00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:06,440
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,519
for January seventeenth, twenty twenty five in the Florida Keys.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,880
In Miami, the fishing conditions are looking promising despite the

5
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,440
cold fronts that have been passing through. Tidal report today

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,600
in Key Largo, the tide is currently falling with the

7
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,280
next low tide at two forty one am and the

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,480
next high tide at seven twenty nine pm. Weather and

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,520
sunrise sunset. The sun rises at six thirty am and

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,799
sets at eight seventeen pm. Keep an eye on the

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,600
weather as cold fronts can kick up the seas, but

12
00:00:38,719 --> 00:00:41,119
this is also when the fish tend to be more active.

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,439
Fish activity this time of year, sailfish and kingfish are

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,200
biting hotly in the Upper Keys in Miami. You can

15
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,600
find kingfish just off the reef, particularly if you have

16
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,520
live goggle eyes or are using spoons, rig ballow or

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,560
drifting with live bait. Sailfish are also active, often found

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520
where there are are showering schools of bait. Look for

19
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,599
color changes in the water where the green meets the blue,

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,879
as this is where sailfish and kingfish tend to congregate.

21
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,400
Spanish mackerel and sarrow mackerel are also present in these areas.

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,719
Best lures and bait for kingfish use live baits, spoons,

23
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,560
or rig ballow. For sailfish, trolling with live baits or

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,760
using a kite can be effective. Shrimp and sand fleas

25
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,519
are good baits for pompano, especially in the inlets and

26
00:01:28,599 --> 00:01:32,319
near the shorelines. Live shrimp are also excellent for catching

27
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,560
redfish and snook in the shallower flats hot spots. One

28
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:41,000
hot spot is near the reef lines in the upper Keys,

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:45,079
where kingfish and sailfish are abundant. Another good spot is

30
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,560
around the inlets and shorelines, particularly for pompano and snook.

31
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,120
For those targeting redfish and snook, the flats near the

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,920
shoreline are ideal, especially with live shrimp or big live baits.

33
00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:01,640
Additional tips be aware that grouper season is closed, so

34
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:04,519
ensure you have a descending device on your boat to

35
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,000
safely release any cock grouper. Also, keep an eye out

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,680
for shrimp runs near the bridges in the Keys a

37
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,759
few days before and after the full moon, as tarpan

38
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,080
will be feeding on these shrimp. With the right gear

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,759
and knowledge of the tides and fish activity. You're set

40
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,520
for a productive and enjoyable fishing day in the Florida
