00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,559
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,519 --> 00:00:10,720
Hey there, fellow anglers artificial lure. Here with your Florida

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,519
Keys and Miami fishing report for Monday, May fifth, twenty

5
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:18,079
twenty five. The sunrise today was around six forty five

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,679
am and sunset will be near seven fifty pm, giving

7
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:24,359
you plenty of daylight hours to reel in some beauties.

8
00:00:25,039 --> 00:00:29,960
Weathers cooperating nicely with moderate winds and comfortable temperatures, perfect

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,560
conditions for a day on the water. Florida Bay is

10
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:37,679
absolutely on fire right now. Snook are the main attraction

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,759
and they've been hitting consistently over the past week. Captain

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,840
Ridge Murphy confirmed this just a few days ago, So

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,759
if you're looking to hook into some quality snook, that's

14
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:51,679
where you want to be. Offshore, the yellowtail snappers are

15
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,399
biting well in sixty to ninety feet of water, particularly

16
00:00:55,479 --> 00:00:58,520
during the incoming tide. The patch reefs are loaded with

17
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,759
big lane snappers and yellowtails too. According to recent reports

18
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:06,400
from charter captains operating out of Key West and Marathon

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,480
down in the Lower Keys inshore fishing has been productive

20
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:15,000
with redfish and tarpin making strong showings. For those of

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,400
you heading to the flats, light tackle has been the

22
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:20,200
way to go as that bite is really heating up now.

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,079
In the Miami area, we've seen tuna and kingfish pushing

24
00:01:24,079 --> 00:01:27,280
into shallow water, while mutton snappers have been chewing on

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,079
live bait. The shark bite remains solid if you're using

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,159
big live baits. Several guides, including Brian Maffi out of

27
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:40,400
Miami Beach, reported excellent catches just yesterday. For those targeting

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,439
Mahi mahi, they've been a bit elusive with the colder

29
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:46,920
offshore waters we had earlier, but things are warming up nicely.

30
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Keep a bait in the water after hooking one, as

31
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,040
they've been traveling in schools. As for tarpin, both the

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,879
juvenile and larger specimens are becoming more consistent as we

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:03,799
transition into more summerlike conditions. Some solid thirty inch redfish

34
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,120
have been spotted in their old haunts closer to home

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,199
too best baits. Right now, live bait is king for

36
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,680
the mutton snappers, while artificials are working well for snook.

37
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:17,120
In the back country, light tackle with smaller lures has

38
00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:20,759
been productive on the flats, hotspots to check out the

39
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:25,080
patch reefs around Islamrada for yellowtails, and lanes floor to

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,319
bay for snook action. And if you're after, permit head

41
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,919
further south where the bigger schools have been hanging out. Remember, folks,

42
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,560
the early bird gets the fish, tight lines and good

43
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
luck out there on the water today. And that is

44
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,960
it for today. Hit the subscribe button and never miss out.

45
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Keep those tips up and lines wet. This has been

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,439
a quite please production with the help of AI. Thanks

47
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:50,000
for listening.
