00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,919
Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers. This is artificial war with your Ford

2
00:00:02,919 --> 00:00:06,200
to Keys and Miami Fishing Report for Saturday, August thirty

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,240
of twenty twenty five. Sun popped up at seven oh

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,640
seven am, and she'll dip below the horizon tonight round

5
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:16,199
seven forty seven pm, giving us just under thirteen hours

6
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:19,879
of daylight, plenty of time to chase those bites. The

7
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:22,640
moon's on the rise at one thirty five PM. Worth

8
00:00:22,679 --> 00:00:25,879
keeping in mind for those late afternoon runs. The tides

9
00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:29,879
aren't running hard today. Low tidal coefficients mean gentler movement.

10
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,479
Your highs at Key West hit at two twenty eight

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,679
am one point eight six feet and again at three

12
00:00:35,799 --> 00:00:39,359
thirty six pm one point zero nine feet, while lows

13
00:00:39,399 --> 00:00:42,159
were at nine forty one am. That means the water

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,439
is not flushing as aggressively, so fish aren't being pushed

15
00:00:45,439 --> 00:00:53,759
deep or scattered as much. With sluggish tides, focus efforts

16
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:57,119
around structures and deeper channels. Fish stay put when the

17
00:00:57,159 --> 00:01:01,159
current's slow, According to Tides four Fish and tied forecast

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,920
dot com Weather's classic late August Keys humid early high's

19
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,560
pushing mid eighties, but a breeze out of the southeast

20
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:12,280
will keep bugs down with no major storms around, visibilities

21
00:01:12,359 --> 00:01:14,920
up and water clarity will be solid. For sight casting,

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,480
look for brief morning cloud cover. Afternoon heat could test

23
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,480
your patients, so hydrate and wear that sunshield. Recent catches

24
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:27,079
have been solid offshore summer dolphin mahi mahi action continues,

25
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:31,159
especially out past the homps. Most boats trolling feathers, rig

26
00:01:31,239 --> 00:01:34,719
ballyhoo and pink orcharuzse skirted jigs have been picking up

27
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:38,239
schoolies with some gaffers in the mix. Black fentuna are

28
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:41,920
trickling through best around first light with live pilchards or

29
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,879
small vertical jigs on the reefs and wrecks. Yellowtail snapper

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,159
reports are dependable. Chum hard, downsize your floral leaders and

31
00:01:50,239 --> 00:01:54,000
tip small hooks with cut shrimp or silver sides. Mangrove

32
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,239
snapper are thick along the inshore patch reefs at sunrise

33
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,719
and dusk, taking fresh bait or soft plaid sticks bounced

34
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,239
near the bottom. That country is alive with tarpon rolling

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,799
at sunrise and sunset. Near channels and bridges. Try live

36
00:02:07,879 --> 00:02:10,879
crabs or mullet or toss swim baits and glow or

37
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:14,719
bone colors. When the current slackens snook and sea trout

38
00:02:14,719 --> 00:02:17,599
are still active around grass beds and mangrove points and

39
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,680
biscuit and e bay and card sound. Doa shrimp and

40
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:23,960
root beer paddle tails are best for artificials, while live

41
00:02:24,039 --> 00:02:28,280
shrimp under a popping cork gets quick eats hotspots. Today

42
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,240
seven mile bridge edges are producing solid tarpin and mangrove

43
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:36,360
action during slack tide. Tennessee wreath is kicking up yellowtail

44
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,680
and some mutt and snapper on weighted cutbait rates out

45
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,479
of Miami. Featherbed basin and safety valve channels are reliable

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,479
for snoke, trout, and mixed bag with both live and

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:52,400
artificial bait. Best baits offshore rig ballyhou or squid strips

48
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,439
for dolphin, live pilchards and small jigs for black fin,

49
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,879
reef cut shrimp, fresh ballyhu and silversides for the snapper family.

50
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,280
Inshore live shrimp, finger mullet or root beer paddle tails

51
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,800
and doa shad tails for snook and trout. Best lores,

52
00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:13,599
chartreuse bucktails, pilcher patterned swim baits, glow or bone colored

53
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,599
jigs for bridges and backcountry in pink, blue or shartreuse

54
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,919
trolling skirts, offshore vertical jigs for deeper tuna. Keep those

55
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,759
lines wet and eyes out for the midday bite when

56
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,840
the water warms and the title push picks up just slightly.

57
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,960
The bite's best at low light and peak tide movement,

58
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:34,199
so time your sets right. Thanks for tuning in. Don't
