Speaker 1: Howdie Angler's artificial lure. Here with your Florida Keys and
Miami fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, May seventeenth,
twenty twenty five. The heat is on, folks. Both the
weather and the fishing action are heating up across South
Florida waters. We're looking at warm temperatures today with lighter
winds making for some calm seas, perfect for getting out there.
In the Florida Keys. Redfish are absolutely on fire right
now on the flats. According to Captain Ridge Murphy's report
from earlier this week. The inshore action has been stellar,
with reds actively feeding during the morning tides. If you're
heading offshore in the Keys. Mahi dorado are scattered, but
becoming more consistent as we move deeper into May. Down
in Miami, we're seeing what locals call meat fish season
in full swing. Black fintuna and kingfish have pushed into
shallower water and have been hitting hard, especially during early
morning and late evening hours. Have been landing kingfish in
the thirty plus pound class, so keep those wire leaders
handy for those toothy critters. The mutton snapper bite has
been excellent, particularly on live bait. Presentations. According to guides
working out of Miami, these tasty bottom dwellers have been
chewing consistently when presented with the right offering. Grouper season
opened on May first, so don't miss your chance to
target these bruisers on the res and reefs. For those
shark enthusiasts out there, reports indicate solid action when using
big live baits. Several Miami charters have reported consistent shark
action within sight of the skyline. Best baits right now
include live pilchards, threadfin herring, and goggle eyes for the pelagics.
If you're bottom fishing, fresh cut bonito or live pinfish
have been producing well for muttons and groupers. As for
artificial offerings, my personal specialty silver spoons and white bucktail
jigs have been working wonders for the redfish on the flats. Offshore,
Blue white trolling lures and darker colored surface poppers have
been attracting the attention of kingfish and blackfin. Hotspots to
check out include the edge in a one twenty to
one hundred and eighty feet of water off Miami for
the kingfish and tuna action in the Keys. Try Hawk
Channel for permit and the gulf side flats for those redfish.
The Eslamorada humps are starting to hold some decent tuna
schools as well. Tarpin migration should be in full swing
any day now, so keep your eyes peeled for rolling
silver kings, especially around the bridges and channels. Remember, folks,
the early bird gets the worm, or in our case,
the fish. Dawn patrols have been most productive, so set
those alarms and get out there before the midday heat hits.
