Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers, artificial lure. Here with your Friday, September fifth,
twenty twenty five fishing report live from the Golden Waters
in and around the Florida Keys and Miami. We started
the morning under partly cloudy skies with some humid air
in the low eighties. According to the National Weather Service,
expect southwest winds today at ten to fifteen knots over
the bays and near shore. There's a slight to moderate
chop out there, and be ready for downpours and scattered
thunderstorms throughout the day. Peep an eye on the radar
and pack that rain show because the front in the
Gulf is feeding in plenty of moisture right through the weekend.
Sunrise hit us right at seven oh two am, and
we'll see sunset tonight at seven thirty five pm, giving
us just over twelve and a half hours of daylight
for those epic drifts in the flats or long soaks
by the bridges. Now to the tides. Miami Beach had
a high tide early around two fifty four am, with
the next low tide coming at nine twenty four am,
then a strong push to high again at four oh
five pmwing is on the low side today with a
tidal coefficient rising gently from twenty eight to thirty five
by dark, meaning current will be lazy with only subtle
moves on bait and fish. That's got many anglers posting
up near structure or deeper edges instead of work in
the open flats. The inshore bites lit up in the
early morning and late evening hours. Local guides at budenaries
and robbies have been put in folks on healthy sea route,
solid schools of mangrove snapper off the mainland channels, plus
Spanish mackerel cutting up the outer edges of the patch reefs.
There's also action from resident tarpin and dock lights and
creek mouths, especially where stormwater runoff is moving shrimp and
bait fish. For you offshore folks, Mahi mahi catches continue steady,
mainly schoolies, with the odds slammer thrown in farther out,
especially near floating debris on the color change between eight
hundred and one thousand feet deep. Drop crews have been seen,
plenty of tile fish and yellow edge grouper, and this
week strong reports a black fintuna busting on the ocean
side near Fowey and Tennessee Reefs, where the schools get
hammered by birds and benita hot baits. This week, live
pilchards are gold if you can net them before the
storms hit. For artificials, anything with a shimmer or chartruse
skirt is drawn hard strikes, especially bucktail jigs tipped with
gold or live shrimp under popping corks, trolling skirts and feathers,
and blue white or pink have produced good numbers on
Mahi Mai offshore, with the classic cedar plug still cracking
the code on tuna. If you're looking to slim down
the search, two of the hottest local spots right now
are Alligator Reef off Islamorada. Anglers are pulling up serious
numbers of yellowtail, snapper and the occasional mutton in the
sand and the run along Government Cut in Miami Beach,
where outgoing tied in the evening is a prime window
for snook and tarpin feeding in the wash. Quick tip
with those skins shattered thunderstorms rolling in fast, you'll want
to keep an eye on the sky and the radar
app Remember if you hear thunder, get off the water.
And safe undercover until it's passed. That wraps up today's
report from the Keys to the Magic City. Thanks for
