Speaker 1: Morning, y'all. This is artificial lore. With your Saturday August ninth,
twenty twenty five Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report. Let's
get you on the fish before the storms roll through.
Sun crested over the bay at six point fifty am
with lines in before the heat really starts kicking. Expect
another batch of rain and passing thunder this afternoon. Key
Largo's already seeing thick clouds and storms. Temps hovering in
the upper seventies to low eighties, and humid is a
bait bucket Key Largo's South Sound floor. Local weather today
ten to minus winds will be manageable out of the
southeast at about ten knots, but bumps off shore and
some white caps around exposed reefs are likely. National Weather
Service Marine Forecast fc wc k KE Plan those longer
runs early and bring your rain gear. Expect numerous showers
and scattered thunderstorms through the rest of today. Over in Miami,
the tides running high early. First high tide hit about
eight forty nine am, with a low at three zero
four pm and another high up at nine twenty two
pm tonight. Tide times in tide chart for Miami current's moving,
but the tidle coefficient is sitting a bit low, so
don't expect raging flows. Same story in Key West, with
the morning high running around nine to forty five am,
bottoming out later in the afternoon. Noah tide predictions, fficill
likely feed up on those highs, especially inshore. No red
tide reported along the east coast or down the Keys
this week according to FWC, and water clarity is held
pretty steady red tide current status. That means bait is
plentiful and no respiratory irritation to worry about. Recent catches
have been strong all around out on the patch reefs
and blue water slicks. Mahimadi is still the hot ticket.
Lots of chicken dolphin mixed in with a few gaffers
up to twenty pounds reported just outside the edge, especially
south of Alligator Reef and east of tennessee light tooling.
Naked balahu are dolphin, colored artificials, works wonders, blue and
white skirts or pink billy baits are both contenders. Find
the weed lines and the fish are there closer in.
Yellowtail snapper are thick on the reefs from Islamrada down
towards Key Largo. They're cheering best on the incoming tide,
taking cut baits, think silver sides, glass minnows, or fresh
shrimp on a long leader. Early risers have done best
anchoring over fifty to seventy feet and chumming hard. Mangrove
snapper are firing after dark, especially near bridges and under lights.
Back country is alive too. Bone Fish and permit flats
around Biscany Bay and the Upper Keys light up on
a moving tide. Bonefish are taking pink or white, buttailed
jigs and shrimp tip jigs are a sure bet this week.
Permit have been finicky but are still eating live crabs
when you can present them quietly. Tarpan are still holding
in channels and bridge passes. The dusk bites be in
the ticket with fish rolling hard after sunset. Best baits
live mullet pilchered or big swim baits. If you're throwing
lures for lures right now, keep it classic and natural.
Pilchered and mulled imitations like yosery, crystal minnows or rappola
x raps are working across the board morning hours. Try
topwater like a head in super spook. Early walkers get
crushed around the mangroves. A couple hotspots can't go wrong
with the Islam Morada Hump for offshore action, mahe tuna
and even blackfin making appearances inshore. Hit the Long Key
Bridge at sunrise for snooke and tarpin where the flats
between Tavernir and Rodriguez Key for bonefish at high tide.
Whether you're drifting patch reefs or pulling quiet flats, fish
are there. You just got to work between the storms
and take advantage of those tide swings. Thanks for tuning
