1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,399
Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers. This is artificial lower reporting from the

2
00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:06,160
heart of the Florida Keys to Miami on a classic

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,240
late seventeenth Saturday, the twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. We're

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,359
kicking things off with fair tides and a promising byte window,

5
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:16,559
so let's get into it first. Up the tide report

6
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:20,719
in Miami. High tide just passed at six zero six am,

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,320
with the next high swinging by at twelve twenty nine

8
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:27,160
pm and another low settling around six thirty two pm.

9
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,920
North Miami Beach is seeing pretty slack tidal coefficients today,

10
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,920
so current and water movement are moderate at best. Down

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,759
in Key West, the morning low hits at seven fifty

12
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:41,560
five am, high tide at two seventeen pm, and low

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,920
again at six thirty five PM. It's a gentler swing

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,039
than last week, but just enough choose for predators to

15
00:00:48,119 --> 00:00:53,200
prow especially around moving water. Reached US astro fag time

16
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,719
mid eighties with just a light southeast breeze blowing ten

17
00:00:56,799 --> 00:01:01,039
to twelve knots, mostly sunny and sees right round two feet.

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,040
Water clarity solid around the flats pat reefs in the

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,640
back country, but the outside edge might get a touch

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,239
sporty with that braze. Sunrise punched in at seven eleven

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,359
am over Miami and seven to seventeen am in Key

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,280
West with sunset just after seven to ten pm. These

23
00:01:17,359 --> 00:01:20,760
daylight hours are prime stick with don and pre sunset

24
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:23,719
for your best shot when everything's hunting the tides on

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,079
the fishing front. Reports from local guides and tackle shop

26
00:01:27,159 --> 00:01:30,920
chatter say the bite's been classic fall. Florida variety is

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
the spice, but the silver kings and mangrove snapper have

28
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,920
been the headline act. Offshore, Mahi mahi are busting reed

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,719
lines and frigate birds are your sign Most were in

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,280
the ten eighteen pound range, with a handful pushing twenty five.

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,200
Sailfish have started making scattershot appearances on the edge, especially

32
00:01:49,239 --> 00:01:53,239
when the current's moving. Inshore pilchards and pinfish have schooled

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,480
hard around the bridge pilings, bringing in hefty schools of

34
00:01:56,519 --> 00:01:59,280
snook and jacks, while the near shore wrecks are giving

35
00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:02,760
up some chunky yellowtail with keeper mutton snapper mixed in.

36
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,680
Early risers in Florida Bay have been seeing steady bonefish

37
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:10,800
action across the ocean side flats, though slick windless mornings

38
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,199
have produced singles and double digit days for the quiet stalkers.

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,879
Best baits and lures for offshore mahi used chartreuse and

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,560
pink feathered jigs. Skirted balahou rigs were trolling. Benito strips

41
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:28,159
pilchards slow trolled around structure are turning up big kingfish

42
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,879
on the reef. Cut squid and shrimp catch everything, but

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,680
the locals swear yellowtail can't lay off. A small bucktail

44
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,840
jig tipped with silverside for bones in permit. Live shrimp,

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,360
crab flies, and tan or white soft plastics remain unbeatable

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,919
around the bridges and backcountry mangroves. Topwater walk the dog

47
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,680
lures early, then switch to paddle tails or live pilchards

48
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:56,879
as the sun climbs. Cotspots anglers work in the islamor

49
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,159
to humper still chasing schooley may keep an eye out

50
00:03:00,199 --> 00:03:03,319
for current rips and weed lines. The seven mile Bridge

51
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,520
at first light is a solid bet for snook, snapper,

52
00:03:06,759 --> 00:03:09,759
and even the odd tarpin down around Smather's Beach in

53
00:03:09,879 --> 00:03:13,000
Key West, nighttime dock lights have lit up with plenty

54
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,960
of snapper and jacks. In Miami, haulover Inlet on an

55
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,960
outgoing tide and a north side of Government Cut are

56
00:03:20,039 --> 00:03:24,319
both reporting solid tarpin bites at dusk. Numbers wise boats

57
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,479
this week of landed limits of yellowtail twelve to fourteen

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,560
per person average, a few handfuls of schooly Mai slot

59
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,639
sized snook and some big Barracudah thrown in for fun.

60
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Several flax guides out of Marathon and Big Pine have

61
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,879
been seeing three to five bones per trip, with a

62
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:44,759
couple of sneaky permit following stingrays. If you're waiting out

63
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:48,360
or putting in the skiff today, remember shaded sungrasses, plenty

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,199
of water and touch base with local regulations. Lobster many

65
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,080
seasons over, but slot and bag limits still keep FWC busy.
