  • Transition to Winter Fishing Heats Up in Florida Keys and Miami

    Transition to Winter Fishing Heats Up in Florida Keys and Miami
    Oct 20 2024
    As of October 20th, the Florida Keys and Miami are experiencing a transition from summer to winter fishing patterns, making this a exciting time to be on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 78 degrees and a low of 70 degrees. The winds are picking up, with northerly winds at 25-30 mph, which will make offshore fishing a bit sporty. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 10:00 AM and a low tide at 4:00 PM. Sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset is at 6:45 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    After the recent storms, the waters have cleaned up quickly, especially in the backcountry. The fish are very hungry, particularly on the reef where kingfish, mahi, and bonito have been active. Inshore, baby tarpon and trout are still present, although the flats are a bit cloudy due to past weather conditions.

    ### Catch Report
    Yesterday saw a decent bite of kingfish on the reef, with some mahi caught out past the color change and bonito in between. Chumming heavily helped with the yellowtail bite. In the backcountry, trout and pompano were biting well, and a few sheepshead and black drum were also caught.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For reef fishing, using ballyhoo and threadfins as bait is highly effective. Artificial lures such as spoons and jigs can also work well for kingfish and other predators like cero mackerels, snappers, groupers, and jacks. In the backcountry, live bait such as mullet and shrimp are excellent for catching trout, snook, and tarpon.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the patch reefs near Key West, where you can find grouper, snapper, and other tasty species. The outer reef is also exciting with the larger sea conditions brought by the north winds. For backcountry fishing, the shallows around the islands provide good cover from the wind and are home to a variety of species including tarpon, trout, and snook.

    ### Tips
    Keep an eye on the weather fronts, as they can trigger significant feeding activity among the fish. The full moon on October 17th should bring a strong wahoo bite, so be prepared with big baits like Speedos and ensure you have a wire leader. For snook, target the inlets and points with live bait or lures, as they tend to ambush feed in these areas.

    Overall, October is a great month to fish in the Florida Keys and Miami, with light crowds and cooler temperatures making it an ideal time to get out on the water.

    October 18, 2024, is shaping up to be a fantastic day for fishing in the Florida Keys and Miami. Here’s what you need to know to make the most of your day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather is looking good, with partly cloudy skies and a high of around 82 degrees Fahrenheit. However, keep an eye on those tropical systems, as they can still affect our waters this time of year. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM, which should provide some excellent fishing conditions.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to catch those fish.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, especially with the bait migration still in full swing. Kingfish were plentiful closer to shore, and snook were active around the inlets and in the back country. Tarpon and permit were also spotted in the shallower waters.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Kingfish were abundant, with several catches reported from the shorelines using live bait and spoons. Snook were biting well around the jetties and inlets, particularly on the ocean side where they were following bait schools. Tarpon and permit were also caught in good numbers, especially in the back country and around the flats.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For kingfish, using live bait such as mullet or sardines is highly effective. Spoons and jigs also worked well for those trolling closer to shore. For snook, live bait like shrimp or pinfish is a must, especially when cast near points with current. Tarpon and permit responded well to fly fishing gear and small jigs.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is the area around the jetties in Miami, where snook are congregating to ambush feed. Another great spot is the back country of the Keys, where tarpon and permit are plentiful. The beaches along the Atlantic side, particularly around Palm Beach and Broward, are also worth checking out as the bait migration moves south.

    Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys and Miami. Just remember to keep an eye on the weather and enjoy the cooler temperatures as they start to set in. Happy fishing

  • Autumn Angling in the Florida Keys: Snook, Kingfish, and Offshore Pelagics on the Rise

    Autumn Angling in the Florida Keys: Snook, Kingfish, and Offshore Pelagics on the Rise
    Oct 17 2024
    As of October 17th, the fishing scene in the Florida Keys and Miami is looking promising, despite the recent hurricanes that skirted the area.

    Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 84°F and a low of 75°F. The winds are light, blowing at about 10 mph from the southeast. Tides are moderate, with the high tide at 10:34 AM and the low tide at 4:17 PM. Sunrise was at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:53 PM.

    Yesterday saw a good mix of fish activity across various waters. In the back country and bays, snook were active, particularly around the inlets and points where there is some current. They are starting to move closer to shore as the temperatures drop slightly, making them more accessible for anglers. Kingfish are also plentiful, often found closer to shore following the bait schools. Offshore, the pelagics like mahi-mahi and tuna are still a bit challenging to find due to the lack of weed lines and debris, but venturing out 20-25 miles can yield results.

    For snook, live bait such as pilchards or mullet is highly effective, especially when cast near the jetties or points with some current. Lures like jigs or soft plastics can also work well. For kingfish, using spoons or live bait like blue runners or herring is recommended. When targeting mahi-mahi and tuna, big baits like Speedos or large ballyhoo with a wire leader are advisable.

    One of the hot spots right now is around the inlets from Palm Beach down to Miami, where snook are congregating. The jetties at these inlets are great places to cast your line. Another good spot is the beaches along the Atlantic side, where kingfish are following the bait schools. Areas like Haulover Inlet and the beaches around Miami Beach have been producing good catches.

    With the full moon today, the fishing around this period is expected to be particularly good, so keep your lines ready and enjoy the day on the water. Just remember to keep an eye on the weather, as tropical systems can still affect the area.

    Fishing Forecast for the Florida Keys and Miami: Kingfish, Snook, and Offshore Action Await
    Oct 13 2024
    If you're planning to hit the waters of the Florida Keys and Miami today, here's what you need to know:

    The weather is looking good, with partly cloudy skies and a high of around 84 degrees Fahrenheit. However, keep an eye on those tropical systems, as they can still affect fishing conditions. Tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 6:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out there.

    October is a great month for fishing in South Florida, and the fish are active, especially with the cooler temperatures starting to set in. Kingfish are closer to shore, following the bait schools, so you don't need to venture too far out. Snook are abundant in the inlets and back country, particularly around the points where there's some current. They're ambush feeding, so position your bait to drift along these areas.

    Yesterday saw a good number of kingfish caught, especially when using live bait or spoons for trolling. Snook were also plentiful, with many anglers reporting catches near the inlets and jetties. Wahoo are still around, especially during the full moon phase, which is approaching on the 17th. Mahi-mahi and tuna are a bit deeper, requiring a trip 20-25 miles out, but the effort can be rewarding.

    For kingfish, use spoons or live bait like mullet or sardines. Snook are biting well on live bait such as shrimp, mullet, or even some lures like jigs and plugs. For wahoo, big baits like Speedos or large Ballyhoo with a wire leader are effective. Mahi-mahi and tuna are attracted to weed lines and debris, so keep an eye out for these areas.

    One of the hot spots right now is around the jetties and inlets from Palm Beach down to Miami. These areas are teeming with snook and other predators following the bait schools. Another good spot is the back country and beaches of the Upper Keys, where kingfish and snook are active.

    Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys and Miami. Just remember to keep an eye on the weather and tidal changes, and you'll be reeling in some big catches in no time.
