Speaker 1: This is artificial ore. With your narrative fishing report for Friday,
August eighth, twenty twenty five, covering the waters in and
around the Florida Keys and Miami. We kicked off the
day with a light southeast wind around ten knots according
to the National Weather Service out of Key West, setting
up gentle seas with only a slight chop in the Bay.
Expect these breezes to stick around, but decrease some as
we head deeper into the day. With a lingering tropical
wave pushing west. Be ready for occasional downpours and scattered
boomer thunderstorms rolling across the flats and offshore waters, so
keep an eye on the sky and don't hesitate to
take cover if lightning fires up. Sunrise in Miami Beach
is official at six fifty three am, and sunset will
be at seven fifty five PM. Fish are most active
at dawn and dusk, so set those alarms for first
light and don't sleep on that last bite before dark.
Those prime hours have been producing some of the best
action all summer. Long tides from Miami Beach. You've got
a pre dawn high tide at seven eighteen am, a
midday low at one thirty six pm, then we'll see
the waters peeking again in the evening. Over in Big
Pine Quay, the high tide is at eight thirteen am
with a low around three twenty six pm. This morning's
incoming tide lines up perfect for working mangroves and bridges
before the summer heat settles in. Now for the fish report,
the August bite is still on fire. According to recent
outings and local captains. Key Largo and the Upper Keys
are delivering Spanish mackerel, kingfish kobia, and a steady run
of big jacks and sharks. Just offshore. The Gulf side
in the ever Blades back country are churning out speckled
sea trout, snook, redfish, and mangrove snapper, with enough jumbo
jack krevelel to wear your arms out. On the Atlantic
Patch reefs and deep wrecks, mutton and yellowtail snapper are
stacking up, and the Mahi mai run remains decent if
you're willing to make the run out Deep Captain Experiences
says Inshore trips are seeing family style success on mixed bags,
especially with live shrimp and pilchards for bait. For tackle
and tactics. Artificial lures are working exceptionally well this week.
Topwater plugs and walk the Dog style baits have brought
explosive hits at sunrise over grass flats and near mangrove edge,
especially for sea trout and snook. Spanish mackerel and kingfish
can't resist flashy spoons and white bucktail jigs ripped fast
offshore troll, bright skirted ballyhoo or dolphin colored soft plastics
if you're chasing mati. When casting by the bridges and channels,
live shrimp or pilchards are dynamite for snapper, and chunks
of fresh ladyfish or mullet are your best bet for
soaking up sharks and big jacks. A couple of local
hotspots to ain for right now. Haulover Inlet remains a
classic for kingfish, snoke at the rocks and cruising tarpain
in the evening. Current Alligator Reef off Islamorada is lighting
up with magnum, mangrove snapper and yellowtail, especially on the
early tide. If you're work in the backcountry, the channels
and points around Jewfish Creek and Key Largo are stacking
up with snook and trout, perfect for a half day
morning drift before storms build up. Be flexible, watch for
birds and bait, and if that rain rolls in duck
into a nearby channel. The fish have been turning on
right after those squalls pass. Thanks for tuning in to
your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report with artificial lore.
