00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,360
And here is what is bending our rods today for

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,119
January fourth, twenty twenty five in the Florida Keys in Miami.

4
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:15,039
Here's what you can expect for your fishing trip. First,

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,559
let's look at the daylight hours. Sunrise today is at

6
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,320
seven o eight a m. And sunset is at five

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,440
forty three pm, giving you about ten hours and thirty

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,480
four minutes of daylight. The weather this time of year

9
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,800
can be quite chilly, especially with cold fronts passing through,

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,799
which can kick up the seas. However, these conditions often

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,799
make the fish more active. Keep an eye on the

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,359
weather forecast to plan your trip accordingly. In terms of

13
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:45,439
fish activity, January is a great time for several species.

14
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Sailfish are abundant, particularly around the reef lines and colour

15
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:53,880
changes where greenwater meets blue water. Use live baits like

16
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,439
goggle eyes or troll with rig balley who or big

17
00:00:56,479 --> 00:01:00,320
spoons to catch these. Kingfish are also very active this

18
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,879
time of year, especially closer to the reef. Live baits

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,799
dropped halfway down the reef or trolling with rig ballyhoo

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,519
and big spoons can yield big catches. You might also

21
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:15,640
encounter some wahoo mixed in with the kingfish. For those

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,280
fishing in shorehor snook are near the shoreline preparing to

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,640
head into the creeks for the winter months. Redfish and

24
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,439
place drum can be found in the same areas, and

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,359
using live bait or big live shrimp can be effective.

26
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,239
On the flats, you might catch some bonefish and barracuda,

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,640
especially on warmer days, using live shrimp as bait. If

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,560
you're targeting Pompano, look for them in the inlets or

29
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:42,640
on the beaches using shrimp or sand fleas as bait.

30
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,640
Spanish mackerel are also close to the shoreline, making them

31
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,920
another viable target for hot spots. Consider the areas around

32
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:55,120
the Palm Beach and Broward Counties for sailfish and kingfish.

33
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,000
The upper keys are also excellent, particularly around the reef

34
00:01:59,079 --> 00:02:03,319
lines and color changes. For inshore fishing. The flats and

35
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,239
shore lines around Florida Bay are good spots for snook, redfish,

36
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:11,960
and playsdrum. Remember grouper season is closed, so ensure you

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,840
have a descending device on your boat to safely release

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,280
any caught grouper. With the right bait and a keen

39
00:02:18,319 --> 00:02:20,960
eye on the weather. You're set for a productive and

40
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,280
exciting fishing day in the Florida Keys and Miami. And
