1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,640 Speaker 1: Hey there, anglers artificial Lure. Here with your Florida Keys 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,719 and Miami Fishing report for Saturday, May twenty fourth, twenty 3 00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:12,080 twenty five. Folks. We're seeing some fantastic action on the 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,160 water to day. The weather has settled into that nice 5 00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,480 summer pattern with lighter winds making for calmer seas than 6 00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:21,839 what we had back in winter. This morning sunrise was 7 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,079 just before six thirty and we'll have light until about 8 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,839 eight p m. Giving you plenty of time on the water. 9 00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:31,760 The tides are running about average today with a mid 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,439 morning high tide that's perfect for hitting the flats. The 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,479 water temperature is in the low eighties, which has really 12 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,600 kicked the bite into high gear. Let me tell you, 13 00:00:41,799 --> 00:00:46,000 the meat fish are absolutely chomping right now. Black fin, 14 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,280 tuna and kingfish have pushed into shallow water and are 15 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,119 providing non stop action. Several charters reported kingfish in the 16 00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:57,759 thirty plus pound range this past week, especially during early 17 00:00:57,799 --> 00:01:02,240 morning and late evening runs. These toothy critters are explosive 18 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,439 on light tackle, so make sure you've got some wire leaders. 19 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,200 Handy Mutton snapper have been chewing on live bait and 20 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,439 since grouper season opened on May first, we're seeing some 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,480 nice catches from the wrecks along with amberjack. If you're 22 00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:20,200 targeting bottom fish, this is your time to shine. The 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,959 reef is starting to heat up for mangrove and yellowtail 24 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000 snapper too. We're also starting to see more mahai mahi 25 00:01:27,079 --> 00:01:30,680 showing up, with occasional wahoo in the mix. For you 26 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,560 shark enthusiasts, the bite has been solid on big live baits. 27 00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,879 A captain out of Key Largo just tagged and released 28 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,200 two bull sharks between four hundred to five hundred pounds 29 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:44,640 earlier this week. Best baits right now are pilchards and 30 00:01:44,719 --> 00:01:48,680 threadfin herring if you can net 'em. For artificial, try 31 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,680 diamond jigs for the kingfish, and blue white or pink 32 00:01:51,719 --> 00:01:55,760 white skirts for trolling. As for hot spots, Captain Ridge 33 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,920 Murphy recommends working the edge in one hundred twenty to 34 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:01,760 one hundred and eighty feet off Key Largo and the 35 00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:05,120 rex Off Marathon have been productive for grouper and snapper. 36 00:02:05,719 --> 00:02:08,240 For Miami anglers, the edge in one twenty to one 37 00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:11,280 fifty feet has been the ticket for kingfish and tuna. 38 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,080 Remember if the pelagics aren't biting, don't hesitate to switch 39 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,680 it up and drop some live bait to the bottom. 40 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,560 The variety this time of year is what makes fishing 41 00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,479 Florida in May so special.
