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

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,240
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,560
As we head into the last weekend of September in

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,679
the Florida Keys. In Miami, the fishing scene is buzzing

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,519
with activity. Here's what you need to know for today,

6
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:21,679
September twenty eighth. Weather and tides. The weather is a

7
00:00:21,719 --> 00:00:24,039
mix of sun and clouds with a high chance of

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,280
scattered thunderstorms, a common occurrence during this peak hurricane season.

9
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:32,200
Air temperatures are hovering around the lower eighties with mild

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,560
breezes that are typical for this time of year. Tides

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,159
are significant with the new moon just passing on the

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:42,560
second and now we're approaching the full moon on the seventeenth. Today,

13
00:00:42,759 --> 00:00:46,079
expect high tides around eight thirty am and nine pm

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,719
and low tides at two thirty p m and three am.

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:54,759
Hashtage sunrise and sunset. Sunrise is at seven fourteen am

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,600
and sunset will be at seven twenty four pm, giving

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,759
you ample daylight to get out on the water. Fish

18
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,640
activity yesterday saw a lot of action across various fishing

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,920
grounds offshore. Mahi mahi were plentiful, particularly around the two

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,159
hundred to three hundred foot marks. Captain Joel from Anna

21
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:17,319
Banana Fishing Charters reported catching several mahi in the two

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,200
hundred to three hundred foot range just a few days ago. Inshore,

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,280
the yellowtail snapper bite on the reef has been excellent,

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,599
with the best quality catches coming from depths of around

25
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,959
ninety feet. Mangrove snappers are also active in the back country,

26
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,879
responding well to live pinfish and balao. Tarpinfishing is picking up,

27
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:41,359
especially in residential canals where juvenile tarpin are following. Schools

28
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:44,879
of pilchards, bonefish, and permit are active in the flats

29
00:01:44,879 --> 00:01:48,560
and channels, particularly during the early morning and late afternoon.

30
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Best lures in bait for offshore fishing look for birds

31
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,000
and organized weed lines to find mahi, mahi and wahoo.

32
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,000
Using live baits such as pilchards and fish is crucial

33
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:04,400
when trolling. Surface baits at six to eight knots can

34
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:08,599
attract mahi, wahoo and mackerel. For deeper waters, live bait

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,599
and chumming can attract tuna and other larger species. Inshore,

36
00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:15,520
live pinfish, balao and crabs are the go to baits

37
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,000
for mangrove snappers, tarpan and permit for bonefish. Live crabs

38
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,159
skipped along the surface can be very effective. This area

39
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,080
is known for its abundant bait schools and bird activity,

40
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,800
making it a hotspot for Mahi, mahi, wahoo and other

41
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:34,400
offshore species and sand flats these areas are great for

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,439
catching yellowtail and mangrove snappers. Use long leaders and live

43
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:43,000
bait to attract these species. Overall. September is a transitional

44
00:02:43,039 --> 00:02:46,840
month but offers phenomenal fishing opportunities across the Florida Keys

45
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:49,560
in Miami. Keep an eye on the weather and you'll

46
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:53,000
be reeling in some great catches. And that is it
