Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers. This is artificial lower reporting from the
heart of the Florida Keys to Miami on a classic
late seventeenth Saturday, the twenty seventh, twenty twenty five. We're
kicking things off with fair tides and a promising byte window,
so let's get into it first. Up the tide report
in Miami. High tide just passed at six zero six am,
with the next high swinging by at twelve twenty nine
pm and another low settling around six thirty two pm.
North Miami Beach is seeing pretty slack tidal coefficients today,
so current and water movement are moderate at best. Down
in Key West, the morning low hits at seven fifty
five am, high tide at two seventeen pm, and low
again at six thirty five PM. It's a gentler swing
than last week, but just enough choose for predators to
prow especially around moving water. Reached US astro fag time
mid eighties with just a light southeast breeze blowing ten
to twelve knots, mostly sunny and sees right round two feet.
Water clarity solid around the flats pat reefs in the
back country, but the outside edge might get a touch
sporty with that braze. Sunrise punched in at seven eleven
am over Miami and seven to seventeen am in Key
West with sunset just after seven to ten pm. These
daylight hours are prime stick with don and pre sunset
for your best shot when everything's hunting the tides on
the fishing front. Reports from local guides and tackle shop
chatter say the bite's been classic fall. Florida variety is
the spice, but the silver kings and mangrove snapper have
been the headline act. Offshore, Mahi mahi are busting reed
lines and frigate birds are your sign Most were in
the ten eighteen pound range, with a handful pushing twenty five.
Sailfish have started making scattershot appearances on the edge, especially
when the current's moving. Inshore pilchards and pinfish have schooled
hard around the bridge pilings, bringing in hefty schools of
snook and jacks, while the near shore wrecks are giving
up some chunky yellowtail with keeper mutton snapper mixed in.
Early risers in Florida Bay have been seeing steady bonefish
action across the ocean side flats, though slick windless mornings
have produced singles and double digit days for the quiet stalkers.
Best baits and lures for offshore mahi used chartreuse and
pink feathered jigs. Skirted balahou rigs were trolling. Benito strips
pilchards slow trolled around structure are turning up big kingfish
on the reef. Cut squid and shrimp catch everything, but
the locals swear yellowtail can't lay off. A small bucktail
jig tipped with silverside for bones in permit. Live shrimp,
crab flies, and tan or white soft plastics remain unbeatable
around the bridges and backcountry mangroves. Topwater walk the dog
lures early, then switch to paddle tails or live pilchards
as the sun climbs. Cotspots anglers work in the islamor
to humper still chasing schooley may keep an eye out
for current rips and weed lines. The seven mile Bridge
at first light is a solid bet for snook, snapper,
and even the odd tarpin down around Smather's Beach in
Key West, nighttime dock lights have lit up with plenty
of snapper and jacks. In Miami, haulover Inlet on an
outgoing tide and a north side of Government Cut are
both reporting solid tarpin bites at dusk. Numbers wise boats
this week of landed limits of yellowtail twelve to fourteen
per person average, a few handfuls of schooly Mai slot
sized snook and some big Barracudah thrown in for fun.
Several flax guides out of Marathon and Big Pine have
been seeing three to five bones per trip, with a
couple of sneaky permit following stingrays. If you're waiting out
or putting in the skiff today, remember shaded sungrasses, plenty
of water and touch base with local regulations. Lobster many
seasons over, but slot and bag limits still keep FWC busy.
