00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Howdy folks, artificial lure. Here with your May twelfth, twenty

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,240
twenty five fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami area.

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:11,199
The summer patterns are settling in nicely across South Florida

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,800
this week. We're looking at calm seas today with light

5
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:18,120
southeast winds around eight to ten knots making for some

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,120
mighty fine conditions out on the water. Sunrise was at

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,800
six thirty eight am and will see sunset at seven

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:28,399
fifty two pm, giving y'all plenty of daylight hours to

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,800
get those lines wet. Let me tell you the fishing

10
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:35,000
has been red hot. May is always prime time for

11
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,359
what we locals call meat fish, the kind that fills

12
00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:42,560
your cooler and your dinner plate. Blackfin, tuna and kingfish

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,600
have been absolutely crushing it in the shallower water off

14
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,320
Miami four. Just last week, several boats reported multiple kingfish

15
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,000
hookups per trip, with some monsters pushing past the thirty

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,479
pound mark. These toothy critters are hitting particularly hard during

17
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000
early morning and late even so, keep those wire leaders

18
00:01:02,039 --> 00:01:06,280
handy down in the Keys. Captain Ridge Murphy reports the

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,560
inshore bite has been phenomenal, especially for redfish on the flats.

20
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,040
If you're heading offshore from the Keys, you'll find scattered

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,239
Mahai mahi starting to show up, though they're not quite

22
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:23,519
in their summer concentration yet. Mutton snapper have been chewing

23
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:26,280
well on live bait, and the grouper season that opened

24
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,280
on May first has been producing some quality fish on

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,760
the rex and reefs. For the shark action has been

26
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920
solid too. If you're looking for a real battle, they've

27
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,519
been hammering big live baits for lures. I'm seeing good

28
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,280
results with blue white trolling feathers for the kingfish and tuna.

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,560
When bottom fishing live pilchards or bally who will get

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,480
you connected with those muttons For the flats action, Gold

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,040
spoons and shrimp patterns are your best bet for the

32
00:01:56,079 --> 00:01:59,680
reds hotspots This week, the edge in one hundred and

33
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,400
twenty two one hundred and eighty feet of water off

34
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,920
Keebiskane has been holding good numbers of kingfish and blackfin.

35
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,159
The patch reefs off Isla, Morada are giving up nice muttons,

36
00:02:09,719 --> 00:02:13,439
and don't overlook the Rickenbacker Causeway flats during the falling

37
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,039
tide for some exciting redfish action. Tide wise, we're looking

38
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,280
at a high tide at nine twenty two am and

39
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,800
low around three forty five pm today, making mid morning

40
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:28,080
prime time for working those channel edges. One last tip,

41
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:31,039
the Tarpin migration should be kicking into high gear any

42
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,919
day now, so keep your eyes peeled for those silver

43
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:38,719
kings rolling, especially around the bridges. Y'all, get out there

44
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,240
and enjoy some of this fantastic May fishing. This is

45
00:02:42,319 --> 00:02:45,879
artificial lure signing off until next time. Tight lines and

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,199
