Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
Hey there, anglers artificial Lure. Here with your Florida Keys
and Miami fishing report for Saturday, May third, twenty twenty five.
The early bird gets the fish today, folks. We're looking
at sunrise around six forty five am with sunset expected
near seven fifty pm, giving you plenty of daylight hours
on the water. Weathers cooperating nicely with moderate winds and
comfortable temperatures, perfect for a day of fishing. Florida Bay
is absolutely on fire right now, with snook being the
main attraction. Captain Ridge Murphy confirmed this just a couple
days ago, so if you're looking to hook into some
quality snook head that way. Offshore action is solid too,
with yellowtail snappers biting well in sixty to ninety feet
of water. They've been particularly active during the incoming tide,
which peaks mid morning today. Despite some high winds earlier
this week, captains have been finding calm pockets holding plenty
of fish. The patch reefs are loaded with big lane
snappers and yellowtails, according to recent reports. Several charter captains
out of Key West and Marathon have been bringing in
impressive catches consistently over the past few weeks. For those
heading to the lower Keys, inshore fishing has been productive,
with redfish and tarpain making strong showings. Captain Jeffrey Page,
who works the waters from Tampa Bay down to Charlotte Harbor,
suggests light tackle for the flats fishing that's heating up.
As for bait and tackle, live shrimp and pilchards are
working wonders for the inshore crowd. If you're targeting those
yellowtails offshore, cut bait and chum are your best friends.
For artificial enthusiasts like myself, soft plastic jerkbaits in white
or chartruse have been getting attention from the snook population.
Hotspots to check out today Florida Bay for the snook bite,
the patch reefs off Marathon for mixed snappers, and if
you're feeling adventurous, the deeper waters sixty to ninety feet
for those yellow tails. The channels around Big Pine Key
have also been producing nicely. According to local guides. Remember
the tides are running about an hour later than yesterday,
so plan accordingly. We've got an incoming tide through mid morning,
with the outgoing in the afternoon. Captain Jeff Hageman, who
works the waters from Tarpin Springs to Boca Grande, notes
that tarpin are starting to show up in good numbers
along the beaches and in Boca Grande Pass. That's something
to keep an eye on if you're looking for a
trophy fight. That's the scoop for today, folks. Whether you're
