Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
If you're heading out to fish in the Florida Keys
or Miami today, here's what you need to know. First off,
the weather is looking a bit unpredictable due to the
peak hurricane season, so keep an eye on those tropical
waves that could bring rain and rough seas. As of now,
it's partly cloudy with a high of around eighty eight
degrees and a gentle breeze. Sunrise today is at seven
fourteen am and sunset will be at seven twenty three pm.
Tides are crucial, and today you're looking at a low
tide at nine forty four am and a high tide
at three thirty four pm. Yesterday saw some great action
in the waters in the Florida Keys. Anglers were catching
a good number of Mahi mahi, especially around the colour
change where the greener water meets the blue. Kingfish and
wahoo were also active, particularly around schools of bait and
areas with bird diving activity in the backhime. Tree bonefish
and permit were feeding actively just off the flats and
in the channels with live crabs being the go to
bait for permit In Miami, there were reports of dolphin
and blackfintuna being caught in deeper waters around two hundred
to three hundred and fifty feet closer to shore. Bonita
tuna were plentiful in shallow waters, and barracudahs were biting
well for lures. Using heavy surf rods with live bait
is a good strategy, especially along the mangrove shorelines where snook,
mangrove snapper, and jacks are abundant. Offshore trolling with surface
baits at six to eight knots can yield mahi mahi,
wahoo and kingfish. If you're targeting tuna, head out to
the humps and use live pilchards. Hot spots include Hawk Channel,
where you can find kobia following big rays and turtles,
and the reef areas where you can chase schools of bait.
Along the shoreline, focus on areas with mangroves as these
are attracting a lot of predatory fish. Remember the New
Moon was just a few days ago, so the fishing
around this time should be excellent, especially from the first
to the fourth of the month with the full moon
approaching on the seventeenth, Expect very high tides and a
lot of current, making the sixteenth through the nineteenth great
days to fish. Stay safe and enjoy your time on
the water. And that is it for today. Hit the
