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 and I'm
here to give you the low down on the fishing
scene in and around the Florida Keys in Miami for
January thirty first, twenty twenty five. First off, let's talk
about the weather and tidal conditions today January thirty first,
you can expect a beautiful day with sunrise at seven
four am and sunset at six o three pm. The
tidal report for Miami Beach, which is a good indicator
for the broader region, shows a low tide at three
oh nine am and another at three thirty four pm,
with high tides at nine twenty four am and nine
forty three pm. These tidle shifts can significantly impact fish activity,
especially in the backcountry and near shore areas. Now let's
dive into the fish activity. January is a fantastic time
for offshore angling in the Florida Keys. The big smoker
kingfish are providing excellent action both well offshore and occasionally
nearer the reef. Sailfish are biting daily As we approach
their spawn time, making this a prime period for targeting
these magnificent sportfish. You'll also find plenty of mackerel, including
quality zero and Spanish mackerel, and blackfintuna, which can create
quite the chaotic and exciting fishing experience when they school up.
For those preferring reef and wreckfishing, January brings comfortable conditions
despite the occasional winds. Amberjack and kobia are active, and
the snapper family, including mutton, yellowtail and mangrove snappers are
still producing well, although the yellowtail and mangrove numbers might
be a bit slower this month. However, February is just
around the corner and these numbers are expected to improve significantly.
In the backcountry, the action is fast paced and diverse. Redfish, kobia,
and various schooling species like Jack's sea trout and pompano
are abundant. While snook are not as active due to
cooler water temperatures, there are those rare days when mild
air temperatures and calmer winds can bring them to life.
Predator fishing is also on the rise, with giant barracuda
and several species of sharks ready to challenge anglers. When
it comes to lures in bait, I always recommend a
mix of both to cover your bases. For offshore and
reef fishing, jigs and spoons can be very effective. The
three inch cl shad tail rigged with a quarterrot's short
shank jighead is a versatile and highly effective lure that
can be used in various conditions. For backcountry fishing, live
baits such as shrimp, pinfish, and mullet can be irresistible
to many species. However, artificial lures like soft plastics and
top water baits can also yield great results, especially for
species like redfish and snook. If you're looking for some hotspots,
I highly recommend the patch reefs in the Florida Keys.
These natural formations, located about halfway to the Coral Reef,
offer a mix of backcountry and reef fishing in calmer waters.
The Marques's Keys are another excellent spot, particularly for predator
fishing and targeting large barracuda and sharks. In summary, January
is an excellent time to fish in the Florida Keys
and Miami. With the right lures, bait, and knowledge of
the tides and weather, you're set for a memorable fishing trip,
So grab your gear and let's get out there and
catch some fish. Tight lines. And that is it for today.
