00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,839
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:10,720
Hey there, anglers artificial Lure. Here with your Florida Keys

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,160
and Miami fishing report for Saturday, May third, twenty twenty five.

5
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:18,559
The early bird gets the fish today, folks. We're looking

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,280
at sunrise around six forty five am with sunset expected

7
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,399
near seven fifty pm, giving you plenty of daylight hours

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,399
on the water. Weathers cooperating nicely with moderate winds and

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,640
comfortable temperatures, perfect for a day of fishing. Florida Bay

10
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:36,920
is absolutely on fire right now, with snook being the

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,280
main attraction. Captain Ridge Murphy confirmed this just a couple

12
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,679
days ago, so if you're looking to hook into some

13
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:48,759
quality snook head that way. Offshore action is solid too,

14
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:52,079
with yellowtail snappers biting well in sixty to ninety feet

15
00:00:52,079 --> 00:00:56,200
of water. They've been particularly active during the incoming tide,

16
00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:01,240
which peaks mid morning today. Despite some high winds earlier

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,760
this week, captains have been finding calm pockets holding plenty

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,200
of fish. The patch reefs are loaded with big lane

19
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:13,680
snappers and yellowtails, according to recent reports. Several charter captains

20
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,480
out of Key West and Marathon have been bringing in

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,319
impressive catches consistently over the past few weeks. For those

22
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:24,560
heading to the lower Keys, inshore fishing has been productive,

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,680
with redfish and tarpain making strong showings. Captain Jeffrey Page,

24
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,079
who works the waters from Tampa Bay down to Charlotte Harbor,

25
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,680
suggests light tackle for the flats fishing that's heating up.

26
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,920
As for bait and tackle, live shrimp and pilchards are

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,799
working wonders for the inshore crowd. If you're targeting those

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,599
yellowtails offshore, cut bait and chum are your best friends.

29
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:53,439
For artificial enthusiasts like myself, soft plastic jerkbaits in white

30
00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:57,079
or chartruse have been getting attention from the snook population.

31
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:02,239
Hotspots to check out today Florida Bay for the snook bite,

32
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:05,879
the patch reefs off Marathon for mixed snappers, and if

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,840
you're feeling adventurous, the deeper waters sixty to ninety feet

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,479
for those yellow tails. The channels around Big Pine Key

35
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,759
have also been producing nicely. According to local guides. Remember

36
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,759
the tides are running about an hour later than yesterday,

37
00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:25,319
so plan accordingly. We've got an incoming tide through mid morning,

38
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,759
with the outgoing in the afternoon. Captain Jeff Hageman, who

39
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,400
works the waters from Tarpin Springs to Boca Grande, notes

40
00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,360
that tarpin are starting to show up in good numbers

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,520
along the beaches and in Boca Grande Pass. That's something

42
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,400
to keep an eye on if you're looking for a

43
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:46,439
