00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,719
Miami and here's what is bending our rods today. As

3
00:00:06,759 --> 00:00:10,039
of October thirty first, the Florida Keys and Miami area

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:14,240
are experiencing some fantastic fishing conditions, making it an ideal

5
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:18,960
time to hit the waters. Half tash, tar weather and tides. Today,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,160
you can expect a mild fall day with temperatures ranging

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,120
from the mid seventies to the low eighties. The winds

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,559
are northeasterly, medium to heavier, which is typical for this

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,079
time of year. Tides are higher than normal, which is

10
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:36,159
great for flats fishing. Sunrises at around seven thirty am

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,479
and sunset will be at about six fifteen pm. Fish

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,600
activity the fall bait migration is in full swing, bringing

13
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:47,079
massive groups of baitfish down the coasts and into the

14
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:51,560
Everglades and Florida Keys. This migration attracts a variety of predators,

15
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,600
making for some exciting fishing. Yesterday, we saw big groups

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,280
of tarpain, particularly in the late season, showing that October

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,520
is known for red fish and snook fishing have been stellar,

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,319
with some lunker sized snook in the twelve to eighteen

19
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:08,159
pound range and black drum up to twenty five pounds

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,319
being caught types of fish. In addition to tarpin, snook

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,640
and black drum, there have been plenty of redfish, juvenile

22
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:21,040
goliath grouper, and the occasional juvenile tarpin. Bonefish on the

23
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,480
flats have also been active, taking advantage of the higher

24
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:27,239
tides to explore different parts of the flats in bay.

25
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,879
Best lures in bait for targeting these species. Live baits

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,400
such as shrimp, mullet, and pinfish have been very effective

27
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,560
for lures. Soft plastics like doa shrimp and mere olure.

28
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,200
Suspending baits are working well. Jigs and spoons are also

29
00:01:43,239 --> 00:01:46,400
good options, especially for the larger snook and black drum.

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,519
Hash hot spots. Some of the best places to fish

31
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,159
right now include the protected areas around the islands, the creeks, canals,

32
00:01:55,239 --> 00:01:58,599
and shorelines of Flamingo and the mainland of South Florida.

33
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:03,040
The flats around Esla Morada are also producing some great catches,

34
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,239
especially with the higher tides. Overall, October is a great

35
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,520
time to fish in the Florida Keys. In Miami, with

36
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,080
fewer boats on the water and plenty of fish to

37
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,800
go around enjoy your trip, and that is it for today.
