Speaker 1: Artificial lore. Here with your Saturday August sixteenth, twenty twenty

2
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:07,320
five fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami area

3
00:00:07,879 --> 00:00:12,199
delav honest and straight from local waters. Sunrise hit at

4
00:00:12,199 --> 00:00:15,480
seven oh two am, and you can expect sunset around

5
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:19,039
eight pm, giving you a full day of action. Tides

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,039
out of Key West today are prime for moving water.

7
00:00:22,719 --> 00:00:25,839
High tide rolled in at three twenty three am, low

8
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,199
tide swings at ten thirty am, with another high at

9
00:00:29,239 --> 00:00:32,240
five twenty seven pm, and the day wraps out with

10
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:36,320
low at nine to eighteen pm. The tidal coreficients are

11
00:00:36,439 --> 00:00:39,719
up sitting high, which means strong current and good feeding

12
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:43,719
opportunities throughout the day, especially early morning and into the

13
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:48,560
dusk hours. According to Tides for Fishing Weather's Classic Keys,

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,799
mostly partly cloudy, winds around ten to fifteen miles per

15
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,799
hour out of the southeast, and the heat is steady

16
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:59,679
with lows in the mid seventies and humidity around ninety percent.

17
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,320
The National Weather Service says expect light chop on the

18
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,760
near shore with seas running about a foot. Don't be

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,000
surprised by a quick passing shower or boom of thunder,

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:13,840
but nothing out of the ordinary for August. Water temps

21
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,519
are hanging warm, so target comfort zones near structure and

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,920
current breaks. Red tide status from the Florida Fish and

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,519
Wildlife Commission is looking good. Care any of braviss is

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,079
at background levels in the region. No reported fish kills,

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,920
no major issues for respiratory irritation this week, so it's

26
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,439
all clear to hit it hard. Fish activity is hot.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,959
The Gulf side is lighting up with Spanish mackerel, kingfish, kobia,

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,760
big jacks, and hungry sharks. Florida Bay and backcountry waters

29
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:50,560
are loaded with spickled trout, snook, redfish, mangrove, snapper, and more. Jacks.

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,680
Offshor has been steady with Ma Mai filling the fish boxes,

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,480
especially for those running the color changes and weed lines

32
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,400
about ten to twenty miles. According to Captain Experience's recent reports,

33
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:07,159
the Key Largo and Islamorada crews have been crushing a

34
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,599
mixed bag. Families are bringing home lobster, anglers, putting the

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,960
hammer down on snappers and bull dolphin up to twenty

36
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,599
five pounds. Best baits right now are live pilchards, pinfish,

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,360
and mullet, which you can net up around the grass

38
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,840
flats at first light for artificials, white bucktailed jigs tipped

39
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:29,960
with gulp or cut bait. Get it done for almost everything.

40
00:02:30,439 --> 00:02:33,120
If you're in the shallow patch reefs, try a paddle

41
00:02:33,199 --> 00:02:37,120
tail soft plastic or the new wake mullet lure from saltstrong.

42
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,319
The wobble is deadly and requires little effort. Remember the

43
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,680
four rights. Use the right lure in the right spot

44
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,599
at the right time, with the right retrieve, and the

45
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Florida keys will reward you. Hot spots today include the

46
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:56,280
long Key Bridge. Hard running tide brings in tarpin, snook

47
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,240
and snapper, all stacked around the pilings on moving water.

48
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,960
Drift a live bait bat for tarpin or cast jigs

49
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:09,159
for snapper. Long Key Islamorada hump. If you're running off shore,

50
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,400
hit the hump for black fin, tuna, mahi and big jacks.

51
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,719
Trolled feathers and vertical jigs both work. Keep an eye

52
00:03:17,759 --> 00:03:23,479
for birds. Marathon patch reefs excellent for mangrove, snapper, yellowtail

53
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,240
and the odd mutton. Anchoring up with chum and freeline

54
00:03:27,319 --> 00:03:30,879
live baits back in the slick draws them out. Mask

55
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,879
In Miami, the government cut and haul over inlet always

56
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,919
worth the effort for snook, tarpin and a shot at

57
00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:41,599
permit around the channel edges, especially at dawn or dusk

58
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400
when the predators are pushing bait up. Keep your leaders fresh,

59
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,639
watch that live well, oxygen and match the hatch. This

60
00:03:49,719 --> 00:03:52,680
weekend is stacked for success. Thanks for tuning in to
