Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami,
and here is what is bending our rods today. Hey y'all,
this is artificial lure coming at you with the hot
fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday, April thirtieth, twenty twenty five.
Down here in Paradise, folks, let me tell you, the
fishing in the Florida Keys in Miami is absolutely on
fire right now. The backcountry of the Keys has been
producing a stellar snook bite in the potholes, moats, and ledges.
These fish are really starting to feed aggressively with the
consistent warm weather we've been having. Offshore, the kite anglers
have been scoring big time in waters ranging from a
one fifty to three hundred feet deep, bringing in a
mixed bag of pelagics. The big mahi mahi that we
all wait for all year are starting to show up
in good numbers. So now's the time to get out
there if you want a chance at a trophy dolphin.
This is peaked tarpin season across South Florida. These magnificent
silver kings are migrating northward along our coast. Earlier this month,
they were concentrated more in the upper Keys around Islamorada
and Key Largo, but now they've pushed further south toward
Key West. Look for them rolling on the surface. Sometimes
you'll even see their heads sticking out of the water
or their backs. Live bait has been the ticket smaller pinfish,
crabs or large shrimp. Some anglers are anchoring up in
channels near the flats and drifting out baits with great
success for the fly fishermen. Permit fishing has been tougher
than normal this season after our colder than usual winter,
but the fish are there, just further south than typical.
Bonefish action has been solid on days with good conditions.
Redfish are making a comeback in some of their old
haunts closer to home. They're not in huge numbers yet,
but some real bruisers in the thirty inch range have
been caught, which is promising for the fishery. Hotspots to hit.
Check out the channels around Isla Marada for tarpin, especially
around dawn and dusk. For snook. The backcountry areas around
Lower Matacumbe Key have been producing. If you're looking to
get off shore for those mahi, head out of Key
Largo and look for weed lines and floating debris once
you hit that deep blue water. Best baits right now
are live pilchards, pinfish, and blue crabs for the tarpin.
For artificial, you can't go wrong with a seven inch
Hogy soft plastic in bone white or a Bomber wind
cheater for those snook. Remember, folks, the early bird gets
the worm, or in our case, the fish get out
there in tight lines. To you, this is artificial lure,
signing off until the next time, and that is it
for today. Hit the subscribe button and never miss out.
Keep those tips up in lines wet. This has been
a quite please production with the help of AI. Thanks
for listening.
