00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,359
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,480
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,279
For today January sixteenth, twenty twenty five, in the Florida

4
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:14,759
Keys in Miami, the fishing conditions are looking promising despite

5
00:00:14,839 --> 00:00:17,079
the cold fronts that have been passing through the area.

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,120
Tidal report as of today, the tidal coefficient is high,

7
00:00:22,359 --> 00:00:25,480
with a value of eighty, indicating significant high and low

8
00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:29,239
tides and strong currents five. In the Content Keys, the

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,399
high tide is at ten fifty two a m and

10
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,079
again at ten twenty seven p m, with low tides

11
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:36,479
at four forty four a m and four oh six

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,880
p m. Weather in daylight, sunrise is at seven o

13
00:00:40,039 --> 00:00:42,560
nine a m and sunset will be at five fifty

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,200
six p m, giving you about ten hours and forty

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,240
seven minutes of daylight. Keep an eye on the weather

16
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:50,600
as cold fronts can kick up the seas, but this

17
00:00:50,719 --> 00:00:52,799
is also when the fish tend to be more active.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,799
Fish activity this time of year, the fish are quite

19
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:02,640
active in the Upper Keys in Miami. The sailfish and

20
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:06,120
kingfish bites are hot. You can find kingfish just off

21
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,239
the reef and they are particularly active during the cold fronts.

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,319
Use live goggle eyes, spoons or rig ballyho to catch them.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,400
Sailfish are also abundant, often mixed in with the kingfish.

24
00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:21,959
Look for showering schools of bait, as these will attract

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,560
sailfish and other species like Spanish mackerel and sarrow mackerel.

26
00:01:26,519 --> 00:01:29,159
In the shallower waters, snook are near the shore line

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,920
preparing to move into the creeks for the winter. Red

28
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,799
Fish and playstrum are also in these areas, and you

29
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,840
can catch them using live bait or big live shrimp.

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,359
Best lures and bait for kingfish and sailfish live goggle

31
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,959
eyes and rig bally who are excellent choices for snook

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,159
and redfish. Live shrimp and big live shrimp work well

33
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:54,280
if you're targeting Pompano shrimp and sand fleas are good baits.

34
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,680
Hot spots. One of the best spots to fish for

35
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:01,400
sailfish and kingfish is where the green water meets the

36
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:05,400
blue water, a color change that attracts bait and consequently

37
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:08,680
these fish. Another good spot is near the bridges in

38
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,840
the Keys, especially a few days before and after the

39
00:02:11,879 --> 00:02:15,360
full moon, where you can catch tarpun feeding on shrimp runs.

40
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,479
For those fishing in Florida Bay, the shore line in

41
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,240
slightly deeper flats are good areas to find snook, red fish,

42
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:27,199
and playsdrum. The finger channels can also be productive, especially

43
00:02:27,199 --> 00:02:29,840
if you anchor up and start chumming, which can attract

44
00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:36,520
mangrove snappers, mackerels, and mutton snappers. Overall, it's a great

45
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,319
time to be out on the water in the Florida

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,479
Keys in Miami with plenty of fish to target and

47
00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:43,840
good conditions to make the most of your fishing trip.
