Speaker 1: Artificial lore. Here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing
report for Saturday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty five. Falls in
full swing and angers are loving the change. Water temps
are cooling, fish are fired up, and the bite's been
steady from Biscayne Bay to Marathon. Let's start with the
tide in sunrise in North Miami today, You've got a
high tide at six fifty five am, then again at
seven ten pm. Lows roll in at twelve thirty six
am and one pm. Sunrise hits at seven twenty one am,
with sunset at six forty nine pm. Over in Key West,
the highs coming at eight fifty six am and nine
ten pm, lows at two zero nine am and two
thirty two pm. So plan to hit those flats and
channels right as the water is pushing in to cash
in on the moving bait tide. Forecast dot com weatherwise
expect mild temperatures in the upper seventies to low eighties,
breezy and partly cloudy. The National Weather Service out of
Key West says moderate to fresh breezes will stick around
through tonight, with some minor coastal flooding at peak tides
classic October conditions that means you'll get a slight chop
outside the reef and perfect sight fishing light on the
flats in town weather dot gov slash key n d
d C Bye report. October's cool down is bringing mullet
runs galore and Florida Bays loaded with MUDs and feeding frenzies.
Snook are making noise. Topwater fly patterns like burglars and
poppers are the ticket around Mangrove shorelines and creek mouths.
Plenty of snook over slot are being boated, and the
FWC says their stocks are healthy and even exceeding recent goals.
Redfish are tailing on the shallow flats and eager for
paddle tails, gold spoons or a shrimp under a pop
and cork. Bonefish and permit are thick thanks to the
higher water feeding on flats and in channels. Bone fish
have been schooling up tight and chasing shrimp and crab imitations,
especially on the incoming tide. Permit have been jumping on
small blue crabs and the occasional bucktail jig, particularly from
Islamorada south to duck Key. Offshore cruise trolling just outside
the reef are picking up kingfish, mackerel and scattered mani, Mayi, sardines,
pilchards and vertical jigs are doing most of the work.
Bottom fishing around Key Largo and Marathon is producing decent mangrove, snapper,
yellowtail and some muttons. Tricut bait or live pilchered on
a light wire rig. Best lures and bait, top water
plugs walk the dog style great for snook at sunrise.
Gold spoons and soft plastics, especially root beer or silver
write for reds, live shrimp and small blue crabs. Own
fish permit won't turn these down. Cut balahou or squid
for snapper. Offshore, artificial spoons and jigs are always hot
around the Slamarada and bridges. Live bait nearly always wins
if you've sourced some fresh pilchards or finger mullet spreaker

inch class, reds averaging twenty twenty six inches, bonefish in

twenty five pound range have been reported around the res
