Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,080
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,119
If you're heading out to fish in the Florida Keys

4
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,279
or Miami today, here's what you need to know. First off,

5
00:00:14,439 --> 00:00:17,039
the weather is looking a bit unpredictable due to the

6
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:20,160
peak hurricane season, so keep an eye on those tropical

7
00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:24,120
waves that could bring rain and rough seas. As of now,

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:26,719
it's partly cloudy with a high of around eighty eight

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,199
degrees and a gentle breeze. Sunrise today is at seven

10
00:00:30,359 --> 00:00:34,320
fourteen am and sunset will be at seven twenty three pm.

11
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,960
Tides are crucial, and today you're looking at a low

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,799
tide at nine forty four am and a high tide

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,679
at three thirty four pm. Yesterday saw some great action

14
00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:46,920
in the waters in the Florida Keys. Anglers were catching

15
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,520
a good number of Mahi mahi, especially around the colour

16
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,840
change where the greener water meets the blue. Kingfish and

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,880
wahoo were also active, particularly around schools of bait and

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:01,159
areas with bird diving activity in the backhime. Tree bonefish

19
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:04,040
and permit were feeding actively just off the flats and

20
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:06,840
in the channels with live crabs being the go to

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,519
bait for permit In Miami, there were reports of dolphin

22
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,120
and blackfintuna being caught in deeper waters around two hundred

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,040
to three hundred and fifty feet closer to shore. Bonita

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,400
tuna were plentiful in shallow waters, and barracudahs were biting

25
00:01:21,439 --> 00:01:25,359
well for lures. Using heavy surf rods with live bait

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,719
is a good strategy, especially along the mangrove shorelines where snook,

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,599
mangrove snapper, and jacks are abundant. Offshore trolling with surface

28
00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:37,400
baits at six to eight knots can yield mahi mahi,

29
00:01:37,719 --> 00:01:41,680
wahoo and kingfish. If you're targeting tuna, head out to

30
00:01:41,719 --> 00:01:46,000
the humps and use live pilchards. Hot spots include Hawk Channel,

31
00:01:46,159 --> 00:01:49,239
where you can find kobia following big rays and turtles,

32
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:52,079
and the reef areas where you can chase schools of bait.

33
00:01:52,519 --> 00:01:56,319
Along the shoreline, focus on areas with mangroves as these

34
00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,359
are attracting a lot of predatory fish. Remember the New

35
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Moon was just a few days ago, so the fishing

36
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,280
around this time should be excellent, especially from the first

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,080
to the fourth of the month with the full moon

38
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,639
approaching on the seventeenth, Expect very high tides and a

39
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,199
lot of current, making the sixteenth through the nineteenth great

40
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,039
days to fish. Stay safe and enjoy your time on

41
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,240
