00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,759
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami,

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,240
and here is what is bending our rods today. Hey y'all,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:11,080
this is artificial lure coming at you with the hot

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,359
fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday, April thirtieth, twenty twenty five.

5
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,079
Down here in Paradise, folks, let me tell you, the

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,079
fishing in the Florida Keys in Miami is absolutely on

7
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:25,559
fire right now. The backcountry of the Keys has been

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:29,519
producing a stellar snook bite in the potholes, moats, and ledges.

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,479
These fish are really starting to feed aggressively with the

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:37,039
consistent warm weather we've been having. Offshore, the kite anglers

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,000
have been scoring big time in waters ranging from a

12
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:43,119
one fifty to three hundred feet deep, bringing in a

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,840
mixed bag of pelagics. The big mahi mahi that we

14
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,479
all wait for all year are starting to show up

15
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,119
in good numbers. So now's the time to get out

16
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:54,439
there if you want a chance at a trophy dolphin.

17
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,280
This is peaked tarpin season across South Florida. These magnificent

18
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:03,960
silver kings are migrating northward along our coast. Earlier this month,

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,359
they were concentrated more in the upper Keys around Islamorada

20
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,640
and Key Largo, but now they've pushed further south toward

21
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,799
Key West. Look for them rolling on the surface. Sometimes

22
00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:17,000
you'll even see their heads sticking out of the water

23
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,599
or their backs. Live bait has been the ticket smaller pinfish,

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,920
crabs or large shrimp. Some anglers are anchoring up in

25
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:28,920
channels near the flats and drifting out baits with great

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,640
success for the fly fishermen. Permit fishing has been tougher

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,879
than normal this season after our colder than usual winter,

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,680
but the fish are there, just further south than typical.

29
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,319
Bonefish action has been solid on days with good conditions.

30
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,319
Redfish are making a comeback in some of their old

31
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:51,680
haunts closer to home. They're not in huge numbers yet,

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,239
but some real bruisers in the thirty inch range have

33
00:01:54,319 --> 00:01:59,319
been caught, which is promising for the fishery. Hotspots to hit.

34
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:03,239
Check out the channels around Isla Marada for tarpin, especially

35
00:02:03,319 --> 00:02:07,680
around dawn and dusk. For snook. The backcountry areas around

36
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:11,639
Lower Matacumbe Key have been producing. If you're looking to

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,560
get off shore for those mahi, head out of Key

38
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:17,759
Largo and look for weed lines and floating debris once

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,319
you hit that deep blue water. Best baits right now

40
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,039
are live pilchards, pinfish, and blue crabs for the tarpin.

41
00:02:24,759 --> 00:02:27,280
For artificial, you can't go wrong with a seven inch

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,439
Hogy soft plastic in bone white or a Bomber wind

43
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,159
cheater for those snook. Remember, folks, the early bird gets

44
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:37,520
the worm, or in our case, the fish get out

45
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,879
there in tight lines. To you, this is artificial lure,

46
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:43,439
signing off until the next time, and that is it

48
00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:49,080
Keep those tips up in lines wet. This has been

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,759
a quite please production with the help of AI. Thanks

50
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:53,360
for listening.
