00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:06,759
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,639 --> 00:00:11,320
Good morning, anglers, artificial lure. Here with your midweek fishing

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,839
report for the Florida Keys in Miami area dated May seventh,

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,039
twenty twenty five. We are kicking off May in classic

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,600
Keys in Miami fashion with warm weather, light winds, and

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,120
calmer seas than we saw over the winter. Sunrise this

8
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:27,519
morning was at six thirty eight a m. And you

9
00:00:27,559 --> 00:00:31,760
can expect sunset around seven fifty three pm. Tides today

10
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,799
are running moderate, with a high tide peaking mid morning

11
00:00:35,079 --> 00:00:38,159
and an outgoing tide through the afternoon, setting the stage

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,159
for some prime bites inshore and offshore. In Florida Bay,

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,399
the snook action is still on fire. Anglers are reporting

14
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:50,799
steady hookups, especially around mangroves and creek mouths. Soft plastics,

15
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:54,439
paddle tails and live pilchards have been the ticket. Move

16
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:56,960
out a little deeper, and the yellowtail snapper bite is

17
00:00:57,039 --> 00:01:01,359
strong in sixty to ninety feet anchor up on the reef.

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,640
Chum heavy and drop back small cut baits or silver

19
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:08,040
sides for a limit of tails. Grouper season is open

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,480
and you can find them on the reefs and structure.

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,959
Drop a big live pinfish or grunt to entice the

22
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,799
larger fish lurking below. Off Miami, it is meat fish season.

23
00:01:19,359 --> 00:01:22,680
Kingfish and blackfin tuna have pushed in shallow with plenty

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,640
of action reported along the edge. Kingfish have been hitting

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,040
live pilchards slow trolled on wire rigs, and the black

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,120
fins are biting best during the early morning and late

27
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:37,680
afternoon hours, especially on live baits or vertical jigs. Expect

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,640
some bigger kings over thirty pounds if you put in

29
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,920
your time. Mahi mahi have started to show up further offshore,

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,799
so keep an eye out for floating debris and weed lines.

31
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,719
There is also a strong mutton snapper bite. These fish

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,799
are chewing well on live baits fished over patch reefs

33
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,120
and wrecks on the bottom. Amberjack are stacked on the

34
00:01:59,159 --> 00:02:03,079
deep wrecks, willing to take big live blue runners back

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,480
and shore. The tarpin migration is heating up, with juvenile

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,719
fish already active and the big migrators expected to push

37
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:13,280
through any day. Early morning or dusk. With live mullet

38
00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:17,080
or crabs is your best shot permit are around bridges

39
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,080
and flats, especially on the incoming tide. Try live crabs

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,120
are well presented. Shrimp for pickyfish. Hot spots for today

41
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,400
include the Channel five bridge for snapper and permit and

42
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:31,759
the Haulover Inlet or Government cut for kingfish, tuna, and

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,199
the occasional wahoo. Florida Bay's edges in any nearby Mangrove

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,639
Creek mouths are still holding snook. Best baits today are

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,080
live pilchards, pinfish, mullet or big shrimp. Top lures are

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,879
paddletail jigs for snook and tuna, vertical jigs offshore, and

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,159
bucktail jigs for grouper. That's the latest from the water

48
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,560
tight lines and I'll see you out there. And that

49
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,479
