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, artificial lure. Here with your midweek fishing
report for the Florida Keys in Miami area dated May seventh,
twenty twenty five. We are kicking off May in classic
Keys in Miami fashion with warm weather, light winds, and
calmer seas than we saw over the winter. Sunrise this
morning was at six thirty eight a m. And you
can expect sunset around seven fifty three pm. Tides today
are running moderate, with a high tide peaking mid morning
and an outgoing tide through the afternoon, setting the stage
for some prime bites inshore and offshore. In Florida Bay,
the snook action is still on fire. Anglers are reporting
steady hookups, especially around mangroves and creek mouths. Soft plastics,
paddle tails and live pilchards have been the ticket. Move
out a little deeper, and the yellowtail snapper bite is
strong in sixty to ninety feet anchor up on the reef.
Chum heavy and drop back small cut baits or silver
sides for a limit of tails. Grouper season is open
and you can find them on the reefs and structure.
Drop a big live pinfish or grunt to entice the
larger fish lurking below. Off Miami, it is meat fish season.
Kingfish and blackfin tuna have pushed in shallow with plenty
of action reported along the edge. Kingfish have been hitting
live pilchards slow trolled on wire rigs, and the black
fins are biting best during the early morning and late
afternoon hours, especially on live baits or vertical jigs. Expect
some bigger kings over thirty pounds if you put in
your time. Mahi mahi have started to show up further offshore,
so keep an eye out for floating debris and weed lines.
There is also a strong mutton snapper bite. These fish
are chewing well on live baits fished over patch reefs
and wrecks on the bottom. Amberjack are stacked on the
deep wrecks, willing to take big live blue runners back
and shore. The tarpin migration is heating up, with juvenile
fish already active and the big migrators expected to push
through any day. Early morning or dusk. With live mullet
or crabs is your best shot permit are around bridges
and flats, especially on the incoming tide. Try live crabs
are well presented. Shrimp for pickyfish. Hot spots for today
include the Channel five bridge for snapper and permit and
the Haulover Inlet or Government cut for kingfish, tuna, and
the occasional wahoo. Florida Bay's edges in any nearby Mangrove
Creek mouths are still holding snook. Best baits today are
live pilchards, pinfish, mullet or big shrimp. Top lures are
paddletail jigs for snook and tuna, vertical jigs offshore, and
bucktail jigs for grouper. That's the latest from the water
tight lines and I'll see you out there. And that
is it for today. Hit the subscribe button and never
miss out. Keep those tips up and lines wet. This
