00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,439
Speaker 1: Artificial lure here bringing you your local fishing report for

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:07,759
the Florida Keys and Miami area this fine Sunday, May eleventh,

3
00:00:07,919 --> 00:00:11,839
twenty twenty five. We're stepping into primetime fishing with early

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,399
summer weather settling in warm temps, lighter winds, and calmer seas,

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,239
making it comfortable to head off shore or work the

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,960
inshore flats. Sunrise hit at six thirty five am and

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,320
sunset will be about seven fifty seven pm, giving you

8
00:00:26,399 --> 00:00:30,039
plenty of daylight to get on the bite. Offshore around Miami,

9
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:35,439
kingfish and blackfin tuna have been bending rods consistently. Anglers

10
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,039
are hauling in a couple of kingfish per trip, with

11
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:41,280
some big boys tipping the scales at over thirty pounds

12
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,880
this week. Blackfinn are solid, and a few Mahi mahai

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,960
are starting to show up, particularly during the early morning

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,359
and late evening. Don't forget those wire leaders. There's the

15
00:00:52,399 --> 00:00:55,399
occasional wahoo making a run and they'll chew through mono

16
00:00:55,439 --> 00:00:59,560
in a flash. For pelagics. Top lure choices are blue

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,040
white feathers, small trolling plugs, and live pilchards or goggle

18
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,200
eyes if you can find them kite fishing remains a

19
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,760
killer technique for sailfish, which are still around if you

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,599
want to try your luck. Bottom fishing is really heating

21
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,879
up now that grouper season open May first. The reefs

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,480
and wrecks are producing nice grouper, amberjack and a few

23
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,840
mutton Snapper. Action should only get better as we move

24
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,159
through May. If you're working the bottom, go with live

25
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:31,359
pinfish or ballyhoo and bring some squid for the snapper.

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,480
Drop down a chicken rig with cut bait over the

27
00:01:34,519 --> 00:01:38,840
wrecks or structure for your best shot. Down in the keys,

28
00:01:39,159 --> 00:01:42,319
the tarpin bite is going off, especially at the bridges

29
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:45,840
and channels at dawn and dusk. Expect anglers to hook

30
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,480
into several tarpin each trip, and juvenile tarpin are still

31
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:53,239
steady in the back country. Permit are moving well on

32
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,079
the flats, and backcountry action remains strong, with snook and

33
00:01:57,159 --> 00:02:02,159
redfish making steady appearances. Five live crabs or pinfish are

34
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,519
the ticket for tarpin, while small live shrimp and soft

35
00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:09,199
plastic lures work well for permit. The tides are running

36
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,360
high with the full moon just past, so expect strong

37
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:16,360
currents around the bridges and reef edges perfect for predator action.

38
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:20,159
Hot spots to try this week head off shore from

39
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Government Cut for kingfish and black fin or fish, the

40
00:02:23,199 --> 00:02:27,280
legendary seven Mile Bridge or Bahia Honda for tarpan. The

41
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,000
reefs off Key Largo are a good bet for grouper

42
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:33,840
and snapper. In summary, the fish are biting, the weather's

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,439
right and the waters inviting. Grab those live baits or

44
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,719
your favorite lures and get after it. The Florida Keys

45
00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:43,599
in Miami are wide open for action right now. Tight

46
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,639
lines and see you on the water. And that is
