00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers. This is artificial lore with your Florida

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,759
Keys and Miami Fishing report for Sunday, August thirty first,

3
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:10,519
twenty twenty five. Sunrises at seven o eight am and

4
00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:13,759
sunset hits at seven forty six pm, so we've got

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,359
a full day to hit the water. Today's tides in

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,600
Key West roll in with a high at three fifteen

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:22,399
am and five eighteen pm and lows at ten fifty

8
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,640
nine am and seven thirty three pm, with modest coefficients

9
00:00:26,719 --> 00:00:30,640
meaning minimal current and calmer fishing. Over in Miami Beach,

10
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:33,719
tidal swings are similar. Expect the high to come at

11
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:36,880
two oh three pm, with the lows just after breakfast

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,320
and near sunset. For those fishing up near Tavinir or

13
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:43,479
Channel two Bridge, you're looking at highs around seven forty

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,399
am and two thirty seven am, so hit that early

15
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,840
bite while you can. Weather's looking favorable. Expect light westerly

16
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,560
winds all day, mostly five to ten knots, sees at

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,439
two feet or less, and only light chop on the bay.

18
00:00:58,039 --> 00:01:00,399
Keep an eye out for the chance of scattered storms

19
00:01:00,439 --> 00:01:03,920
building into the afternoon. According to the National Weather Service,

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,120
Miami planned for possible gusts if those showers roll through.

21
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,439
The fish have stayed pretty active with the steady warm

22
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,319
August warders reports out of the Keys say patriifes are

23
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:19,640
holding solid numbers of yellowtail snapper, with most boats limiting

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,719
out using light jigs tipped with cut squid or small pilchards.

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,560
The deeper wrecks are stacked with mutton snapper and the

26
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:32,480
occasional black grouper, live pinfish or large pilchered work here.

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Off shore, the dolphin mahi mahi bite remains decent, mostly schoolies,

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,159
but a few gaffers mixed in trolling small feather lures

29
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:46,640
and dolphin colors or rigged ballyhoo behind skirted lures is

30
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,560
doing the trick, especially in the afternoons when weed lines

31
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:54,719
it pushed closer by light winds. Closer to Miami, snook

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,879
and tarpah have been holding around inlets and bridges during

33
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:01,959
dawn and dusk. The outgoing tide has produced the best bite.

34
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,439
Throw big swim baits, live mullet, or doa terra. Wise,

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,639
if you're working artificials for daytime action, you'll have the

36
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,719
most luck with mangrove snapper tight to structure. Small live

37
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:18,639
shrimp or pilchered on a low profile rig is best.

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,599
Bonefish action has picked up on the flats near Islamrata

39
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:27,520
and Biscayne Bay, especially on the early morning incoming tide.

40
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:32,199
Fly anglers rid with gotches or epoxy shrimp patterns report

41
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,240
steady hookups when moving quietly over turtle grass, while spin

42
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:41,520
folks are connecting with small white bucktail jigs. Hotspots you

43
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:45,919
don't want to miss. Channel two bridge lower may come

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,719
key great for snapper, tarpin at night, fish live shrimp

45
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:55,840
or crab, or toss big swim pluds after sunset. Makem's

46
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,680
Islamorada patch reefs loaded with yellowtail and mixed snap right now.

47
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:05,199
Drifting with light jigs or cut bait means fast limits

48
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:10,159
first government cut Miami strong snooke and tarpin in the

49
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,879
early evening, with some permit showing up around rock piles.

50
00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:19,360
Try crabs or big paddle tails for bait. Pilchards remain king,

51
00:03:19,879 --> 00:03:23,280
but fresh ballyhoo and cut squid are producing across the board,

52
00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:28,080
especially for snapper and grouper. Live shrimp and small crabs

53
00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:33,759
are gold for flat species. Lower recommendations if you like artificials.

54
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Keep a few Rapalla X wraps, Hogi paddle tails and bucktails.

55
00:03:39,159 --> 00:03:44,439
Handy chartreuse or white color ways are reliable. Fly anglers

56
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,840
should match the hatch with Gotcha, plouser or crab patterns.

57
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:53,120
Action's been steady. A few boats reported limits on snapper

58
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,960
and some shared photos of dolphin in the ten to

59
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,479
twenty pound range. Midweek grouper remain scad, but a couple

60
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,639
of nice blacks near twenty five pounds were landed over

61
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:07,479
deep wrecks. Thanks as always for tuning in. Don't forget
