Speaker 1: Hey anglers, our official lore here with your Wednesday, October
twenty ninth, twenty twenty five fishing report for Miami and
the Florida Keys. We're waking up to a mild fall
morning with temperatures in the mid seventies, Light southeasterly breezes
and clear skies expected through most of the day. Classic
Autumn and South Florida, the humidities down and that means
better comfort and ideal top water action. Sunrise hit at
seven twenty seven am, with sunset coming at six forty
pm for Miami and just a few minutes later for
the Lower Keys. Looking at the tides, it's a low
coefficient day for Key West, with less turning water than
last week's big swings. At Newport Fishing Pier in North
Miami Beach, we're seeing a first high tide at one
forty eight am around two point six feet and a
first low at eight seven am at one point one feet.
The afternoon outgoing tide peaks at two thirty eight pm
at two point seven feet, before an evening low at
eight fifty three pm at one point three feet. Over
in Key West, we've got a high at three zero
eight am dropping to a low at ten thirty six am,
a second high at five thirty one pm, and the
late low in nine thirteen PM, so your prime windows
for moving water and fish activity are mid morning in
the early evening. Slack reports from the last few days
confirmed that the fall bite is heating up, especially with
cooling waters. Miami inshore anglers have been landing mixed bags
of snook, redfish, and a few surprise tarpon around river
mouths and mangrove cuts out by government cut. In Virginia Key,
the bridges and grass flats have produced solid numbers of
sea trout, mangrove snapper, and slot snooke. Those chunking live
pilchards or shrimp are producing the best quality bites offshore.
In the Keys, it's been in all out blitz for
yellowtail snapper on the patch reefs, especially around Conch Key
and Islamorada. Guides report easy limits with chum slicks. Best
results are coming from small pieces of cuts bait floated
back on ten pounds floracarbon mixed in. The recks are
still holding mutton snapper, plenty of jacks and the odd grouper.
Key West headboats yesterday boted upwards of thirty keeper snapper
with a mix of mackerel showing, especially as the sun
hit the horizon. Live baits like pilchards, threadfin, herring and
pinfish remain king for the bridges and flats, especially if
you can cast net fresh ones for artificials. Local favorites
like doa shrimp, gulp, paddle tails and silver spoons have
delivered for trout and snoke. Early offshore snapper are crushing
small jigs tipped with squid or cup balue. My my
catches are tapering as the water cools, but a few
boats running deep lines past the reef edge or finding
scattered fish around weed lines with trolling feathers and rid
balue for freshwater fans. Canal fishing remains hot for task
largemouth bass on white spinner baits, early and slow rolled
stickworms as the sun climbs. If you're itching for a
hot spot near Miami, check out the Rickenbacker Causeway flats
and the Haulover Inlet Jetty. The snook and Tarpin schools
have been cruising hard as the tide's flush bait downing
the keys. The seven Mile Bridge and Long Key Channel
are firing for snapper, grouper and big jacks, especially on
the evening outgoing. Remember slack tides to day will mean
slower current but easier presentations. If you're sight casting in
the clear water, mix up baits, keep leader light, and
pay extra attention to wind direction before anchoring or drifting
through your favorite zones. That does it for today's South
Florida Report. Tight lines to everyone getting out on the water.
