00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,400
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,599
Hello there, fellow anglers. This is Artificial Lure, your go

4
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,400
to expert for all things fishing in and around the

5
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,760
Florida Keys in Miami. Today, January thirtieth, twenty twenty five,

6
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:20,440
promises to be an interesting day on the water, so

7
00:00:20,559 --> 00:00:24,239
let's dive into the details. First off, let's talk about

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,920
the tides. For Key West, we have a low tide

9
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,519
at four seventeen am and a high tide at ten

10
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,280
fifty five am, followed by another low tide at three

11
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,880
forty two pm and a high tide at nine fifty pm.

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,960
In Miami Beach, the tides are a bit different, low

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,520
tide at two twenty three am, high tide at eight

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,600
forty two am, low tide at two fifty pm, and

15
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:48,840
high tide at eight fifty five pm. These tidle shifts

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,119
can significantly impact fish activity, so timing your casts accordingly

17
00:00:53,359 --> 00:00:56,799
is crucial. The weather has been quite chilly lately, with

18
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,439
temperatures dipping into the fifties in the Keys, which is

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,640
unusually cold for this time of year. However, this cold

20
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:09,079
front has brought some exciting fishing opportunities. The water temperatures

21
00:01:09,079 --> 00:01:12,280
in the back country creeks have been around fifty seven degrees,

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,599
which can slow down fish activity, but patience is key here. Recently,

23
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,439
we've seen some great catches in the area. In the

24
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,000
back country, drum fishing has been fair, with catches of

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,200
fifteen to eighteen pound fish and even some smaller ones.

26
00:01:27,799 --> 00:01:30,719
Snook and redfish have also been active, with a notable

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,159
catch of a twelve thirteen pound snook and a few

28
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:37,599
decent sized redfish. Offshore, kingfish and waho have been biting,

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,359
especially near the reef lines. Spanish mackerel and yellowtail snappers

30
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,200
are also active in these areas. For for lures, I

31
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:50,159
always recommend using something that mimics the natural baitfish. The

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,480
three n inch col shadtail is an excellent choice, especially

33
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,519
when rigged with a quarterot's short shank jighead. This lure

34
00:01:58,599 --> 00:02:01,480
can be fished in various ways, from a straight reel

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,439
with little bumps to a typical jigging retrieve, and it's

36
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,560
highly effective in heavy winds and cold water. If you

37
00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:12,240
prefer live bait, shrimp and sand fleas are great options

38
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,159
for Pompano and tarpin, especially around the bridges and the Keys,

39
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,520
where shrimp runs occur a few days before and after

40
00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:22,599
the full moon. For kingfish and wahoo, live bait or

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,520
spoons and rig ballow work well. Now let's talk about

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,479
some hot spots. The area around the color change where

43
00:02:29,479 --> 00:02:32,240
the green water meets the blue water is a prime

44
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:35,719
spot for catching sailfish mixed in with some Spanish mackerel

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,560
and kingfish. Trolling around this area with rig ballow or

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,159
dropping live baits on the surface can yield some big catches.

47
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,039
Another spot is near the reef lines off Miami and

48
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,280
the Upper Keys. Here you can find kingfish, wahoo, and

49
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:55,400
even some black fintuna and mahi. Using big spoons or

50
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:57,840
live baits halfway down the reef can result in some

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,520
thrilling fights with big fish. Four In the back country,

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,120
focus on areas with good schools of drum and snook.

53
00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:08,560
Patience is key here as the cold water can make

54
00:03:08,599 --> 00:03:11,719
the fish a bit sluggish. Sitting and waiting for bites,

55
00:03:11,879 --> 00:03:14,800
especially in areas with good cover like mangroves and creeks,

56
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,680
can pay off with some nice catches in summery. Today's

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,080
fishing in the Florida. Keys in Miami looks promising despite

58
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,599
the cold weather. Timing your trips with the tides, using

59
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,599
the right lures or live baits, and targeting the right

60
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,360
spots can make for a memorable day on the water.

61
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:35,560

00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:38,520
