00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,439
Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers. Artificial Lore here with your Sunday, August

2
00:00:03,439 --> 00:00:06,799
tenth fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami region.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,359
We kicked off today with the sunrise at six twenty

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:13,320
nine am over Miami's Government Cut and sunset's coming at

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,919
eight zero seven pm. That's a long day on the

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,559
water with tides running strong. High tide hit around eleven

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,519
oh two am, and you can expect slack low tide

8
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:26,559
mid afternoon. Tidle coefficients are high, lots of water moving,

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,920
especially around the cuts and passes, meaning fish or feeding

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,560
heavy through the peak periods Over at Elliott Key sunrise

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,079
with six thirty four am sunset just after eight pm.

12
00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:39,679
The tide chart there shows a good high low swing

13
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,679
favoring a steady bite all morning and late afternoon. Weather's

14
00:00:43,679 --> 00:00:48,679
classic August muggy high's pushing ninety gentle southeast breeze and

15
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:51,520
a steady forty percent chance of a passing shower, but

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,439
nothing to scare off a serious trip. Water temps are

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,240
right in that summer sweet spot, perfect for reef and

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,359
offshore action. Visibility is good, curve aren't strong, and barring

19
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,439
any pop up thunderstorms, you're set for a solid day out.

20
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:08,599
Fishing action has been absolutely popping. Yesterday, cruise out of

21
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,439
Marathon in Islamorada slammed in the black fin, tuner, dolphin,

22
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:17,079
mahi and those always fun yellowtail snapper. Glian Snider and

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,239
crew reported dolphin pushing near the reed lines and blackfin

24
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:24,000
blitzing on pilchered schools. If you're headed offshore, rig up

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,200
with live baits or a trolling spread featuring brake colored

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:31,400
feathers or skirts, especially blue and pink. Recent full moon

27
00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:34,959
has mutton snapper feeding like crazy at dusk. Bottom rigs

28
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,400
with fresh ballyhoo chunks or live pinfish are your best

29
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,319
bet for keeper sized muttons near Rex and Patch reefs.

30
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:45,920
From Miami down to Islamorada, backcountry and flat's actions been steady.

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,840
Bonefish retailing and if you're into sight fishing, the flats

32
00:01:49,879 --> 00:01:53,000
around Lower Modicum and Ocean Reef have been producing well

33
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:57,319
on small shrimp, tip jigs and synthetic crab imitations. Tarpin

34
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,519
schools are staging early mornings at bridges. Try freelining crabs

35
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:04,680
or big mullet at seven mile or Long Key. Some

36
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,080
lucky anglers have been pulling in grouper and tilefish on

37
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,439
the deep drop, especially in the three hundred foot zones

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,719
off the middle keys drop rigs with squid or cut

39
00:02:14,759 --> 00:02:19,159
bonito are getting hit hard for refishing. Double hooked chicken

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,560
rigs tipped with fresh shrimp keep the mangrove snappers coming

41
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:25,520
over the rail two at a time. Bit of choice

42
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,840
this week is live pilchered if you can met him,

43
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:32,360
Otherwise fresh bally who is acing both surface and bottom action.

44
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,719
Artificial lures go with hogi or yozeri hybrid jigs for

45
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:40,400
the tunas, pink and yellow bucktail for mahi, and big

46
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,039
swim baits for the group or deep hot spots you

47
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,319
shouldn't skip today. Alligator reef always a crowd pleaser for

48
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,039
snapper and mahi, especially during a strong incoming tide. Channel

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,360
five bridges killer for tarpin and snook. Bites at dusk

50
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,639
islamarada humps if you're heading off shore, the blackfin in

51
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:03,080
maha or stacked up shoulder to shoulder before you go.

52
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,439
Be sure to check those afternoon storms. The bite'es best

53
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,400
right before the rain, but safety stays first, and remember

54
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,520
the US Coast Guard reminds everyone to avoid illegal charters

55
00:03:14,759 --> 00:03:18,080
and always file your float plan that wraps it up

56
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,199
for your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report. Thanks for
