1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,839
Speaker 1: It's your pal artificial lore with your fresh off the

2
00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:06,280
dock fishing report for the Florida Keys in Miami, Friday,

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:10,759
September twelfth, twenty twenty five. Early risers got a head

4
00:00:10,759 --> 00:00:13,960
start today with sunrise at seven oh five am and

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,399
sunset sliding in at seven twenty seven pm, so there's

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,120
plenty of daylight to chase that big one over on

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,960
Miami Beach. Tides are running low at six oh five

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,960
am and again at six thirty eight pm, with a

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,480
healthy high tide hitting around twelve thirty one PM, making

10
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:32,039
the late morning and early afternoon the sweet spot for

11
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,960
inshore action, especially for folks working the flats and bridges.

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,240
According to the tide forecast, this movement should keep the

13
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:44,079
bite active through the midday. Lull Weather's classic for September humid, warm,

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,439
and breezy, with slight gusts cooling things off just enough

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,920
to make a day on the water pleasant. No signs

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,359
of any major systems or small craft advisories, so boats

17
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:57,640
can roam freely. Just remember afternoon storms can still pop up.

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,439
The water is alive with activity offshore. Charter captains and

19
00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:05,200
private vessels have been reporting solid mahi mahi dolphin just

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,439
outside the outer reef edges and weed lines. Trolling with

21
00:01:08,519 --> 00:01:11,760
smaller feathers and skirted ballyhoo is pulling in fish in

22
00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:15,439
the eight to fifteen pound range consistently. Snapper are feeding

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,719
strong on patch reefs. Live pilchards or cut squid on

24
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840
a jighead is your best bet, especially as the tide

25
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:26,359
pushes in yellowtail snapper are particularly thick off Islamorada this week.

26
00:01:26,719 --> 00:01:29,799
For the back country in Bay, mangrove snapper and Spanish

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,159
mackerel are showing up in strong numbers around Biscayne Bay

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,680
markers and structure early morning in dusk. Freelining live shrimp

29
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:41,159
or tossing a gulp artificial shrimp is deadly here. Flats

30
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,040
anglers near Marathon and Big Pine are still connecting with

31
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,000
bonefish and a few permit. The key is stealth and

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,319
light leaders using crab with shrimp or sightecasting with a

33
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:54,040
well presented soft plastic juke bait. The bridges seven mile

34
00:01:54,079 --> 00:01:57,200
in Long Key in particular are true hotspots right now.

35
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,319
Folks soaking fresh cut baits or live shrimp, but the

36
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:03,079
start of the incoming tide are pulling in a mixed

37
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:07,480
bag of snook, tarpin mostly juveniles, and jacks snapper are

38
00:02:07,519 --> 00:02:10,560
stacked underneath, and evening hours see the bigger fish come

39
00:02:10,599 --> 00:02:13,759
out from the surf and jetties. In Miami, the first

40
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:18,520
mullet run pushes are showing with predators right on their tails. Tarpin,

41
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:23,120
snook and jack cravall are blitzing pods. Topwater plugs and

42
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:26,719
swim baits and mullet patterns are the ticket for explosive strikes.

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,879
Anglers working government cut and haulover Inlet in the early

44
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
morning are reporting good numbers of blue runners and the

45
00:02:35,039 --> 00:02:39,280
occasional mackerel. Live bait always gets the edge in these waters.

46
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:43,520
Pilchards are king, followed closely by live shrimp and pinfish.

47
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:49,319
For artificials, gulp shrimp, bucktail jigs, yosery, crystal minnows and

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,960
top water spooks are hot choices. Don't forget extra leader,

49
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:56,360
especially when the mackerel and barracuda are running thick. For

50
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,960
the best action today, hit seven mile Bridge for snap

51
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:04,400
upper and snook on the slat early incoming tide. Islamarada

52
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:07,520
patch reefs for steady yellowtail and the chance for a

53
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080
grouper or two Biscayne Bay markers with live SHROMP for

54
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:14,479
mangroves and mackerel. Thanks for tuning in and be sure
