Speaker 1: Artificial lore. Here with your Florida Keys and Miami Fishing
report for Sunday, October twelfth, twenty twenty five lines in
early today saw the kind of morning every angler dreams about.
At seven twenty three am, sunrise cracked over the clear
blue with sunset set for seven zero two pm. We're
riding mostly calm fall weather, slightly cooler tempts in the morning,
and a touch of humidity hanging in the air. Prime
conditions to get after it before the real heat kicks
in later. Tidal movement's been steady. We started with a
high tide at one thirty nine am around Key West,
dropped to a low at eight forty six am, then
the flow swinging up again for a three forty nine
pm high and settles to the next low at seven
thirty pm. Classic October rhythm. Miami's Biscayny Bay is running
similar with a big push late afternoon. These tides turn
the flats on, especially when paired with that steady east
wind we're getting off the Atlantic, putting the feedback on
for everything from bonefish to snapper. According to the charts
at Noah and Tides for fishing this week, action's been brisk,
especially around islam Rata through the middle Keys. The boys
at WPLG and the Florida Insider Fishing Report are talking
about bent rods from dust to dawn. Mangrove snapper are
thick on the reefs and back country channels. Folks using
fresh cut pilchards, shrimp and pinfish have been hauling in
limits of mangroves, some pushing two pounds out on the flats.
Those snapper are as aggressive as ever. If you've got
a handful of fresh pilchards your set. YouTube's been blowing
up with local crews pulling big mangroves on chunk bait.
Just remember to anchor uptide and chunk offshore. Dolphin Madhi
mayi and some blackfintuna have been making appearances along the
edge of the Gulf Stream, especially near the humps. Islamorada
Hump and Marathon Hump are the hot numbers right now.
Skippers running out with live pilchards and small vertical jigs
have had the best luck. If you hit the weed
lines out past five hundred feet, you're gonna find some
gaffers and peanut sized dolphin pushing through artificial poppers. And
shiny trolling feathers have been hot when worked quickly behind
the boat back on the bridges and deep channels, especially
seven Mile Bridge and Channel five. The tarpin have been
rolling at night with good numbers on live mullet free
lined on moving water. Snap a live crab if you
hit it toward the outgoing tide, we're drift swin baits
like the doa bait buster. Locals know this is when
the big boys show up. Daytime. The pilchard swarms are
in grab a net and you're in business for snooking
big jacks all along the pilings, especially closer to Miami's
Haulover Inlet and Government Cut. A reliable spot north of
there is the broad Causeway. Live pinfish under a float
is the ticket for lower fans. Toss silver spoons and
bucktail jigs in the early light along Mangrove edges and
patch reefs. Go off plastics and root beer and chartreuse
have been picking up quality trout and the occasional redfish
in the grass flats up towards Biscayne Day and Blackpoint.
Best baits this week live pilchered cut pinfish, shrimp and
crab top lures white bucktail one fourth ounce yozii, crystal
minnows and skiter walks for early surface action. A couple
hot spots to circle Isla, Morada's Whale Harbor channel, especially
at the top of the incoming tide, and Alligator Reef
for non stop snapper and the odd grouper. Closer to Miami,
Soldier Key and Stiltsfield Flats are holding big bonefish and
snapper when the current is right. Thanks for tuning in
