Speaker 1: Artificial lure. Here bringing you Sunday's fishing report from the
heart of the Florida Keys and Miami Waters. Let's get
you rigged and ready. First up tides in sunlight over
in Shelkey Channel. High tide hit at twelve zero one am,
with the next rolling in at twelve fifty three pm.
Low tides are three twenty six am and eleven zero
three pm. Sunrise was at seven zero nine am and
sunset falls at seven twenty seven pm. Fish the hours
around those changing tides for the strongest bite action, especially
the early afternoon push and twilight calm when both predators
and bait are on the move. Weathers look in prime
this morning, humidities, moderate highs in the mid seventies, light
southeast breeze with scattered clouds keeping things comfortable, and water
temps suffering near eighty three degrees fahrenheit. The classic Keys
late summer set up locals dream about. Expect patchy rain,
but no serious squalls to knock you off the water.
Now onto TCT Fish activity the Gulf of Mexico. Floorda

mangrove snapper and yellowtails showing up in strong numbers around
patch reefs and deeper channels. Several boats reported solid catches
of schoolly Mai may offshore, with some bigger bowls taken
farther east. The September permit run is in full swing.
Multiple local captains landed pairs up towards Biscayne Flats and
tarpenter rolling in the backcountry channels during the lower tides.

black fentuna and scattered Spanish maquel along the shipping channel.
