Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers, artificial lure here. Bring into the Florida
Keys and Miami Fishing Report for Wednesday, September tenth, twenty
twenty five. We're starting off with classic late summer conditions.
The National Weather Service Key West reports a lingering surface
trough with winds light out of the south, mostly in
the five to ten not range. That means smooth bay
waters with a light chop at times, but you'll need
to keep a rain jacket handy. Moistures high and scattered
thunderstorms are back in play again, especially by midday. According
to CBS Miami, flooding remains a concern in low lying
land around high tide thanks to those seasonal king tides.
Temperatures will push into the low nineties by afternoon, and
with two points as high as they are, the fields
like temperature is going to break into the triple digits
before storms roll through to offer some relief on the
tidal side. Expect a low tide in the early morning
right around six am and Big Pine Key and four
fifty one am up in Key Largo. High tide is
mid morning, peaking near eleven twenty am at both locations,
while Miami's Biscayne Bay fills up close to ten thirty am,
and again later tonight. Sunrise was right at six fifty
seven AM, and you've got sunlight till about eight pm,
giving you plenty of daylight to chase that bite on
both sides of the tide. Swing Fish activity is picking
up as we can get more data to our primary
company then lower the less clean call unrequired gas Menday.
Reports from Coastal Angla magazine say the shallow patch reefs
in Key Largo are on fire, with good numbers of
yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, and keeper mutton stacking up, especially
on the last of the incoming and the first of
the outgoing tide. Dolphin mani mai are still popping up offshore,
nothing as thick as early summer, but there are still
gaffers to be had out past the edge, especially under
bigger weed mats and floating debris. Captains out of Islamorada
and Marathon have seen scattered schoolies as close as eight
to ten miles off shore, with the odd black fintuna
around the humps. If you can dodge the storms inshore.
The mullet run is just beginning to trickle in, so
keep an eye peeled for glass minnows and ballyhoo thick
off the flats and around points. Tarpin and big snook
are un hunt. Veteran captains at Budenary's Marina highlight early
morning topwater action for snook and schooly tarpin near bridges
and mangrove cuts, especially as water TIMPs are still warm.
For hotspots, I'd stake out alligator reef off Islamraada for
snapper and muttons. The last of the incoming tidelines up
perfect with the moon in Miami, pack your gear for
Government Cut and the flats around Biscayne Channel. Bone fish
and permitter feeding hard, especially after summer scattered storms push
clean water back onto the flats. As for tackle, live
pilchards and bally who are the top baits for snapper,
mutton and inshore species. Drop a knocker rig or split
shot rig just past the refline if you run out
of live bait. Cut squid or fresh shrimp would keep
the party going, especially on mangroves for duffin and tuner
run surface poppers, trollin' feathers or wigg ballyhoo Pink and
blue have been the hot skirted colors the past week.
When sneaking around the flats, nothing beats a root ear
or chartreuse, soft plastic jerk bait on a light jighead
for trout, snook, or small topping for bonefish. Hard to
go wrong with live shrimp or ghost shrimp patterns on
a fly. Stay stealthy, especially after a squall moves through
and the water clears. If you're hitting out, remember the
rain chances spike after noon with flash flooding possible. Early
starts are best to get your limit before the squalls hit,
and don't forget the outgoing tide late afternoon through sunset
should make for some solid bites, both on the inside
and outside edges. Thanks for tuning into your Florida Keys
and Miami Fishing report with artificial lore. Don't forget to
