00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,319 --> 00:00:06,400
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,199
Good morning, anglers, here's your Friday, April eleventh, twenty twenty

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,439
five fishing report for the waters around the Florida Keys

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,320
and Miami. Conditions are shaping up nicely, so let's dive in.

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,359
Sunrise today was at seven sixteen am and sunset will

7
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:25,399
be at seven forty three pm, giving you plenty of

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,079
daylight to hit the water. Temperatures are comfortably warm, peaking

9
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,839
in the mid to high eighties with a light breeze,

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,320
ideal weather for both offshore and inshore fishing. The tides

11
00:00:36,359 --> 00:00:39,560
in the Florida Keys are moderately favorable for fishing today.

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,039
The mix of high and low tides should support good

13
00:00:43,039 --> 00:00:48,200
fish activity, especially during the transitional periods. Make sure to

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,840
plan your fishing trips around these tide changes for optimal results.

15
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,359
In the Florida Keys, tarpin remain the star attraction. Anglers

16
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,960
targeting the silver king are finding success near local chair

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,200
panels and bridges, particularly during the early morning hours. Live

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,879
mullet and dead bait are working well, with a few

19
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,000
fish caught around forty to fifty pounds earlier this week.

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,480
For artificial lures, try unweighted soft plastics like the HOGI

21
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:19,200
ten inch original eel or weighted protail eels for areas

22
00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,719
with stronger current. Meanwhile, reef and flats fishing continues to

23
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:30,040
produce an impressive variety of species, including yellowtail snapper, mangrove snapper, bonefish,

24
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:34,519
and permits. Soft plastics such as doa shrimp and paddletail

25
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,920
jigs remain the go to lures for flats fishing. Live

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,560
shrimp and crabs are excellent bait choices for permit and bonefish. Offshore,

27
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,959
those venturing out past the reef are reporting blackfintuna action. Trolling.

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,079
Weighted seven inch protail eels at around four point five

29
00:01:50,159 --> 00:01:54,959
knots has been particularly effective. Closer to Miami. Inshore fishing

30
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,760
is buzzing with snook, redfish, and sea trout. Twitch baits

31
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:01,519
such as mere olures in jerk baits like the Rpalla

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,599
x rap are yielding solid results. In shallower waters. Anglers

33
00:02:05,599 --> 00:02:09,039
are also catching jacks and small sharks, providing exciting light

34
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:14,080
tackle opportunities for bass anglers. Locally favored lures like speed

35
00:02:14,159 --> 00:02:18,360
worms and jerk baits are delivering consistent success in Miami's

36
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,599
freshwater canals and lakes. If you're looking for hotspots, head

37
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,560
to Islamrada for tarpin in the early hours or the

38
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,319
bridges around Big Pine Key, which are buzzing with game

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,879
fish activity. Alternatively, try Key Biscayne for snook and jacks

40
00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:36,400
near the mangroves. The keys in Miami waters are alive

41
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,240
with action this week. Don't forget to bring a mix

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:43,120
of live bait and artificial lures to adapt to different conditions.

43
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:48,280
