Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.
Hello there, fellow anglers. This is Artificial Lure, your go
to expert for all things fishing in and around the
Florida Keys in Miami. Today, January thirtieth, twenty twenty five,
promises to be an interesting day on the water, so
let's dive into the details. First off, let's talk about
the tides. For Key West, we have a low tide
at four seventeen am and a high tide at ten
fifty five am, followed by another low tide at three
forty two pm and a high tide at nine fifty pm.
In Miami Beach, the tides are a bit different, low
tide at two twenty three am, high tide at eight
forty two am, low tide at two fifty pm, and
high tide at eight fifty five pm. These tidle shifts
can significantly impact fish activity, so timing your casts accordingly
is crucial. The weather has been quite chilly lately, with
temperatures dipping into the fifties in the Keys, which is
unusually cold for this time of year. However, this cold
front has brought some exciting fishing opportunities. The water temperatures
in the back country creeks have been around fifty seven degrees,
which can slow down fish activity, but patience is key here. Recently,
we've seen some great catches in the area. In the
back country, drum fishing has been fair, with catches of
fifteen to eighteen pound fish and even some smaller ones.
Snook and redfish have also been active, with a notable
catch of a twelve thirteen pound snook and a few
decent sized redfish. Offshore, kingfish and waho have been biting,
especially near the reef lines. Spanish mackerel and yellowtail snappers
are also active in these areas. For for lures, I
always recommend using something that mimics the natural baitfish. The
three n inch col shadtail is an excellent choice, especially
when rigged with a quarterot's short shank jighead. This lure
can be fished in various ways, from a straight reel
with little bumps to a typical jigging retrieve, and it's
highly effective in heavy winds and cold water. If you
prefer live bait, shrimp and sand fleas are great options
for Pompano and tarpin, especially around the bridges and the Keys,
where shrimp runs occur a few days before and after
the full moon. For kingfish and wahoo, live bait or
spoons and rig ballow work well. Now let's talk about
some hot spots. The area around the color change where
the green water meets the blue water is a prime
spot for catching sailfish mixed in with some Spanish mackerel
and kingfish. Trolling around this area with rig ballow or
dropping live baits on the surface can yield some big catches.
Another spot is near the reef lines off Miami and
the Upper Keys. Here you can find kingfish, wahoo, and
even some black fintuna and mahi. Using big spoons or
live baits halfway down the reef can result in some
thrilling fights with big fish. Four In the back country,
focus on areas with good schools of drum and snook.
Patience is key here as the cold water can make
the fish a bit sluggish. Sitting and waiting for bites,
especially in areas with good cover like mangroves and creeks,
can pay off with some nice catches in summery. Today's
fishing in the Florida. Keys in Miami looks promising despite
the cold weather. Timing your trips with the tides, using
the right lures or live baits, and targeting the right
spots can make for a memorable day on the water.
