report for Saturday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Falls in

00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:11,400
full swing and angers are loving the change. Water temps

4
00:00:11,439 --> 00:00:14,279
are cooling, fish are fired up, and the bite's been

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,359
steady from Biscayne Bay to Marathon. Let's start with the

6
00:00:18,399 --> 00:00:21,839

00:00:21,879 --> 00:00:24,879

with sunset at six forty nine pm. Over in Key West,

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,320
the highs coming at eight fifty six am and nine

12
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:43,880
ten pm, lows at two zero nine am and two

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,039
thirty two pm. So plan to hit those flats and

14
00:00:47,119 --> 00:00:49,600
channels right as the water is pushing in to cash

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:54,640
in on the moving bait tide. Forecast dot com weatherwise

16
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:58,399
expect mild temperatures in the upper seventies to low eighties,

17
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:02,640
breezy and partly cloudy. The National Weather Service out of

18
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,920
Key West says moderate to fresh breezes will stick around

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,599
through tonight, with some minor coastal flooding at peak tides

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,439
classic October conditions that means you'll get a slight chop

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,920
outside the reef and perfect sight fishing light on the

flats in town weather dot gov slash key n d

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,239
d C Bye report. October's cool down is bringing mullet

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,519
runs galore and Florida Bays loaded with MUDs and feeding frenzies.

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,799
Snook are making noise. Topwater fly patterns like burglars and

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,400
poppers are the ticket around Mangrove shorelines and creek mouths.

27
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,799
Plenty of snook over slot are being boated, and the

28
00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:46,120
FWC says their stocks are healthy and even exceeding recent goals.

29
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:49,280
Redfish are tailing on the shallow flats and eager for

30
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:52,760
paddle tails, gold spoons or a shrimp under a pop

31
00:01:52,799 --> 00:01:56,280
and cork. Bonefish and permit are thick thanks to the

32
00:01:56,319 --> 00:02:00,359
higher water feeding on flats and in channels. Bone fish

33
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,560
have been schooling up tight and chasing shrimp and crab imitations,

34
00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:15,360
especially on the incoming tide. Permit have been jumping on

35
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:19,879
small blue crabs and the occasional bucktail jig, particularly from

36
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,599
Islamorada south to duck Key. Offshore cruise trolling just outside

37
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:30,759
the reef are picking up kingfish, mackerel and scattered mani, Mayi, sardines,

38
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,479
pilchards and vertical jigs are doing most of the work.

39
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,800
Bottom fishing around Key Largo and Marathon is producing decent mangrove, snapper,

40
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,120
yellowtail and some muttons. Tricut bait or live pilchered on

41
00:02:44,199 --> 00:02:48,719
a light wire rig. Best lures and bait, top water

42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,400
plugs walk the dog style great for snook at sunrise.

43
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,240
Gold spoons and soft plastics, especially root beer or silver

44
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,120
write for reds, live shrimp and small blue crabs. Own

45
00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:03,560
fish permit won't turn these down. Cut balahou or squid

46
00:03:03,599 --> 00:03:07,039
for snapper. Offshore, artificial spoons and jigs are always hot

47
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,680
around the Slamarada and bridges. Live bait nearly always wins

48
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:14,080

Key Bridge and Channel five for permit and snapper. Windley
