00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Artificial lure. Here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,039
report for Friday, September nineteenth, twenty twenty five. We woke

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,480
up to calm, warm conditions this morning, with air temps

4
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,800
right around eighty degrees and only a slight breeze ruffling

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,120
the water. Perfect for a day on the salt. Let's

6
00:00:18,199 --> 00:00:22,280
break down the tides. Starting in Miami, according to tide forecast,

7
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:24,879
we had a low tide at one fifty one am

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,879
and the first high tide smacked in at seven fifty

9
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,480
four am, bringing in a solid two point six nine feet.

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,280
Around two thirteen PM, expect another low at zero point

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,039
three four feet. Then evening anglers can target the second

12
00:00:40,079 --> 00:00:43,320
high tide at eight twenty one pm with a bump

13
00:00:43,399 --> 00:00:46,840
to two point seven four feet. Sunrise was at seven

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240
zero eight am, sunset is at seven to twenty pm.

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,200
Down in Conch Key, you saw similar patterns with a

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,479
high tide at seven fifty seven am one point nine

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,079
four feet and another crest at eight forty three pm

18
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:04,560
one point five to two feet. Key West high tides

19
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:08,120
line up at nine zero six am and nine fifty

20
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:12,560
two pm. That means the bike turns on mid morning

21
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:18,560
and again near dusk classic Florida fishing windows. Weatherwise, the

22
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:23,239
forecast remains consistent with late summer heat, mainly clear skies,

23
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,680
and just a chance of scattered afternoon showers typical for

24
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,200
the region that'll keep water clarity good and fish on

25
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,040
the hunt. Near ref edges and flats, fish activity has

26
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:39,799
been heating up. Snapper, especially yellowtail and mangrove, are showing

27
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,120
in excellent numbers from Miami Cut down to Islamorada. Local

28
00:01:44,159 --> 00:01:48,200
guides in Florida Insider Fishing Report note catches of respectable

29
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,719
snapper up to twenty fish per boat, with legal mangrove

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,920
and flag yellowtail mixed in. Plenty of lane snapper, brunt

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,319
and the occasional mutton reported out deeper inshore along Biscayne Bay.

32
00:02:00,719 --> 00:02:04,519
Snooker bustin' mullet at dawn on the incoming tide. Tarpin

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560
continue to roll near bridges at first light, with a

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,199
few fish breaking the eighty pound mark. Bonefish action remains

35
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:14,479
steady off Miami Beach and Upper Keys Flats, mostly in

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,520
the two to five pound range, best in early morning

37
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:20,280
before the sun gets high. Out in the blue water

38
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:24,719
Doff and my Ma are moving just past the reef line. Yesterday,

39
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,960
a handful of boats landed six to ten fish apiece

40
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,479
in the eight to twelve pound class, mostly on trolled

41
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:35,719
ballyhoo or skirts permit our cruisin' wrecks between Key Largo

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,719
and Duck Key, with some hefty fish reported. Bring crabs

43
00:02:39,759 --> 00:02:42,960
if you're targeting these brutes. Hot lures and bait For

44
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,599
yellowtail chum heavy and use small live pilchards or silver sides.

45
00:02:48,199 --> 00:02:52,120
Locals swear by one six ounce pink or Chartreu's jigheads

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,439
tipped with shrimp, especially when the current runs hard at

47
00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:59,479
peep tides. Snook are hitting white paddle tail, soft plastics,

48
00:02:59,759 --> 00:03:04,400
de bait busters and live mullet. For bonefish, the go

49
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,560
to remains live shrimp or pink gotcha jigs fished slow

50
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,080
on the edge of the flats. Offshore. Skirted ballely who

51
00:03:12,599 --> 00:03:15,840
or pink and blue trolling lures are nailing mahi. If

52
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,240
you're after blackfintuna near the humps, try dark feathers and

53
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,360
vertical jigs. A couple of proven hotspots Government cut and

54
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:26,919
haulover Inlet in Miami for snook and tarpin on the

55
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,439
morning flood tide. The bridges near Islamarrada, especially Channel five

56
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,000
and Long Key, are producing good snapper, sea trout and

57
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:39,240
the occasional snook. For bonefish, hit the flats around Biscayn

58
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,280
National Park or lower Metecham. Look for hard sand mix

59
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,639
with turtle grass. Remember, keep an eye on the tide

60
00:03:46,639 --> 00:03:50,479
swings to optimize your bite, and always respect the harvest limits.

61
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,719
Keepers are running pretty thick, but let the small ones

62
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,919
go to grow. Thanks for tuning in to today's Florida
