31 OCT 2024 · As of October 31st, the Florida Keys and Miami area are experiencing some fantastic fishing conditions, making it an ideal time to hit the waters.
### Weather and Tides
Today, you can expect a mild fall day with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to the low 80s. The winds are northeasterly, medium to heavier, which is typical for this time of year. Tides are higher than normal, which is great for flats fishing. Sunrise is at around 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 6:15 PM.
### Fish Activity
The Fall Bait Migration is in full swing, bringing massive groups of baitfish down the coasts and into the Everglades and Florida Keys. This migration attracts a variety of predators, making for some exciting fishing. Yesterday, we saw big groups of tarpon, particularly in the late season showing that October is known for. Redfish and snook fishing have been stellar, with some 'lunker size' snook in the 12 to 18 lb range and black drum up to 25 lbs being caught.
### Types of Fish
In addition to tarpon, snook, and black drum, there have been plenty of redfish, juvenile goliath grouper, and the occasional juvenile tarpon. Bonefish on the flats have also been active, taking advantage of the higher tides to explore different parts of the flats and bay.
### Best Lures and Bait
For targeting these species, live bait such as shrimp, mullet, and pinfish have been very effective. For lures, soft plastics like DOA shrimp and MirrOlure suspending baits are working well. Jigs and spoons are also good options, especially for the larger snook and black drum.
### Hot Spots
Some of the best places to fish right now include the protected areas around the islands, the creeks, canals, and shorelines of Flamingo, and the mainland of south Florida. The flats around Islamorada are also producing some great catches, especially with the higher tides.
Overall, October is a great time to fish in the Florida Keys and Miami, with fewer boats on the water and plenty of fish to go around. Enjoy your trip

27 OCT 2024 · As of October 27th, the Florida Keys and Miami are offering some exceptional fishing opportunities, making this a great time to be out on the water.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is looking pleasant with mild temperatures and northeasterly winds, which is typical for this time of year as the Fall Bait Migration is in full effect. Today's sunrise is at 7:33 AM, and sunset will be at 6:43 PM. Tides are crucial, and for today, the high tide is expected around 10:30 AM, with the low tide at 4:30 PM. These tidal changes will significantly influence fish activity.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a lot of action in the waters around the Florida Keys and Miami. The Fall Bait Migration has brought massive groups of baitfish down the coasts and into the Everglades and the Keys, attracting a variety of predators. Tarpon, although typically more active later in the season, have made a late-season appearance and can be found in larger groups. Redfish and snook fishing has been stellar, with larger snook in the 12 to 18 lb range and redfish mixed in. Black drum, usually seen later in the colder months, have also been spotted in some areas, with catches in the 25 lb range.
### Best Lures and Bait
For inshore fishing, live bait is highly effective. Use live shrimp or cut bait for redfish, especially around mangrove shorelines and oyster bars during high tide. Snook are biting well in the passes and around bridges, with live bait being the best choice, although artificial lures like jigs and swimbaits can also work. For trout, a 3-inch Savage Gear Manic Shrimp rigged under a popping cork has been successful.
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots right now is around the protected areas of islands, creeks, canals, and shorelines of Flamingo and the mainland of south Florida. The flats are also a good spot, especially with the higher-than-normal tides reaching different parts of the flats and bay. For those targeting larger fish, the inlets from the Palm Beaches down to Miami are good places to cast live bait or lures for snook. The jetties and points with a bit of current are ideal for snook as they tend to ambush feed in these areas.
Overall, the conditions are perfect for a productive day of fishing in the Florida Keys and Miami. With the right bait and knowledge of the tides, you're set for an exciting day on the water.

26 OCT 2024 · As of October 26, 2024, the fishing scene in the Florida Keys and Miami is looking promising, despite the lingering effects of tropical systems in the area.
### Weather and Tides
The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 70 degrees. Tides are crucial today, with the high tide at around 10:30 AM and the low tide at 4:30 PM. These tidal changes will likely influence fish movement and feeding patterns.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 7:30 AM, and sunset will be at 6:30 PM, providing ample daylight for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.
### Fish Activity
Yesterday saw a lot of action in the Keys and Miami waters. Snook were particularly active, especially around the inlets and near the shorelines, where they tend to ambush feed as the water temperature drops. Kingfish are also closer to shore, following the bait schools that are migrating southward. Other species like mahi-mahi, snappers, and kingfish are still abundant, despite the rough seas associated with the hurricane season.
### Catches
Several black drum, sheepshead, and even some trout and pompano were caught yesterday. The snook bite has been strong, especially in the back country and around the jetties.
### Best Lures and Bait
For snook, using live bait such as shrimp or mullet near the inlets and points with current is highly effective. Kingfish can be targeted with spoons or live bait while trolling closer to shore. For mahi-mahi and tuna, trolling with big baits like Speedos or large lures, and ensuring a wire leader, is recommended.
### Hot Spots
- **Haulover Inlet**: Known for its strong snook activity, especially during tidal changes.
- **Key Biscayne**: The beaches and shorelines here are great for catching kingfish and snook as they follow the bait schools.
Keep an eye on the weather, as tropical systems can still impact fishing conditions. However, the days leading up to a storm can see increased fish activity, making for some excellent fishing opportunities. Enjoy your day on the water

20 OCT 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.
