00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,280
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,080
Good morning from the stunning waters of the Florida Keys

4
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:15,039
and Miami this Monday, April fourteenth, twenty twenty five. Anglers,

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,600
the day ahead offers fantastic opportunities for going after some

6
00:00:18,679 --> 00:00:21,879
of the most prized catches in South Florida. The weather

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,760
is looking prime for fishing, with calm winds this morning,

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,440
building to a light breeze through the afternoon. Sunrise was

9
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,199
at seven o four am and sunset will grace the

10
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:34,240
horizon at seven forty eight pm, giving you plenty of

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,600
daylight hours to make the most of your fishing. Tides

12
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,479
for the content Keys today show a favorable pattern high

13
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,560
tides at two twenty eight am and one fifty two

14
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,600
pm and low tides at eight thirty two am and

15
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:49,719
nine thirty pm. Plan your fishing between the changing tides

16
00:00:49,799 --> 00:00:53,439
for the best bite. Recent catches in the region have

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,640
been impressive. April is peaked tarpin season and these majestic

18
00:00:57,719 --> 00:01:00,600
fish are stacking up in deeper waters throughout the Keys.

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,560
Offshore Mahi Mahi dolphinfish are making waves, especially around the

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,040
one hundred to one hundred and fifty feet depth range,

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,200
with some large specimens showing up. Wahoo have also been active,

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,200
particularly around reef structures on the flats. Bonefish are abundant

23
00:01:17,239 --> 00:01:20,480
from Islamorada down to the lower Keys ocean side flats,

24
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:24,480
providing excellent opportunities for those targeting them with fly rods

25
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:28,319
or light spinning gear. For bait and lures, local favorites

26
00:01:28,359 --> 00:01:32,519
are performing well. Soft plastics like doa shrimp, paddle tail

27
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:36,000
jigs and hogi lures are excellent for flat species such

28
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,120
as bonefish and permit. Live bait shrimp, crabs, pilchards and

29
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:46,439
mullet remains highly effective, especially for targeting tarpin, snook and barracuda. Offshore,

30
00:01:46,599 --> 00:01:50,200
Vertical jigs and brightly colored trolling lures are the key

31
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,079
to attracting mahe and wahoo, while the ever reliable three

32
00:01:54,159 --> 00:01:57,680
inch nlbn paddle tail lure is also proving its worth

33
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,079
in deeper channels and near bridges. If you're looking for

34
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,159
hot spots to day, consider hitting the seven mile Bridge,

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,080
a perennial favorite for snapper, grouper and yellowjack. The Islamorada

36
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,879
flats are ideal for bonefish and permit action, while offshore

37
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:15,520
anglers should head to deeper reefs or beyond the one

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,680
hundred feet mark for mahi mahi and wahoo encounters. The

39
00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:22,840
Content Keys area is also perfect for a mix of

40
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:28,199
inshore action and back country exploration. In summary, with favorable weather,

41
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,439
active fish, and a promising tide schedule, to day is

42
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:34,680
