Speaker 1: Artificial lure here bringing you your local fishing report for
the Florida Keys and Miami area this fine Sunday, May eleventh,
twenty twenty five. We're stepping into primetime fishing with early
summer weather settling in warm temps, lighter winds, and calmer seas,
making it comfortable to head off shore or work the
inshore flats. Sunrise hit at six thirty five am and
sunset will be about seven fifty seven pm, giving you
plenty of daylight to get on the bite. Offshore around Miami,
kingfish and blackfin tuna have been bending rods consistently. Anglers
are hauling in a couple of kingfish per trip, with
some big boys tipping the scales at over thirty pounds
this week. Blackfinn are solid, and a few Mahi mahai
are starting to show up, particularly during the early morning
and late evening. Don't forget those wire leaders. There's the
occasional wahoo making a run and they'll chew through mono
in a flash. For pelagics. Top lure choices are blue
white feathers, small trolling plugs, and live pilchards or goggle
eyes if you can find them kite fishing remains a
killer technique for sailfish, which are still around if you
want to try your luck. Bottom fishing is really heating
up now that grouper season open May first. The reefs
and wrecks are producing nice grouper, amberjack and a few
mutton Snapper. Action should only get better as we move
through May. If you're working the bottom, go with live
pinfish or ballyhoo and bring some squid for the snapper.
Drop down a chicken rig with cut bait over the
wrecks or structure for your best shot. Down in the keys,
the tarpin bite is going off, especially at the bridges
and channels at dawn and dusk. Expect anglers to hook
into several tarpin each trip, and juvenile tarpin are still
steady in the back country. Permit are moving well on
the flats, and backcountry action remains strong, with snook and
redfish making steady appearances. Five live crabs or pinfish are
the ticket for tarpin, while small live shrimp and soft
plastic lures work well for permit. The tides are running
high with the full moon just past, so expect strong
currents around the bridges and reef edges perfect for predator action.
Hot spots to try this week head off shore from
Government Cut for kingfish and black fin or fish, the
legendary seven Mile Bridge or Bahia Honda for tarpan. The
reefs off Key Largo are a good bet for grouper
and snapper. In summary, the fish are biting, the weather's
right and the waters inviting. Grab those live baits or
your favorite lures and get after it. The Florida Keys
in Miami are wide open for action right now. Tight
lines and see you on the water. And that is
it for to day. Hit the subscribe button and never
miss out. Keep those tips up and lines wet. This
