallop season, so

43
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:48,360
if you're interested in scalloping, this is your last chance

44
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,120
catch limits. Be sure to check the current catch limits

45
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,759
and any closures before heading out. Snook season has just

46
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,199
begun and there may be specific regulations to follow from

47
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:05,360
local anglers. Captain Carlos Lima of CNC Aqua Adventures advises

48
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:07,840
keeping an eye on the weather and using live bait

49
00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:11,680
to maximize your catch. For those fishing along the mangroves,

50
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,280
he recommends staying close to structure and deeper water where

51
00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:19,919
snook and other species tend to congregate. Best times for

52
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,039
fishing early morning ideal for catching species like snook and

53
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,800
mangrove snapper, as they are most active during the incoming tide.

54
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,879
Late afternoon good for offshore fishing as the sun begins

55
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,319
to set, attracting larger predatory fish around the new moon.

56
00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:39,319
The new moon on September second and the full moon

57
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,800
on September seventeenth bring high tides and strong currents, making

58
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,879
these periods excellent for fishing. With these tips and conditions

59
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,759
in mind, you're set for a fantastic day of fishing

60
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,000
in the Florida Keys and Miami. Just remember to stay

61
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,120
safe and keep an eye on the weather. Happy fishing,
