00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,799
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys,

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,519
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,919
As of October seventeenth, the fishing scene in the Florida

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,359
Keys and Miami is buzzing with activity, especially with the

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,960
full moon. Today, weather and tides. The weather is expected

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,559
to be partly cloudy with northerly winds picking up to

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,239
twenty five to thirty miles per hour, which will make

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,760
the seas a bit sporty. Sunrise is at seven twenty

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,920
eight am and sunset will be at six fifty three pm.

10
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:32,960
Tides are moderate, with a high tide at nine fifteen

11
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:37,119
am and a low tide at three fifteen pm. Hashsharp

12
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,920
fish activity. Yesterday saw a decent bite of kingfish on

13
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:44,039
the reef, along with some mahi and bonito out past

14
00:00:44,079 --> 00:00:47,439
the colour change. The waters have cleaned up quickly after

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:52,240
the last storm, making conditions favorable for fishing in the backcountry.

16
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,079
Baby tarpin are active, although the flats are still a

17
00:00:55,079 --> 00:00:58,799
bit cloudy due to past weather conditions. Catch report. Kingfish

18
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:01,679
have been abundant on the reef, with some sailfish also

19
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:06,000
being caught on longer offshore trips. Inshore snook are active

20
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:09,239
near the inlets and points where there is current, ambushing

21
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,200
bait schools as they move closer to shore. Tarpin though smaller,

22
00:01:13,439 --> 00:01:17,599
are still present in their usual haunts. Best lures and

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,640
bait for kingfish and sailfish. Using spoons or live baits

24
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,239
such as ballyhu and threadfins has been effective. For snook.

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,480
Live bait or lures cast near points and inlets where

26
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:32,000
there is current are recommended. Wahoo expected to be active

27
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,799
around the full moon can be targeted with big baits

28
00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:39,159
like speedos or large ballyhoo using a wire leader. Hotspots

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,560
the reef patch reefs near Key West are hotspots for grouper, snapper,

30
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:49,920
and kingfish, especially with the northerly winds exciting the bite. Backcountry,

31
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:53,120
the shallows and basins around Key West provide good cover

32
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,799
from the wind and are ideal for targeting tarpan, snook

33
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:01,280
and trout. Inlets inlets from Palm Beach down to Miami

34
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:05,079
are good spots for snook, especially with live bait or lures.

35
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:08,319
This time of year. The changing weather patterns and bait

36
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,240
migrations make for exciting and dynamic fishing conditions. Keep an

37
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,800
eye on the weather and be prepared to adapt your

38
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,639
fishing strategy accordingly. And that is it for today. Hit
