00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: This is artificial lore. With your South Florida Keys and

2
00:00:03,759 --> 00:00:08,599
Miami Fishing report for Saturday, October eleventh, twenty twenty five.

3
00:00:09,359 --> 00:00:12,480
Get ready. Today's got all the makings of a classic

4
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,559
keys challenge with changing tides, fresh fall weather, and some

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:19,519
real fish activity. If you know where to go and

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:24,000
what to throw. First, let's talk weather and tides. Overnight

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,039
and into this morning. Winds shifted to the west at

8
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:30,679
around ten to fifteen knots with a lingering northeast swell

9
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:34,679
pushing seas up to four six feet offshore, peaking as

10
00:00:34,679 --> 00:00:37,119
a low rolls out, and that first taste of fall

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,159
air moves in. As reported by the National Weather Service Miami.

12
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,079
Expect a light chop in the bays, but don't be

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,240
surprised if you hit moderate chop and an occasional bigger

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,759
set offshore. Showers and a rumble of thunder are likely,

15
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,479
and heavy rain has produced some flooding in low lying

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,359
coastal spots, particularly in the lower Keys and Miami Beach.

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,359
Tides for Key West show a low at seven thirty

18
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,799
seven am, high at two thirty three pm, next low

19
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,760
at six thirty eight pm. Sunrise came at seven to

20
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,480
twenty three and you got till seven zero three pm

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,680
for sunset. What does this mean for the bite? Falling

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,359
barometer and active tides spell opportunity. Rain runoff near bridges

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,400
and passes will push baitfish into the open, so predator

24
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,799
fish are hunting fish early and late for inshore species

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,040
and target the peak of the afternoon incoming tide offshore

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200
or near the reef. Recent catches up and down the

27
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Keys have been solid despite wet weather. Anglers are reporting

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,920
good numbers of snapper, especially yellowtail and mangrove stacking at

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,400
the deeper reef edges seventy five thousand to one hundred feet.

30
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,840
Use a light fluoral carbon liter and chunked balahu or

31
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:48,560
live pilchards for best results. Snapper action heats up on

32
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,239
both the patcherifs closer to shore and the famed Islamorada

33
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:56,799
humps offshore. Mahi Mai dolphin, though winding down from their

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,719
summer numbers, are still being caught past the four hundred

35
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,439
foot line on weed lines, especially on days following a blow.

36
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:08,240
When foating, the breeze stacks up, trolling small feathers, rig ballyhoo,

37
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,759
or jigging with diamond jigs when you mark baits schools

38
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:16,680
are key Inshore snoke and tarpin are active around bridge

39
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,719
lights at night and along Mangrove shorelines near Flamingo and

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,879
the Upper Keys after the rain. Soft plastics and root

41
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,879
beer or pearl flare. Hawk jigs and live mullet on

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,159
a circle hook are your bread and butter. Tarpin have

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,919
also been taken. Cut ladyfish and pilchards fished on the

44
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,800
bottom near tide changes, especially around Long Key and Channel

45
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,400
five Bridge. Recent YouTube videos show folks getting hookups there

46
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,280
even in less than ideal weather. Backwater redfish and trout

47
00:02:50,599 --> 00:02:53,719
are showing up from the Everglades out to snake bite

48
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,520
on the turn to high tide. A live shrimp under

49
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,479
a pop and cork does work, whileish or gop baits

50
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,120
on jigheads get plenty of hits. Top water walk the

51
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:09,680
dog lures at first light have also been productive, especially

52
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,439
with overcast skies and choppy conditions. For your best baits

53
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:20,120
and lures today, offshore chunk ballahu, live pilchards or squid

54
00:03:20,159 --> 00:03:25,000
strips for snapper and grouper, small jetheads, feathers and chuggers

55
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:30,879
for mahi inshore live mullet, pilchered shrimp under cork doa

56
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:36,919
terrorize gulp, jerk shads, yosii, crystal minnows, night bridge fishing,

57
00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:41,520
flare hawk jigs, paddle tail swim baits, live shrimp. A

58
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,039
couple of hot spots to try. Channel five Bridge for

59
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:49,240
tarpin and snook, especially just after sunrise and at dusk

60
00:03:49,319 --> 00:03:52,759
on the outgoing tide. Western edge of Tennessee Reef for

61
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:56,919
yellowtail snapper, and pick up some grouper on the deeper ledges.

62
00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:01,719
Drifting a frisky pinfish, upper keys ocean side patches around

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:08,080
Alligator Reef for mixed bag action including hogfish and mangrove snapper. Last,

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,960
but not least, check redtide status via Florida Fish and

65
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:17,199
Wildlife's updates before heading out, as some inshore areas had

66
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,920
mild blooms earlier this week, but most of the offshore

67
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,360
zones are clear. Thanks for tuning in to your Florida
