Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
As we head into the last weekend of September in
the Florida Keys. In Miami, the fishing scene is buzzing
with activity. Here's what you need to know for today,
September twenty eighth. Weather and tides. The weather is a
mix of sun and clouds with a high chance of
scattered thunderstorms, a common occurrence during this peak hurricane season.
Air temperatures are hovering around the lower eighties with mild
breezes that are typical for this time of year. Tides
are significant with the new moon just passing on the
second and now we're approaching the full moon on the seventeenth. Today,
expect high tides around eight thirty am and nine pm
and low tides at two thirty p m and three am.
Hashtage sunrise and sunset. Sunrise is at seven fourteen am
and sunset will be at seven twenty four pm, giving
you ample daylight to get out on the water. Fish
activity yesterday saw a lot of action across various fishing
grounds offshore. Mahi mahi were plentiful, particularly around the two
hundred to three hundred foot marks. Captain Joel from Anna
Banana Fishing Charters reported catching several mahi in the two
hundred to three hundred foot range just a few days ago. Inshore,
the yellowtail snapper bite on the reef has been excellent,
with the best quality catches coming from depths of around
ninety feet. Mangrove snappers are also active in the back country,
responding well to live pinfish and balao. Tarpinfishing is picking up,
especially in residential canals where juvenile tarpin are following. Schools
of pilchards, bonefish, and permit are active in the flats
and channels, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon.
Best lures in bait for offshore fishing look for birds
and organized weed lines to find mahi, mahi and wahoo.
Using live baits such as pilchards and fish is crucial
when trolling. Surface baits at six to eight knots can
attract mahi, wahoo and mackerel. For deeper waters, live bait
and chumming can attract tuna and other larger species. Inshore,
live pinfish, balao and crabs are the go to baits
for mangrove snappers, tarpan and permit for bonefish. Live crabs
skipped along the surface can be very effective. This area
is known for its abundant bait schools and bird activity,
making it a hotspot for Mahi, mahi, wahoo and other
offshore species and sand flats these areas are great for
catching yellowtail and mangrove snappers. Use long leaders and live
bait to attract these species. Overall. September is a transitional
month but offers phenomenal fishing opportunities across the Florida Keys
in Miami. Keep an eye on the weather and you'll
be reeling in some great catches. And that is it
for today. Hit the subscribe button and never miss out.
