00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,279
and here is what is bending our rods today. Hey there,

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,119
fellow anglers artificial lure. Here with your Florida Keys fishing

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,439
report from March twenty eighth, twenty twenty five. Let me

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:18,199
tell you the fishing's been hotter than a Key West

6
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,359
summer lately. Weather's looking mighty fine today with temps in

7
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:25,719
the mid seventies and a gentle southeast breeze at ten knots.

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,239
Sunrise was at seven fifteen am and we'll be watching

9
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,600
that beautiful Keys sunset at seven thirty five pm. We've

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,880
got a high tide coming in at ten twenty three

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,119
am and low tide at four forty seven pm, so

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,920
plan your trips accordingly. The Tarpin migration is in full swing, folks.

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,679
We've been seeing some monsters in the one hundred hundred

14
00:00:46,679 --> 00:00:50,039
and fifty pound range, especially around the bridges and channels.

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,119
Permit fishing has been stellar on the flats, with several

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,799
anglers reporting catches in the fifteen to twenty pound class.

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,520
The reef's been producing some quality mutton snappers and a

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,040
few hefty groupers for you offshore enthusiasts. The mahi mahi

19
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:08,519
bite has been picking up, with some nice bulls in

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,040
the thirty pound range being boted. We've also had reports

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,200
of a few early season sailfish releases. As for lures,

22
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:18,799
you can't go wrong with a doa bait buster For

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,840
those bridge tarpin on the flats, A well presented crab

24
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,719
fly or a gulp crab on a jighead has been

25
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,239
doing the trick for permit. For the reef fish, butterfly

26
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:32,359
jigs and live pinfish have been the ticket. If you're

27
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,239
more of a bait fisherman, Live shrimp and pilchards have

28
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,120
been producing well across the board. For the offshore crowd,

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,879
rigged Bally who is still the go to for trolling now.

30
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,760
For some hotspots, the seven mile Bridge has been on

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:50,400
fire for tarpin, especially on the incoming tide. For those permit,

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,079
I'd suggest hitting the flats around Lower Mattacombe Key. If

33
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:57,239
you're looking to bend a rod on some reef fish,

34
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:02,719
the area just off Sombrero Reef has been consistently Remember folks,

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,920
