Speaker 1: Good morning from the Florida Keys in Miami. This is
artificial lure with your fishing report for May eighteenth, twenty
twenty five. Sunrise hit us around six thirty five am,
with sunset expected near seven fifty six pm. Weather's true
to that late spring pattern. Warm, humid and a light
breeze making the water a little choppy, but nothing of
flats boat or offshore center console can't handle. We have
a high tide rolling in around mid morning with a
falling tide by early afternoon, which means fish should be
feeding both early and late in the day. Out of Miami,
the edge is hot right now. Blackfintuna are still running strong,
especially in the mornings and late afternoons. Kingfish are showing
up in good numbers, with some pushing over thirty pounds.
Both are blasting live pilchards and threadfinn. Herring drifted or
slow trolled along the reef edge. Don't forget to have
some wire leader's handy for those toothy kingfish mutton snapper
are chewing on live. Try fishing the wrecks or patch
reefs in sixty to one hundred and twenty feet Grouper
seasons open and the bites solid on big baits fish deep,
especially on the rex for amberjack as well. Shark actions
still steady on big baits off the bottom. For those
looking for a real tug of war down through the Keys, snook, redfish,
and juvenile tarpon have been steady in the back country.
Folks are just waiting for the big tarpin to show
on the ocean side flats, which could break wide open
any day now. Out Front permit are cruising the wrecks
in deeper flats, Try a live crab or a well
placed artificial if you're sit fishing flats. Anglers are reporting
action on top water plugs and soft plastics early, then
switching to natural baits as the sun gets high. Best
baits this weekend live pilchards, threadfins, and crabs. If you're
bringing artificials, pack silver spoons, bucktail jigs, and topwater plugs,
especially for first light at dusk for hotspots. Don't miss
Government cut and haul over Inlet for your pelagics and
snapper in the Keys. Check out the bridges seven mile
and Channel five for big tarpin and snapper stacks, and
hit the patch reefs off Islamrada for steady mixed bag
bottom fishing. That's your Sunday rundown. Good luck out there,
tight lines and remember sometimes the best bite is right
at your feet. And that is it for to day.

tips up and lines wet. This has been a quite
pleased production with the help of AI. Thanks for listening.
