Speaker 1: Good morning, anglers, Artificial Lore here with your Florida Keys
and Miami fishing report for Saturday, September twenty, twenty twenty five.
If you're heading out today, you've got a prime September
sunrise at seven zero eight am and sunset at seven
nineteen pm. We're in for a solid twelve hours of
fishing light, plenty of time to red a line and
haul in some beauties. Let's talk tides in North Miami.
Today's title coefficient is eighty eight, which is considered high
and means we're seeing strong tides, great for fish movement
and those feeding windows. High tide hits at seven fifty
nine am three point two feet, rolling into a low
at two zero nine pm zero point five feet, and
another high swings in at eight nineteen pm three point
two feet. That early morning and late evening push primetime
for big bites out in the lower Keys. In around
Key West, tide charts shows similar patters, so wherever you launch,
plan your trip around those peak changes for BetUS results.
Weather's a typical late September Florida mix. Expect muggy conditions
and an air temp climbing into the upper eighties. Water
temps are about eighty six degrees fahrenheit, which keeps pelagus
active and pushes the flat species to hunt strong at
dawn and dusk. Winds are light, perfect for small craft
and kayaks, and the serf's mellow enough for clear water
on the edges. There is a bit of a heads
up from state weather officials tides could run a foot
or so above usual and bring minor saltwater flooding in
some low spots. Make sure to chew your launch points
and be wary of high water on the back country trails. Now,
let's get to the fish. There's been no shortage of
action this week. Inshore guides in regulars out of Flamingo
and Tavernir reports solid snook and redfish on the move,
especially near the mangroves and channels. At first light. Live
pilchers and small pinfish are top, but artificial shrimp and
paddle tails in white or chartreuse have been getting aggressive hits.
Plenty of legal mangrove snapper are hitting around structure, bridges, rocks,
and the edges of flats. A few slot sized trout
are still mixed in on the deeper edges with popping
corks and gold shrimp drawn them up offshore. Around the
refline and just past Mahi Rahi dolphin are showing in
good numbers, particularly under reeds and debris in about four
hundred to eight hundred feet. Trolling small rig balahou, feather
jigs or even flashy bucktail combos has produced nice gaffers
while the schoolies are smashing live pilchards drifted behind the boat.
Blackfin tuna have been hitting vertical jigs and small live
baits deeper along the hump off Islamorada for refounds. Yellowtail
bite is steady. Bring plenty of chum and try a
small jig tip with cut bait for best luck. Down
in Key West and around Vodka key bonefish and permit
are tailing across the flats morning inc coming tide is
your best back. Crustacean imitations are working wonders. Try a
small tan crabfly or the classic pink skimmer jig. Tarpin
are shifting to deeper channels but can still be jumped
at first and last light on live mullet or doa
bait busters. Popular hotspots today include the bridges at Channel
five and seven mile for snapper and grouper, as well
as the flats around Snake Creek for bones and permit.
Offshore enthusiasts should make a run to Isla Morada Hump
for big tuna, while in Miami, Haulover Inlet is delivering
study snoke at dawn and dusk, and the government cut
jetties are loaded with jacks and the occasional tarpin busting bait. Remember,
with these stronger tides and daybreak hours, early missions and
evening sessions are the ticket. Downsize baits and lighter leader
help with finicky snapper, while flash and vibration catch the
attention offshore with all that moving water. Thanks for tuning
