Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys,
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
As of October seventeenth, the fishing scene in the Florida
Keys and Miami is buzzing with activity, especially with the
full moon. Today, weather and tides. The weather is expected
to be partly cloudy with northerly winds picking up to
twenty five to thirty miles per hour, which will make
the seas a bit sporty. Sunrise is at seven twenty
eight am and sunset will be at six fifty three pm.
Tides are moderate, with a high tide at nine fifteen
am and a low tide at three fifteen pm. Hashsharp
fish activity. Yesterday saw a decent bite of kingfish on
the reef, along with some mahi and bonito out past
the colour change. The waters have cleaned up quickly after
the last storm, making conditions favorable for fishing in the backcountry.
Baby tarpin are active, although the flats are still a
bit cloudy due to past weather conditions. Catch report. Kingfish
have been abundant on the reef, with some sailfish also
being caught on longer offshore trips. Inshore snook are active
near the inlets and points where there is current, ambushing
bait schools as they move closer to shore. Tarpin though smaller,
are still present in their usual haunts. Best lures and
bait for kingfish and sailfish. Using spoons or live baits
such as ballyhu and threadfins has been effective. For snook.
Live bait or lures cast near points and inlets where
there is current are recommended. Wahoo expected to be active
around the full moon can be targeted with big baits
like speedos or large ballyhoo using a wire leader. Hotspots
the reef patch reefs near Key West are hotspots for grouper, snapper,
and kingfish, especially with the northerly winds exciting the bite. Backcountry,
the shallows and basins around Key West provide good cover
from the wind and are ideal for targeting tarpan, snook
and trout. Inlets inlets from Palm Beach down to Miami
are good spots for snook, especially with live bait or lures.
This time of year. The changing weather patterns and bait
migrations make for exciting and dynamic fishing conditions. Keep an
eye on the weather and be prepared to adapt your
fishing strategy accordingly. And that is it for today. Hit
