00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Good morning from the Florida Keys in Miami. This is

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,519
artificial lure with your fishing report for May eighteenth, twenty

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,320
twenty five. Sunrise hit us around six thirty five am,

4
00:00:10,359 --> 00:00:14,560
with sunset expected near seven fifty six pm. Weather's true

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,800
to that late spring pattern. Warm, humid and a light

6
00:00:17,879 --> 00:00:21,320
breeze making the water a little choppy, but nothing of

7
00:00:21,399 --> 00:00:25,239
flats boat or offshore center console can't handle. We have

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,960
a high tide rolling in around mid morning with a

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,960
falling tide by early afternoon, which means fish should be

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:35,240
feeding both early and late in the day. Out of Miami,

11
00:00:35,399 --> 00:00:39,359
the edge is hot right now. Blackfintuna are still running strong,

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,280
especially in the mornings and late afternoons. Kingfish are showing

13
00:00:43,359 --> 00:00:46,520
up in good numbers, with some pushing over thirty pounds.

14
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,039
Both are blasting live pilchards and threadfinn. Herring drifted or

15
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:54,640
slow trolled along the reef edge. Don't forget to have

16
00:00:54,719 --> 00:00:58,640
some wire leader's handy for those toothy kingfish mutton snapper

17
00:00:58,719 --> 00:01:02,600
are chewing on live. Try fishing the wrecks or patch

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,359
reefs in sixty to one hundred and twenty feet Grouper

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,719
seasons open and the bites solid on big baits fish deep,

20
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:13,719
especially on the rex for amberjack as well. Shark actions

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,120
still steady on big baits off the bottom. For those

22
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:21,400
looking for a real tug of war down through the Keys, snook, redfish,

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
and juvenile tarpon have been steady in the back country.

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,200
Folks are just waiting for the big tarpin to show

25
00:01:27,239 --> 00:01:30,079
on the ocean side flats, which could break wide open

26
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,000
any day now. Out Front permit are cruising the wrecks

27
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,840
in deeper flats, Try a live crab or a well

28
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:40,760
placed artificial if you're sit fishing flats. Anglers are reporting

29
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:44,200
action on top water plugs and soft plastics early, then

30
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,200
switching to natural baits as the sun gets high. Best

31
00:01:48,239 --> 00:01:53,200
baits this weekend live pilchards, threadfins, and crabs. If you're

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,200
bringing artificials, pack silver spoons, bucktail jigs, and topwater plugs,

33
00:01:58,519 --> 00:02:02,920
especially for first light at dusk for hotspots. Don't miss

34
00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:05,719
Government cut and haul over Inlet for your pelagics and

35
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:09,520
snapper in the Keys. Check out the bridges seven mile

36
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,439
and Channel five for big tarpin and snapper stacks, and

37
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,599
hit the patch reefs off Islamrada for steady mixed bag

38
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,680
bottom fishing. That's your Sunday rundown. Good luck out there,

39
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:23,479
tight lines and remember sometimes the best bite is right

40
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,919
