Speaker 1: It's your local source for line tugging action. I'm Artificial
Lore with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Sunday,
October nineteenth, twenty twenty five. First, let's talk conditions. We're
coming off an overnight low tide at two fifty five
am and looking toward a high tide just after nine
forty AM for the keys, with another low at mid
afternoon around three pm. Miami's tides lineup with a one
nineteen am low, peaking at seven thirty eight am, then
receding again after lunch. Sunrise clacked in at seven twenty
seven for the Keys, seven twenty one around Miami, and
you can expect Golden Hour to fade by six fifty
six and six forty eight pm, respectively. Weatherwise, it's a
gentle southeast breeze around ten to fifteen knots. Sea's running
about two four feet a moderate chop enough to keep
anybody paying attention, but still workable for most. There's a
moderate risk of showers off and on. Keep your slickers handy.
Now let's get into the bite. The keys have been
producing mutton, snapper and Spanish mackerel on the patch reefs
and edge of the channels. Fall sailfish action is heating
up offshore. They're moving into the current edges tailing on
bluewater mornings. Reef anglers have been bringing in yellowtail, snapper
and some healthy grouper Miami over at Haulover and Government
Cut saw mixed bags this week. Snoke are active inshore
if you catch the first light while in the bays,
Trout and mangrove snapperer bide. In terms of recent catches,
locals targeting mutton have averaged half a dozen good keepers
per boat running the outside reef. Offshore, charter captains are
reporting to the four sailfish per run, with some Mahi
dolphin in the mix. If you push past the drop
off on the bridges and canal mouths around Key Largo
and Islamarrada, you'll find tarpon rolling early and late with
jackson ladyfish filling out the numbers. Miami's Biscayne Bay delivered
solid numbers of slot, snook, schooly reds, and snapper for
kayak and skiff anglers. Lure and bait selection, artificial spoons
and bucktail jigs draw strikes from mackerel and snapper alike
in the Keys. Pilchered and pinfish are top live bait
for snapper, while pilchered pods work wonders for sailfish and blackfintuna.
Just outside the reef in Miami, plug anglers pitching topwater
walkers at daybreak are finding snook and juvenile tarpin for
bottom action. Shrimp on light jigheads is ever dependable and
cut bait like mullet strips will get the nod from
manger of snapper and occasional sheep's head. Hot spots you
should not miss in the Keys Alligator Reef near Islamorada
and the seven Mile Bridge approaches both are lighting up
for snapper early and sailfish as the sun gets up.
On the Miami side, Haulover Jetty and the card Sound
Mangrove cuts are fishing better than average. Haulover's outgoing tide
is drawing snoke and jacks. Card Sound gets you snapper
and an occasional tarpin before sundown. Whether you're chasing the
schoolies on the flats or sight casting to busting mackerel offshore,
this week's showing is all about timing your tides and
working with changing leather. Keep an eye on frontal changes
Monday bring some dryer air and lighter winds, so midweek
is shaping up to be prime for both inshore and
offshore efforts. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lower
