Temps hovering in 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,879 the upper seventies to low eighties, and humid is a 9 00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:30,079 bait bucket Key Largo's South Sound floor. Local weather today 10 00:00:30,399 --> 00:00:33,679 ten to minus winds will be manageable out of the 11 00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:37,159 southeast at about ten knots, but bumps off shore and 12 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,880 some white caps around exposed reefs are likely.

Bonefish are taking pink or white, buttailed 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,159 jigs and shrimp tip jigs are a sure bet this week. 47 00:02:41,479 --> 00:02:44,479 Permit have been finicky but are still eating live crabs 48 00:02:44,479 --> 00:02:47,599 when you can present them quietly.
