00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,319
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,360
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,160
As of October fifth, the Florida Keys in Miami are

4
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:14,400
offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, especially with the fall bait

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:19,280
migration in full swing. Weather and tides today, you can

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,519
expect a mild morning with temperatures in the mid seventies,

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,199
gradually warming up to the mid eighties by afternoon. The

8
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:29,679
skies will be partly cloudy with a gentle northeasterly breeze.

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,880
Tides are looking favorable with a high tide at around

10
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,920
nine thirty am and a low tide at three thirty pm,

11
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,759
which should bring plenty of bait fish and larger predators

12
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:43,439
into the area. Hatter sunrise and sunset. Sunrise is at

13
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:46,119
seven twenty three am and sunset will be at seven

14
00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,079
o four pm, giving you ample daylight to enjoy your

15
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:53,399
fishing trip. Fish activity yesterday saw a lot of activity

16
00:00:53,439 --> 00:00:57,920
from various species. Tarpin, although typically more active in the summer,

17
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:01,560
are still present in good numbers, particularly around the protected

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,280
areas of islands, creeks and canals. Redfish and snook fishing

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,920
has been stellar, with some larger snook in the twelve

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
to eighteen pound range, and redfish mixed in. Black drum,

21
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,159
usually more common in colder months, have also been spotted

22
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,920
in the twenty five pound range, making for some exciting

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:25,040
catches on light tackle. Types of fish caught. Tarpin small

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,640
to medium sized, often found in the back country and

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,239
around mangrove channels. Snook larger sizes up to eighteen pounds,

26
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,799
particularly in the creeks and shorelines of Flamingo and the mainland.

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,359
Redfish mixed sizes, but plenty of action in the flats

28
00:01:39,359 --> 00:01:43,400
and protected areas. Black drum larger sizes up to twenty

29
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,480
five pounds an unusual but welcome sight this early in

30
00:01:46,519 --> 00:01:50,680
the season. Bonefish active on the flats, especially with the

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,519
higher tides reaching into different parts of the flats in

32
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:58,519
Bay hash best lures and bait for tarpin and larger species.

33
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:03,280
Live bait such as battles mullet is highly effective for

34
00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:06,799
redfish and snook. Jigs and soft plastics like shrimp or

35
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:10,800
crab imitations work well. Bonefish can be targeted with small

36
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:14,680
jigs or fly fishing gear. The fall bait migration means

37
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:17,960
there are plenty of natural baits like pilchards and sardines

38
00:02:18,039 --> 00:02:20,680
that the fish are feeding on, so using these or

39
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:25,479
lures that mimic them can be very successful. Hotspots Flamingo

40
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,759
and the mainland of South Florida. The creeks, canals, and

41
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,960
shorelines here are teeming with baitfish and larger predators. Everglades

42
00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,840
National Park, the backcountry inlets and mangrove channels are perfect

43
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,759
for targeting tarpin, snook, redfish, and bonefish. The flats around Islamorada.

44
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,120
These areas are great for sight fishing and targeting species

45
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:51,400
like bonefish, permit and tarpin. With the cooler weather and

46
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:54,800
abundant baitfish, October is an excellent time to fish in

47
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,400
the Florida Keys and Miami. Enjoy your trip and that
