1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: This is artificial lure. With your May fourteenth, twenty twenty

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,599
five fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami Waters.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,919
The sun rose at six thirty eight am and will

4
00:00:09,919 --> 00:00:13,240
set tonight around seven fifty five pm, giving us a

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,239
full day of prime fishing conditions. Warm, calm weather is

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,039
setting the summer pattern, and light winds have kept the

7
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:23,800
seas comfortable. Tides today are moderate, with the early morning

8
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:27,559
incoming tide and the late afternoon outgoing tide being the

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,200
most productive windows. Pelagic fishing off Miami has been solid.

10
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:37,399
Blackfintuna and kingfish are hitting regularly along the edge, especially

11
00:00:37,399 --> 00:00:41,359
in the mornings and evenings. Kingfish up to thirty pounds

12
00:00:41,359 --> 00:00:43,679
have been landed this week, and there's been a steady

13
00:00:43,719 --> 00:00:48,079
pick of blackfintuna. Mahai mahai are just starting to trickle

14
00:00:48,079 --> 00:00:51,119
in offshore, but they're scattered, so keep moving until you

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,560
find them. Wahoo are an occasional surprise, so running wire

16
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,000
leaders is a smart move. One five anglers are seeing

17
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:04,000
better bottom fishing as grouper season just opened. Red grouper

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,000
and mutton snapper are coming off the wrecks, especially during

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,799
active tides. It's also a solid time for amberjack and

20
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:15,280
the occasional rare American red snapper. In the Florida Keys,

21
00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:18,560
the inshore bite is heating up. Redfish have been active

22
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:21,560
across the flats, especially in the early part of the day.

23
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,319
Tarpin action is picking up with the big migration pushing through,

24
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:30,040
so bridge channels and ocean side passes are holding fish. Snook,

25
00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:33,920
and juvenile tarpin are steady targets around mangroves and backcountry

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,359
channels for lures and bait. Here's what's working offshore. Live pilchards, threadfin, herring,

27
00:01:41,519 --> 00:01:44,400
and benito strips on drift rigs are top choices for

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,760
kingfish and tuna trolling. Small feathers and squid skirts will

29
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,959
get mahi. Run deep divers or planers for wahoo, bottom,

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,439
live pinfish, ballyhoo, or large chunks of fresh bait are

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,319
best for grouper and mutton snapper. Inshore top water plugs

32
00:02:01,359 --> 00:02:04,359
and weedless soft plastics are drawing redfish and snook on

33
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,120
the flats for tarpin. Live mullet or crabs near bridges

34
00:02:08,159 --> 00:02:11,599
and passes at dusk and dawn are producing. Hotspots to

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,159
hit today include the reef edge off Fowy Rocks for

36
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,120
kingfish and blackfin, Islamarada's Hump for scattered mahe and the

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,879
flats off Marathon for redfish and the early morning tarpan bite.

38
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,599
The seven Mile Bridge is a classic tarpin hotspot that's

39
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,280
seeing plenty of rolling fish action is only going to

40
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:31,680
heat up as the tides in moon a line over

41
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:35,520
the coming weeks. Tight lines and see you out on
