Speaker 1: Hey there, fellow anglers artificial lure. Here with your Florida
Keys and Miami Fishing report for this fine Wednesday morning,
May twenty first, twenty twenty five. The summer pattern is
really taking hold now and we're seeing some fantastic action
throughout the region. Captain Ridge Murphy's latest report confirms that
the keys are heating up, with plenty of activity on
both the Atlantic and Gulf sides. This week has been
outstanding for meat fish, as the locals call it. Blackfintuna
and kingfish have been hitting hard, especially during early morning
and late evening hours. Several charter boats have reported kingfish
in the thirty plus pound range, making for some exciting
fights on light tackle three. These toothy predators are explosive
when they bite, so keep those wire leaders handy. The
transition to summer weather patterns means we're enjoying calmer seas
with lighter winds than we saw earlier in the year,
perfect conditions for getting out there. Water temperatures are climbing
into the upper seventies, which has really activated the reef
fish as well. Don't forget that grouper season opened on
May first, and there's still some nice amberjack hanging around
the shipwrecks. The mutton snapper bite has been decent this month,
but should get even better in the coming weeks. For
the offshore crowd, we're starting to see more Mahi mahi
showing up, with reports coming in from Key West of
nice catches on recent trips. Occasional wahoo are in the
mix too, adding to the excitement. Best baits right now
live pilchards are working great for the reef bite, while
goggle eyes and blue runners are your ticket for the
bigger pelagics. If you're throwing artificials, try diamond jigs for
the kingfish and bucktail jigs tipped with squid for the snappers.
Hot spots to check out include the edge in one
hundred twenty two hundred and sixty feet off Key Largo,
where the bite has been consistent all week. Another productive
area has been the Marathon Humps. For those willing to
make the run out inshore, try the flats around Lower
Matacumbie for some great action on permit and bonefish. The
tides are running strong, with a high at nine thirty
two a m and low at three forty six pm. Today.
Sunrise was at six thirty six a m. And will
see sunset at eight twelve pm, giving you plenty of
daylight hours on the water. The weekend forecast looks mighty
fine with winds around five to ten knots and seize
one to two feet, So now's the time to get
out there and wet a line. Remember, folks, keep what
you'll eat and release the rest. This is artificial lure
signing off from the Florida Keys. Tight lines and see
you on the water. And that is it for today.
Hit the subscribe button and never miss out. Keep those
tips up and lines wet. This has been a quite
please production with the help of AI. Thanks for listening.
