Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
Good morning anglers. Today is April fourth, twenty twenty five,
and here's your fishing report for Miami and the Florida Keys.
The Florida Keys are buzzing with action as spring temperatures
stabilize and the waters warm up. Sunrise today was at
seven o five am, with sunset expected at seven forty
five pm. The tides feature a high tide mid morning
and a low tide early afternoon, so plan accordingly for
the changing water depths to target fish near structure or
feeding areas. Fish activity in catches. April is peaked tarpin season,
and these acrobatic silver beasts are abundant from Miami down
through the Keys. Look for them in deeper channels and
around bridges, especially near Islamorada and Key Largo. Live crabs
or big shrimp are the go to baits for tarpin.
Those soft plastic paddle tails like the Hogi original eel
also do wonders for these wary so surface rollers. Bonefish
are active on the ocean side flats near Islamorada and Marathon.
They are chasing live shrimp and small crabs, excellent bait
choices for these ghosts of the flats. Permit fishing has
been slower recently, but a few anglers are still reporting
success on the flats using live crabs. Offshore, the bigger
ma may are making an appearance, with anglers hooking into
quality fish just beyond the one hundred to one hundred
and fifty foot depth range. Wahoo have also been biting
along the reefs, so if you get a hit, mark
your spot and return because they often school in the area.
Reef and wreck fishing has been productive for yellowtail snapper,
mangrove snapper, and grouper, all of which are excellent for
the dinner table. Use cut bait or squid, and don't
forget to chum to bring them close. Inshore action near
the Everglades is consistent for redfish, sea trout, and snook,
especially around Flamingo and the Florida Bay area. Light tackle
and live shrimp will work best in the flats and mangroves.
Hotspots one the seven Mile Bridge a perennial favorite. Fish
the shadow lines during the evening for tarpin or throughout
the day for snapper and grouper. The soft plastic no
live bait needed NLBN three inch paddle tails are performing
exceptionally well to Bahia Honda State Park. Fantastic for bonefish
and the occasional tarpin. A perfect shore fishing spot when
the wind is cooperating. Three Indian Key Channel known for
consistent catches of grouper, snapper, and barracuda. Bring along jigs
tipped with squid or shrimp. Best baits and lures for tarpin,
Live blue crabs and fresh shrimp are excellent, but soft
plastics like the Hogi original eel, unweighted or paddle tails
are highly effective. Snapper and grouper are biting well on
squid cut bait and small jigs for bonefish. Live shrimp
and crab are foolproof options. Offshorels targeting Mahai and Wahu
should try trolling with weighted protail eels in colors like
bone glow or black purple flake. Weather report you can
expect warm and mostly sunny conditions today with temperatures in
the mid eighties. Winds are light at about ten to
twelve knots coming out of the southeast, ideal for a
calmer day out on the water. Get out there, stay
safe and tight lines. And that is it for today.
