Speaker 1: It's your pal artificial lore with your fresh off the
dock fishing report for the Florida Keys in Miami, Friday,
September twelfth, twenty twenty five. Early risers got a head
start today with sunrise at seven oh five am and
sunset sliding in at seven twenty seven pm, so there's
plenty of daylight to chase that big one over on
Miami Beach. Tides are running low at six oh five
am and again at six thirty eight pm, with a
healthy high tide hitting around twelve thirty one PM, making
the late morning and early afternoon the sweet spot for
inshore action, especially for folks working the flats and bridges.
According to the tide forecast, this movement should keep the
bite active through the midday. Lull Weather's classic for September humid, warm,
and breezy, with slight gusts cooling things off just enough
to make a day on the water pleasant. No signs
of any major systems or small craft advisories, so boats
can roam freely. Just remember afternoon storms can still pop up.
The water is alive with activity offshore. Charter captains and
private vessels have been reporting solid mahi mahi dolphin just
outside the outer reef edges and weed lines. Trolling with
smaller feathers and skirted ballyhoo is pulling in fish in
the eight to fifteen pound range consistently. Snapper are feeding
strong on patch reefs. Live pilchards or cut squid on
a jighead is your best bet, especially as the tide
pushes in yellowtail snapper are particularly thick off Islamorada this week.
For the back country in Bay, mangrove snapper and Spanish
mackerel are showing up in strong numbers around Biscayne Bay
markers and structure early morning in dusk. Freelining live shrimp
or tossing a gulp artificial shrimp is deadly here. Flats
anglers near Marathon and Big Pine are still connecting with
bonefish and a few permit. The key is stealth and
light leaders using crab with shrimp or sightecasting with a
well presented soft plastic juke bait. The bridges seven mile
in Long Key in particular are true hotspots right now.
Folks soaking fresh cut baits or live shrimp, but the
start of the incoming tide are pulling in a mixed
bag of snook, tarpin mostly juveniles, and jacks snapper are
stacked underneath, and evening hours see the bigger fish come
out from the surf and jetties. In Miami, the first
mullet run pushes are showing with predators right on their tails. Tarpin,
snook and jack cravall are blitzing pods. Topwater plugs and
swim baits and mullet patterns are the ticket for explosive strikes.
Anglers working government cut and haulover Inlet in the early
morning are reporting good numbers of blue runners and the
occasional mackerel. Live bait always gets the edge in these waters.
Pilchards are king, followed closely by live shrimp and pinfish.
For artificials, gulp shrimp, bucktail jigs, yosery, crystal minnows and
top water spooks are hot choices. Don't forget extra leader,
especially when the mackerel and barracuda are running thick. For
the best action today, hit seven mile Bridge for snap
upper and snook on the slat early incoming tide. Islamarada
patch reefs for steady yellowtail and the chance for a
grouper or two Biscayne Bay markers with live SHROMP for
mangroves and mackerel. Thanks for tuning in and be sure
