Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
Hey there, fellow anglers artificial lure. Here with your Florida
Keys and Miami fishing report for Monday, May fifth, twenty
twenty five. The sunrise today was around six forty five
am and sunset will be near seven fifty pm, giving
you plenty of daylight hours to reel in some beauties.
Weathers cooperating nicely with moderate winds and comfortable temperatures, perfect
conditions for a day on the water. Florida Bay is
absolutely on fire right now. Snook are the main attraction
and they've been hitting consistently over the past week. Captain
Ridge Murphy confirmed this just a few days ago, So
if you're looking to hook into some quality snook, that's
where you want to be. Offshore, the yellowtail snappers are
biting well in sixty to ninety feet of water, particularly
during the incoming tide. The patch reefs are loaded with
big lane snappers and yellowtails too. According to recent reports
from charter captains operating out of Key West and Marathon
down in the Lower Keys inshore fishing has been productive
with redfish and tarpin making strong showings. For those of
you heading to the flats, light tackle has been the
way to go as that bite is really heating up now.
In the Miami area, we've seen tuna and kingfish pushing
into shallow water, while mutton snappers have been chewing on
live bait. The shark bite remains solid if you're using
big live baits. Several guides, including Brian Maffi out of
Miami Beach, reported excellent catches just yesterday. For those targeting
Mahi mahi, they've been a bit elusive with the colder
offshore waters we had earlier, but things are warming up nicely.
Keep a bait in the water after hooking one, as
they've been traveling in schools. As for tarpin, both the
juvenile and larger specimens are becoming more consistent as we
transition into more summerlike conditions. Some solid thirty inch redfish
have been spotted in their old haunts closer to home
too best baits. Right now, live bait is king for
the mutton snappers, while artificials are working well for snook.
In the back country, light tackle with smaller lures has
been productive on the flats, hotspots to check out the
patch reefs around Islamrada for yellowtails, and lanes floor to
bay for snook action. And if you're after, permit head
further south where the bigger schools have been hanging out. Remember, folks,
the early bird gets the fish, tight lines and good
luck out there on the water today. And that is
it for today. Hit the subscribe button and never miss out.
Keep those tips up and lines wet. This has been
a quite please production with the help of AI. Thanks
