Speaker 1: This is your Daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,000
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today. Today,

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,519
April fourth, twenty twenty five, the Florida Keys and Miami

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:15,000
fishing scene is thriving, offering excellent opportunities for anglers seeking

5
00:00:15,039 --> 00:00:19,079
diverse species. The weather is sunny with moderate breezes typical

6
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,399
for spring, helping to stabilize water temperatures. Sunrise was at

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,559
seven o three am and the sunset is expected at

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,000
seven forty four pm. The tidal report reflects a high

9
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,520
tide around mid morning, perfect for targeting fish cruising the shallows,

10
00:00:34,759 --> 00:00:39,039
and a low tide returning late afternoon. Bonefish, tarpin, and

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,079
snook are the main highlights today. Bonefish have been active

12
00:00:43,079 --> 00:00:46,759
on the flats around Islamorada and Key Largo, especially during

13
00:00:46,799 --> 00:00:51,439
calmer mornings. Anglers have reported consistent catches of tarpan near

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,719
bridges and channels, with the best spots being around the

15
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:58,560
seven Mile Bridge and Bahaya Honda where these silver kings

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,920
are migrating in large numbers. Snook are heating up in

17
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,560
backcountry waters such as Florida Bay and Flamingo Offshore, the

18
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:10,439
action is robust with large mahi, mahi dolphinfish being found

19
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,159
just past the one hundred one hundred and fifty feet range.

20
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:17,200
Wahoo have also been reported near deeper reefs, and anglers

21
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:20,840
targeting them are enjoying some solid bites. For the best

22
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,400
results today, use live baits such as shrimp, mullet or

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,480
small crabs for inshore species like tarpin, bonefish, and snook.

24
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:32,840
For artificial options, soft plastics like paddle tails and jerk

25
00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:37,439
baits in natural colors are highly effective. Offshore anglers targeting mahi,

26
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,359
mahi or wahoo should consider trolling with weighted paddle tails

27
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,439
or bright colored plugs. Key hotspots to target include the

28
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,519
flats off Key Largo and Islamorada, as well as the

29
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,239
deep waters near the reef line. For offshore enthusiasts. The

30
00:01:52,319 --> 00:01:55,560
seven mile Bridge remains a must visit for tarpan anglers,

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,359
while the backcountry near Flamingo offers exciting opportunities for sk

32
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:05,200
and redfish. Recent fishing reports have been promising, with anglers

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,080
landing mahi mahi up to thirty pounds, bonefish in the

34
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,599
five to eight pound range, and tarpin up to one

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,719
hundred pounds each. Angler's technique and tide timing have played

36
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:18,560
a significant role in success. It's shaping up to be

37
00:02:18,599 --> 00:02:21,960
