Speaker 1: This is artificial lure. With your May fourteenth, twenty twenty
five fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami Waters.
The sun rose at six thirty eight am and will
set tonight around seven fifty five pm, giving us a
full day of prime fishing conditions. Warm, calm weather is
setting the summer pattern, and light winds have kept the
seas comfortable. Tides today are moderate, with the early morning
incoming tide and the late afternoon outgoing tide being the
most productive windows. Pelagic fishing off Miami has been solid.
Blackfintuna and kingfish are hitting regularly along the edge, especially
in the mornings and evenings. Kingfish up to thirty pounds
have been landed this week, and there's been a steady
pick of blackfintuna. Mahai mahai are just starting to trickle
in offshore, but they're scattered, so keep moving until you
find them. Wahoo are an occasional surprise, so running wire
leaders is a smart move. One five anglers are seeing
better bottom fishing as grouper season just opened. Red grouper
and mutton snapper are coming off the wrecks, especially during
active tides. It's also a solid time for amberjack and
the occasional rare American red snapper. In the Florida Keys,
the inshore bite is heating up. Redfish have been active
across the flats, especially in the early part of the day.
Tarpin action is picking up with the big migration pushing through,
so bridge channels and ocean side passes are holding fish. Snook,
and juvenile tarpin are steady targets around mangroves and backcountry
channels for lures and bait. Here's what's working offshore. Live pilchards, threadfin, herring,
and benito strips on drift rigs are top choices for
kingfish and tuna trolling. Small feathers and squid skirts will
get mahi. Run deep divers or planers for wahoo, bottom,
live pinfish, ballyhoo, or large chunks of fresh bait are
best for grouper and mutton snapper. Inshore top water plugs
and weedless soft plastics are drawing redfish and snook on
the flats for tarpin. Live mullet or crabs near bridges
and passes at dusk and dawn are producing. Hotspots to
hit today include the reef edge off Fowy Rocks for
kingfish and blackfin, Islamarada's Hump for scattered mahe and the
flats off Marathon for redfish and the early morning tarpan bite.
The seven Mile Bridge is a classic tarpin hotspot that's
seeing plenty of rolling fish action is only going to
heat up as the tides in moon a line over
the coming weeks. Tight lines and see you out on
the water. And that is it for today. Hit the
