Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami.
And here is what is bending our rods today for
January fourth, twenty twenty five in the Florida Keys in Miami.
Here's what you can expect for your fishing trip. First,
let's look at the daylight hours. Sunrise today is at
seven o eight a m. And sunset is at five
forty three pm, giving you about ten hours and thirty
four minutes of daylight. The weather this time of year
can be quite chilly, especially with cold fronts passing through,
which can kick up the seas. However, these conditions often
make the fish more active. Keep an eye on the
weather forecast to plan your trip accordingly. In terms of
fish activity, January is a great time for several species.
Sailfish are abundant, particularly around the reef lines and colour
changes where greenwater meets blue water. Use live baits like
goggle eyes or troll with rig balley who or big
spoons to catch these. Kingfish are also very active this
time of year, especially closer to the reef. Live baits
dropped halfway down the reef or trolling with rig ballyhoo
and big spoons can yield big catches. You might also
encounter some wahoo mixed in with the kingfish. For those
fishing in shorehor snook are near the shoreline preparing to
head into the creeks for the winter months. Redfish and
place drum can be found in the same areas, and
using live bait or big live shrimp can be effective.
On the flats, you might catch some bonefish and barracuda,
especially on warmer days, using live shrimp as bait. If
you're targeting Pompano, look for them in the inlets or
on the beaches using shrimp or sand fleas as bait.
Spanish mackerel are also close to the shoreline, making them
another viable target for hot spots. Consider the areas around
the Palm Beach and Broward Counties for sailfish and kingfish.
The upper keys are also excellent, particularly around the reef
lines and color changes. For inshore fishing. The flats and
shore lines around Florida Bay are good spots for snook, redfish,
and playsdrum. Remember grouper season is closed, so ensure you
have a descending device on your boat to safely release
any caught grouper. With the right bait and a keen
eye on the weather. You're set for a productive and
exciting fishing day in the Florida Keys and Miami. And
that is it for today. Hit the subscribe button and
never miss out. Keep those tips up in lines wet.
