00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast Florida Keys Miami

2
00:00:03,839 --> 00:00:07,759
and here is what is bending our rods today. Hey there,

3
00:00:07,799 --> 00:00:10,839
fellow anglers, this is artificial lure here and I'm excited

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,400
to share today's fishing report for the Florida Keys in

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,519
Miami area. First off, let's talk about the conditions today,

6
00:00:17,719 --> 00:00:21,800
February seventh, twenty twenty five. We're looking at a pretty

7
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:25,679
pleasant day. The sunrise was at seven four am and

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,600
the sunset will be at six fifteen pm, giving us

9
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,719
a good amount of daylight to get out on the water.

10
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:34,840
The tide times for Content Keys content passage are as

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,399
follows Low tide at three nineteen am with point seven

12
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,200
four feet, high tide at nine fifty one am with

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,000
one point zero five feet, low tide at two oh

14
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:47,039
one pm with point six feet, and high tide at

15
00:00:47,039 --> 00:00:50,079
eight eight pm with three point one one feet. The

16
00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:52,520
weather has been calming down a bit after those last

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,000
cold fronts, which is great news for US fishermen. The

18
00:00:56,039 --> 00:00:58,799
winds have died down, making it an ideal time to

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:06,239
hit both the offshore and inshore waters offshore fishing. Offshore fishing

20
00:01:06,359 --> 00:01:09,000
is really heating up this time of year. The sailfish

21
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:11,439
bite is on daily as we approach their spawn time,

22
00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,040
and February marks the beginning of one of our most

23
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:19,120
productive periods. Offshore kingfish, particularly the big smoker kingfish, are

24
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,319
providing excellent action both well offshore and occasionally nearer the reef.

25
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,920
The mackerel family, including serow and Spanish mackerel are abundant,

26
00:01:28,079 --> 00:01:32,200
and black fin tuna are also active, offering some thrilling catches.

27
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:35,799
Wahou and mahai are still around, though the mahay action

28
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:38,519
can be a bit sporadic, but always a welcome bonus

29
00:01:39,239 --> 00:01:43,079
for offshore fishing. I recommend using lures like spoons, jigs,

30
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:46,239
and live bait such as balihou or pilchards. These will

31
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:50,159
attract the larger pelagic species like sailfish, kingfish, and tuna.

32
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,480
Reef and wreck fishing. The reef and wreck areas are

33
00:01:54,519 --> 00:01:58,040
also producing well. With the winds down, these spots are

34
00:01:58,079 --> 00:02:02,519
more comfortable, especially for those concerned about rough seas. Amberjack

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,079
and kobia are active, and the snapper family, including mutton

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,879
snapper is still going strong. However, keep in mind that

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
the grouper season is closed until May and Monroe County,

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,280
so we'll have to wait a bit longer for those.

39
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:19,479
For reef and wreck fishing, use jigs, live bait, or

40
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,680
cut bait to attract the likes of amberjack, kobia, and snappers.

41
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,199
Near shore and back country. Nearshore and backcountry fishing are

42
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,000
excellent right now. The patch reefs located about halfway to

43
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:35,960
the Coral Reef, offer a mix of backcountry and reef

44
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,080
fishing in colmer waters. Here you can target a variety

45
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,960
of species using non technical techniques suitable for both novice

46
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,159
and experienced anglers. In the backcountry, the redfish action is

47
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:49,680
as good as it gets. In Key West. Kobia fishing

48
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:52,719
is also producing quality fish, and while snook are not

49
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,159
super active due to cooler water temps, there are days

50
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,560
when mild air temperatures and calmer winds bring them to life.

51
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Schooling species like jacks, sea trout, pompano and more are

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,719
providing NonStop action. Predator fishing for giant barracuda and several

53
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:11,879
species of sharks is also on the rise, especially in

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,800
the Marquses. For backcountry fishing, use soft plastics, jigs, and

55
00:03:16,879 --> 00:03:20,680
live bait like shrimp or mullet to catch redfish, kobia,

56
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,879
and snook hotspots If you're looking for some hotspots, I

57
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:29,199
highly recommend the Patch reefs for a comfortable and diverse

58
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,599
fishing experience. For those who prefer the backcountry, the Marquesses

59
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,240
and the waters around Key West are teeming with life

60
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,199
in summery. February is shaping up to be an excellent

61
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,080
month for fishing in the Florida, Keys and Miami area,

62
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:46,919
with stable water temperatures, calmer winds, and a wide variety

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280
of active fish species. There's no better time to get

64
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,439
out on the water. So grab your gear, choose the

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,120
