00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Florida, Keys and Miami Fishing Report. Well, folks, this is

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,599
your morning briefing on what's happening on the water right

3
00:00:06,639 --> 00:00:10,519
now in the Keys and Miami area. Let's start with

4
00:00:10,519 --> 00:00:14,240
the tide situation. We're looking at Miami Beach currently showing

5
00:00:14,279 --> 00:00:17,879
water levels rising toward high tide around twelve thirty three

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,640
pm at two point eight feet. If you're heading out

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,600
this afternoon, that's your window for optimal conditions on the flats.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,239
Fish activity and recent catches. According to recent reports from

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:35,000
captain experiences, sheepshead fishing has been absolutely stellar, the most

10
00:00:35,039 --> 00:00:38,759
consistent bite we've seen around Florida right now. Redfish have

11
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,280
been a close second, especially on these cold days we've

12
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,240
been having. You've also got block, drum, seat route and

13
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,799
mangrove snappers active throughout the region. Down in the Key

14
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Largo area, guides are reporting solid action on reds, snook,

15
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:57,520
and sea trout on the back country. Lane. Snapper fishing

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,640
around Layton Key has been steady with good night bite

17
00:01:00,679 --> 00:01:06,159
action on sharks. Two lures and bait selection for sea trout, specifically,

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,159
jerk baits like the Rapola shadow wrap are money right now.

19
00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:13,079
In winter conditions, you can work them from a foot

20
00:01:13,079 --> 00:01:15,959
and a half to four feet of water. Modern glide

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,959
baits are also gaining traction. If you're targeting sheep's head

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,599
and redfish. The old school approaches are working best this

23
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:26,920
time of year. Live shrimp and cut mullet remain your

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,079
bread and butter your hotspots. I'd focus on the backcountry

25
00:01:31,079 --> 00:01:34,599
flats around Key Largo where guides are consistently finding fish,

26
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,040
and don't overlook the deeper hydrilla and grass edges near Miami,

27
00:01:38,439 --> 00:01:42,200
the shallow water structures holding quality fish right now, get

28
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,079
out there in tight lines. Thanks for tuning in, and
