00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: Good morning, fellow anglers. This is artificial lure coming to

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,759
you with your Thursday, October twenty third, twenty twenty five,

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,720
Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report. Let's kick off with

4
00:00:11,759 --> 00:00:15,199
the tides. In Key West expect a low tide around

5
00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,199
five twenty six am at zero point two eight feet

6
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,719
and a high just afternoon twelve pm, peaking at one

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,960
point six six feet. There's another low at four fifty

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,320
two pm zero point nine four feet and high again

9
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:31,719
at eleven twenty pm two point two eight feet. Channel

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,000
Key West Side will see a high at one fifty

11
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,200
eight am, low at eight thirty three am, high at

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,880
three twelve pm, and another low at seven fifty nine pm.

13
00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:44,200
These conditions are typical for late October and are prime

14
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,840
for fishing the moving water, especially as it pushes baitfish

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,159
onto the flats and into deep channels. Sunrise is at

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,119
seven twenty nine am, in sunset at six fifty three pm.

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Early risers get first light on glassy waters, so plam

18
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,880
your cast around those changes for best results. Weatherwise. Florida

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,480
Disaster reports minor coastal flooding caution in the Keys, with

20
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,920
a fair coastal breeze, moderate humidity, and a mild chop pack.

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,400
A light jacket for the boat as mornings have a

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,519
bit of that fall nip. No major storms in the forecast,

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200
just classic subtropical autumn, good for getting on the water

24
00:01:21,239 --> 00:01:24,920
without battling thunderstorms. The bite has been active this week.

25
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:30,040
Inshore Bonefish, Permit and Tarpon are patrolling the flats with

26
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:34,280
snook and redfish hunting the mangros and backcountry cuts. If

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,000
you're drifting the bridges or rocky channels, expect steady grouper

28
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,640
and snapper action. Channel Key and Snipe Point have both

29
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,040
been buzzing plenty of mangrove snapper, Spanish mackerel, and a

30
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:50,400
few slot sized redfish. Offshore. Dolphin Mai Mai are still

31
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:53,200
trickling in the deeper blue. Then there's a surge of

32
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,519
kingfish and blackfintuna off the rex and ledges. Charter captains

33
00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:00,760
from Islamorida and Key Largo are reporting strong numbers in

34
00:02:00,799 --> 00:02:04,680
the box. Early runs see eight to twelve fish on average,

35
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:08,400
with some fifteen pound kings landed just northeast of Alligator Reef.

36
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:12,120
The stone crab season just opened and crabbers are pulling

37
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:15,159
nice claws from the muddy bottom. According to local news,

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,800
what's working. Top angler choices this week are live pilchards,

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,080
cut ballyhoo, and fresh shrink for bait. Lures like white

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,159
bucktail jigs, chartruse paddle tails and slow trolled yosery. Hard

41
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:33,039
minnows are drawing strikes from both snook and tarpin. Pilchered

42
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,520
schools are thick in the harbor. Net a few and

43
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:39,719
you'll be covered for predatory fish. Offshore trolling with rig

44
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:44,240
ballyhoo or shiny skirted lures is producing solid maddy and tuna.

45
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,280
