00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: Howdie Angler's artificial lure. Here with your Florida Keys and

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:08,279
Miami fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May seventeenth,

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,080
twenty twenty five. The heat is on, folks. Both the

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,400
weather and the fishing action are heating up across South

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,239
Florida waters. We're looking at warm temperatures today with lighter

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,800
winds making for some calm seas, perfect for getting out there.

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,839
In the Florida Keys. Redfish are absolutely on fire right

8
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:30,399
now on the flats. According to Captain Ridge Murphy's report

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,119
from earlier this week. The inshore action has been stellar,

10
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:38,280
with reds actively feeding during the morning tides. If you're

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000
heading offshore in the Keys. Mahi dorado are scattered, but

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:46,200
becoming more consistent as we move deeper into May. Down

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,560
in Miami, we're seeing what locals call meat fish season

14
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:53,640
in full swing. Black fintuna and kingfish have pushed into

15
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:57,320
shallower water and have been hitting hard, especially during early

16
00:00:57,399 --> 00:01:01,840
morning and late evening hours. Have been landing kingfish in

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,200
the thirty plus pound class, so keep those wire leaders

18
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,079
handy for those toothy critters. The mutton snapper bite has

19
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,079
been excellent, particularly on live bait. Presentations. According to guides

20
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,439
working out of Miami, these tasty bottom dwellers have been

21
00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:22,480
chewing consistently when presented with the right offering. Grouper season

22
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,439
opened on May first, so don't miss your chance to

23
00:01:25,519 --> 00:01:28,920
target these bruisers on the res and reefs. For those

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:33,040
shark enthusiasts out there, reports indicate solid action when using

25
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,680
big live baits. Several Miami charters have reported consistent shark

26
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:41,599
action within sight of the skyline. Best baits right now

27
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:46,159
include live pilchards, threadfin herring, and goggle eyes for the pelagics.

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,719
If you're bottom fishing, fresh cut bonito or live pinfish

29
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,920
have been producing well for muttons and groupers. As for

30
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:58,879
artificial offerings, my personal specialty silver spoons and white bucktail

31
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,760
jigs have been working wonders for the redfish on the flats. Offshore,

32
00:02:03,959 --> 00:02:07,000
Blue white trolling lures and darker colored surface poppers have

33
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:11,639
been attracting the attention of kingfish and blackfin. Hotspots to

34
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:14,000
check out include the edge in a one twenty to

35
00:02:14,039 --> 00:02:16,400
one hundred and eighty feet of water off Miami for

36
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:20,159
the kingfish and tuna action in the Keys. Try Hawk

37
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,439
Channel for permit and the gulf side flats for those redfish.

38
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,879
The Eslamorada humps are starting to hold some decent tuna

39
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,000
schools as well. Tarpin migration should be in full swing

40
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,919
any day now, so keep your eyes peeled for rolling

41
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,759
silver kings, especially around the bridges and channels. Remember, folks,

42
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,520
the early bird gets the worm, or in our case,

43
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,520
the fish. Dawn patrols have been most productive, so set

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,479
those alarms and get out there before the midday heat hits.

45
00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:52,120
This is artificial lure saying tight lines and bent rods

46
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:56,039

This has been a quite pleased production with the help

of AI. Thanks for listening.
