00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Hey anglers, our official lore here with your Wednesday, October

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:07,040
twenty ninth, twenty twenty five fishing report for Miami and

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,160
the Florida Keys. We're waking up to a mild fall

4
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,960
morning with temperatures in the mid seventies, Light southeasterly breezes

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,320
and clear skies expected through most of the day. Classic

6
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,079
Autumn and South Florida, the humidities down and that means

7
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,760
better comfort and ideal top water action. Sunrise hit at

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,760
seven twenty seven am, with sunset coming at six forty

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,600
pm for Miami and just a few minutes later for

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,799
the Lower Keys. Looking at the tides, it's a low

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,079
coefficient day for Key West, with less turning water than

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,640
last week's big swings. At Newport Fishing Pier in North

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,320
Miami Beach, we're seeing a first high tide at one

14
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,640
forty eight am around two point six feet and a

15
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:50,039
first low at eight seven am at one point one feet.

16
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,640
The afternoon outgoing tide peaks at two thirty eight pm

17
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,600
at two point seven feet, before an evening low at

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,920
eight fifty three pm at one point three feet. Over

19
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:02,719
in Key West, we've got a high at three zero

20
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:06,000
eight am dropping to a low at ten thirty six am,

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,079
a second high at five thirty one pm, and the

22
00:01:09,159 --> 00:01:12,640
late low in nine thirteen PM, so your prime windows

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,439
for moving water and fish activity are mid morning in

24
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,799
the early evening. Slack reports from the last few days

25
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,000
confirmed that the fall bite is heating up, especially with

26
00:01:22,079 --> 00:01:26,680
cooling waters. Miami inshore anglers have been landing mixed bags

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,000
of snook, redfish, and a few surprise tarpon around river

28
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,400
mouths and mangrove cuts out by government cut. In Virginia Key,

29
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,760
the bridges and grass flats have produced solid numbers of

30
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:43,159
sea trout, mangrove snapper, and slot snooke. Those chunking live

31
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,159
pilchards or shrimp are producing the best quality bites offshore.

32
00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:49,319
In the Keys, it's been in all out blitz for

33
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,359
yellowtail snapper on the patch reefs, especially around Conch Key

34
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:58,040
and Islamorada. Guides report easy limits with chum slicks. Best

35
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:01,079
results are coming from small pieces of cuts bait floated

36
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,439
back on ten pounds floracarbon mixed in. The recks are

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,479
still holding mutton snapper, plenty of jacks and the odd grouper.

38
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:14,039
Key West headboats yesterday boted upwards of thirty keeper snapper

39
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:17,240
with a mix of mackerel showing, especially as the sun

40
00:02:17,319 --> 00:02:20,960
hit the horizon. Live baits like pilchards, threadfin, herring and

41
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,479
pinfish remain king for the bridges and flats, especially if

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,319
you can cast net fresh ones for artificials. Local favorites

43
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,000
like doa shrimp, gulp, paddle tails and silver spoons have

44
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,000
delivered for trout and snoke. Early offshore snapper are crushing

45
00:02:37,039 --> 00:02:40,439
small jigs tipped with squid or cup balue. My my

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,280
catches are tapering as the water cools, but a few

47
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:46,280
boats running deep lines past the reef edge or finding

48
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,759
scattered fish around weed lines with trolling feathers and rid

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,159
balue for freshwater fans. Canal fishing remains hot for task

50
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,960
largemouth bass on white spinner baits, early and slow rolled

51
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,439
stickworms as the sun climbs. If you're itching for a

52
00:03:01,479 --> 00:03:05,639
hot spot near Miami, check out the Rickenbacker Causeway flats

53
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,479
and the Haulover Inlet Jetty. The snook and Tarpin schools

54
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,159
have been cruising hard as the tide's flush bait downing

55
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,680
the keys. The seven Mile Bridge and Long Key Channel

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,000
are firing for snapper, grouper and big jacks, especially on

57
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,280
the evening outgoing. Remember slack tides to day will mean

58
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,639
slower current but easier presentations. If you're sight casting in

59
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,879
the clear water, mix up baits, keep leader light, and

60
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:38,240
pay extra attention to wind direction before anchoring or drifting

61
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,639
through your favorite zones. That does it for today's South
