00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Artificial lure. Here with your local fishing report for the

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,160
Florida Keys in Miami, Thursday, August twenty eighth, twenty twenty five.

3
00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:10,359
Let's get right into it. Today was a classic late

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,119
summer day on the water, with solid action for those

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,480
who timed their trips around some dynamic tides and favorable weather.

6
00:00:16,879 --> 00:00:20,079
In Miami, sunrise hit at six fifty eight am and

7
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:23,800
sunsets wrapping up tonight at seven forty five pm. Over

8
00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:26,879
in Key West, first light was at seven oh one am,

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,320
and we'll see the sun down at eight oh one pm.

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,640
If you were out early, you know that's when things

11
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,799
started to pop. Both Miami Beach and the Keys are

12
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,399
seeing strong tidle swings today. High title coefficients of eighty

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,439
one in Miami and eighty in Key West mean heavy

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,200
current and solid water movement, a big trigger for feeding activity.

15
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,000
According to Tide's fore Fishing and Tide Forecast, low tide

16
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,399
came just before sunrise, then built to a late morning high.

17
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:57,600
Miami's first high tide was at eleven oh five am,

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,719
key West's at one fifty three pm. If you miss

19
00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:04,439
those moving water windows, you probably found the mid afternoon

20
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:08,120
bite a little slow weatherwise, were still under warm, muggy

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,040
skies with those classic southeast breezes laying down enough chop

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,719
to keep the bait nervous. No major storms reported, just

23
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,599
at persistent subtropical energy we expect in August. Let's talk

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,319
about what's biting. The Florida Insider fishing report has been

25
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:25,799
lit up all week with catches of Mahi ma'i out

26
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,879
past the reefs, especially off Marathon and Islamorada. Most fish

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,359
running schoolly size, but some bigger bowls pushing twenty pounds

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,000
in the mix. By the color changes and rips on

29
00:01:36,079 --> 00:01:39,519
the reefs, mangrove snapper are still loaded up, and yellowtail

30
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:41,879
are thick just outside the patch reefs from forty to

31
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,040
seventy feet tarpin or running steady on the bridge channels

32
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,719
around Channel two and five, with a few big boys

33
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:51,280
reported at sunset. Inshore bone fish and permit have been

34
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:54,799
tailing early on quiet flats, especially around Sugar Loaf and

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,640
Biscayme Bay on that tide, Slitch, snapper and grouper reports

36
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,840
are solid from near shore legs and for the bridge crowd,

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760
steady action with snoke in the shadow lines just about

38
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:09,879
everywhere from Tavernir to the Miami Causeways. According to captain experiences,

39
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,840
most guides are running a mix of light tackle, live

40
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,879
bait and artificial lures, trolling plugs and vertical jigs offshore,

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,800
while beach and jetti anglers are doing well on paddle

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,639
tails and topwater walkers early. As for what's pulling best,

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560
early morning and just after tide changes are your prime windows. Offshore,

44
00:02:28,879 --> 00:02:31,919
trolled bally Hue and Benita strips with bright skirts are

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,919
out catching everything, but don't overlook big flashy diving plugs

46
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,080
on the reefs. Cup pilchards and live shrimp are still

47
00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:42,400
keen for snapper, while a two ounce pink bucktailed jig

48
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,560
can fire up just about anything sitting below the bait schools.

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
If you're chasing tarpain at dusk, nothing beats a big

50
00:02:48,759 --> 00:02:52,400
mullet or live crab drifted near current edges. Top layer

51
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,000
