Speaker 1: Artificial lure here. Bringing you your Friday, October twenty fourth
fishing report for Miami and the Florida Keys. Today's weather
is shaping up classic for fall angling in South Florida.
Tamps starting in the mid seventies just after sunrise, plimbing
into the low to mid eighties by midday. Expect light
east southeasterly breezes and only a slight chop. Good holding
water and clean edges for sight casting. No fronts on
the immediate horizon according to the Florida Division of Emergency Management,
but minor tidal flooding advisories remain in place for the
lower Keys, so mine those ramps and flat success for
the tides. Miami Beach is looking at a low of
zero point four to eight feet at four point fifteen am,
rolling up to a high around ten forty am at
three point one six feet, another low at four forty
four pm zero point nine nine feet, and one last
high at ten thirty four pm at two point eight
nine feet. Good windows for moving water action just after
sunrise and again after lunch. Over in Key West, low
tide lands at six oh three am, high at twelve
thirty nine pm one point five four ft low at
five point fifteen pm and a late bump before midnight.
Sunrise is officially seven to twenty four am for Miami,
seven twenty nine am in Key West, and sunset clocks
in around six forty four six point fifty two pm.
Let's talk bites. The four mullet run is tapering, but
finger mullet and pilchards are still thick on the beaches,
prime bait for snoke and tarpin on inlets and adjacent
channels around the bridges, especially seven mile and Channel five.
The late outgoing tide has had snapper biting well, with
solid mangroves up to eighteen inches mixed with some fat
yellowtail on the deeper patches off Islamorada. Several boats this
week have reported pushing limits of mangroves and yellowtail using
live pilchards and small chunks of cut bally hue. Offshore
dolphin Mahi mahi are fending but still around, mostly in
the ten to fifteen pound range, caught trolling small feathers
and rag ballyhoo under the scatter reed lines, particularly eight
to fifteen miles out from Marathon. Southbound. Black vintuna are
thicker at the humps, aided by moderate currents slammed by folks,
vertical jigging and tossing pilchards. Inshore bonefish have been happy
on the late rising tide, especially in the lower Keys,
where clear water and moderate winds make for great site fishing.
Fly and spinning anglers are sticking fish up to seven pounds,
especially on darker flats edges north of sugar Loaf and
Duck Key. Spanish mackerel are banging chrome gotches and small
spoons off Long Key and near pasta Lyon Point. According
to morning updates from local guides. Best baits right now
live pilchards, shrimp and finger mullet for lures, natural colored
soft plastics. Bucktailed jigs and topwater walkers are getting most
bites for snoke and trout on the flats. Offshore chasers
should keep a spread of skirted ballyhoo and deep diving
plugs ready. Plats anglers don't overlook tan or olive shrimp imitations,
either on fly or with a lightweight jig. Hotspots to try.
Card Soundbridge and adjacent creeks good action for snook, tarpin
and mixed mangrove snapper early and late. The Slamaranos bridges
Channel two and five for mixed bag snappers on moving
tide with plenty of Spanish macs on deeper side casts
ocean side patch reefs off key Largo around Molasses and
pickles for study yellowtail and the odd mutton on chunk bait.
