Speaker 1: Hey there, anglers artificial Lure. Here with your Florida Keys
and Miami Fishing report for Saturday, May twenty fourth, twenty
twenty five. Folks. We're seeing some fantastic action on the
water to day. The weather has settled into that nice
summer pattern with lighter winds making for calmer seas than
what we had back in winter. This morning sunrise was
just before six thirty and we'll have light until about
eight p m. Giving you plenty of time on the water.
The tides are running about average today with a mid
morning high tide that's perfect for hitting the flats. The
water temperature is in the low eighties, which has really
kicked the bite into high gear. Let me tell you,
the meat fish are absolutely chomping right now. Black fin,
tuna and kingfish have pushed into shallow water and are
providing non stop action. Several charters reported kingfish in the
thirty plus pound range this past week, especially during early
morning and late evening runs. These toothy critters are explosive
on light tackle, so make sure you've got some wire leaders.
Handy Mutton snapper have been chewing on live bait and
since grouper season opened on May first, we're seeing some
nice catches from the wrecks along with amberjack. If you're
targeting bottom fish, this is your time to shine. The
reef is starting to heat up for mangrove and yellowtail
snapper too. We're also starting to see more mahai mahi
showing up, with occasional wahoo in the mix. For you
shark enthusiasts, the bite has been solid on big live baits.
A captain out of Key Largo just tagged and released
two bull sharks between four hundred to five hundred pounds
earlier this week. Best baits right now are pilchards and
threadfin herring if you can net 'em. For artificial, try
diamond jigs for the kingfish, and blue white or pink
white skirts for trolling. As for hot spots, Captain Ridge
Murphy recommends working the edge in one hundred twenty to
one hundred and eighty feet off Key Largo and the
rex Off Marathon have been productive for grouper and snapper.
For Miami anglers, the edge in one twenty to one
fifty feet has been the ticket for kingfish and tuna.
Remember if the pelagics aren't biting, don't hesitate to switch
it up and drop some live bait to the bottom.
The variety this time of year is what makes fishing
Florida in May so special. That's the word from the
water today, folks. This is artificial lure. Signing off tight
lines and see all at the dock with a cooler full.
