Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
As of October fifth, the Florida Keys in Miami are
offering some fantastic fishing opportunities, especially with the fall bait
migration in full swing. Weather and tides today, you can
expect a mild morning with temperatures in the mid seventies,
gradually warming up to the mid eighties by afternoon. The
skies will be partly cloudy with a gentle northeasterly breeze.
Tides are looking favorable with a high tide at around
nine thirty am and a low tide at three thirty pm,
which should bring plenty of bait fish and larger predators
into the area. Hatter sunrise and sunset. Sunrise is at
seven twenty three am and sunset will be at seven
o four pm, giving you ample daylight to enjoy your
fishing trip. Fish activity yesterday saw a lot of activity
from various species. Tarpin, although typically more active in the summer,
are still present in good numbers, particularly around the protected
areas of islands, creeks and canals. Redfish and snook fishing
has been stellar, with some larger snook in the twelve
to eighteen pound range, and redfish mixed in. Black drum,
usually more common in colder months, have also been spotted
in the twenty five pound range, making for some exciting
catches on light tackle. Types of fish caught. Tarpin small
to medium sized, often found in the back country and
around mangrove channels. Snook larger sizes up to eighteen pounds,
particularly in the creeks and shorelines of Flamingo and the mainland.
Redfish mixed sizes, but plenty of action in the flats
and protected areas. Black drum larger sizes up to twenty
five pounds an unusual but welcome sight this early in
the season. Bonefish active on the flats, especially with the
higher tides reaching into different parts of the flats in
Bay hash best lures and bait for tarpin and larger species.
Live bait such as battles mullet is highly effective for
redfish and snook. Jigs and soft plastics like shrimp or
crab imitations work well. Bonefish can be targeted with small
jigs or fly fishing gear. The fall bait migration means
there are plenty of natural baits like pilchards and sardines
that the fish are feeding on, so using these or
lures that mimic them can be very successful. Hotspots Flamingo
and the mainland of South Florida. The creeks, canals, and
shorelines here are teeming with baitfish and larger predators. Everglades
National Park, the backcountry inlets and mangrove channels are perfect
for targeting tarpin, snook, redfish, and bonefish. The flats around Islamorada.
These areas are great for sight fishing and targeting species
like bonefish, permit and tarpin. With the cooler weather and
abundant baitfish, October is an excellent time to fish in
the Florida Keys and Miami. Enjoy your trip and that
