00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,040
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:10,279
Good morning from the beautiful Florida Keys. Today is April second,

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,400
twenty twenty five, and it's going to be a fantastic

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,640
day for fishing in the waters around the Keys and Miami.

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,239
Here's your detailed fishing report. The weather today features clear

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,960
skies with a temperature range of seventy five grees to

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,280
eighty two degrees. War Winds are light, coming out of

9
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,879
the east at about eight to twelve knots ideal conditions

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,359
for both inshore and offshore fishing. Sunrise is at seven

11
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,039
nine a m and sunset at seven forty p m,

12
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:42,399
giving anglers plenty of daylight for their fishing adventures. Low

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,320
tide occurs around eleven thirty a m, with a high

14
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,880
tide peaking around five fifty p m, creating excellent tidal

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,640
movement for fish activity later in the day. Tarpin season

16
00:00:52,679 --> 00:00:55,799
is in full swing and anglers are reporting large schools

17
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,600
of these silver giants ranging from sixty to two hundred pounds,

18
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:04,120
particularly around the backwaters near Islamrada and the flats on

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,239
the ocean side of the lower Keys. Look for them

20
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:10,760
near bridge structures or deeper channels as they migrate south.

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,359
The preferred bait for tarpin right now is live mullet

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,040
or pilchards, but artificial lures like the Doa bait buster

23
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,599
are also working. Wonders off shore, the deeper waters one

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,680
hundred one hundred fifty feet just beyond the reef are

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,239
holding some big mahi mahi dolphinfish. Schools of wahoo have

26
00:01:30,359 --> 00:01:34,319
also been spotted. Trolling ballyho or high speed lures like

27
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,120
vertical jigs has proven effective on the reef. Yellowtail snapper

28
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:41,519
are showing up in numbers and they're hitting on live

29
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:45,040
shrimp or cut bait like sardines. Use some chum to

30
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,159
bring them closer to your boat. On the flats, it's

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,760
a primetime for targeting bonefish and permit, especially west of

32
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Key Largo and around the Middle Keys. These fish are

33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,719
best approached with stealth. Live crabs and shrimp are the

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,640
go to baits, but flo live fishing enthusiasts have found

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:06,079
success using unweighted hogi lures or small crustacean like flies

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,759
for those staying closer to shore. Biscayne Bay is teeming

37
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,400
with snook and jack cravall in the Mangrove channels. Soft

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,719
plastics like paddle tail jigs such as the NLBN three

39
00:02:16,759 --> 00:02:20,639
inch are working. Magic ladyfish and trout are also active

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,199
and can be caught on top water lures early in

41
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,039
the morning. A couple of hotspots to highlight today include

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,719
the seven Mile Bridge, where snapper, grouper, and yellowjacks are

43
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:34,199
being caught consistently. Another good spot is Flamingo in the

44
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,879
Everglades where tarpin, redfish and snook are all active. Gear

45
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,639
up with soft plastics, doa shrimp or rapalla x rap

46
00:02:42,719 --> 00:02:45,759
lures and don't forget live shrimp or pilchards if you're

47
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:50,319
bait fishing. Today's conditions are perfect for a successful day,

48
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,080
So grab your rods and reels and hit the water

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,680
tight lines and we'll see you out there. And that
