00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,040
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,439
Hello there, fellow anglers. This is Artificial Lure and I'm

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,279
here to give you the low down on the fishing

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,000
scene in and around the Florida Keys in Miami for

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,440
January thirty first, twenty twenty five. First off, let's talk

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:23,800
about the weather and tidal conditions today January thirty first,

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,719
you can expect a beautiful day with sunrise at seven

9
00:00:27,039 --> 00:00:31,000
four am and sunset at six o three pm. The

10
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,880
tidal report for Miami Beach, which is a good indicator

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,759
for the broader region, shows a low tide at three

12
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,840
oh nine am and another at three thirty four pm,

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,320
with high tides at nine twenty four am and nine

14
00:00:42,439 --> 00:00:47,240
forty three pm. These tidle shifts can significantly impact fish activity,

15
00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:51,079
especially in the backcountry and near shore areas. Now let's

16
00:00:51,079 --> 00:00:54,399
dive into the fish activity. January is a fantastic time

17
00:00:54,479 --> 00:00:58,000
for offshore angling in the Florida Keys. The big smoker

18
00:00:58,079 --> 00:01:02,280
kingfish are providing excellent action both well offshore and occasionally

19
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:06,239
nearer the reef. Sailfish are biting daily As we approach

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,879
their spawn time, making this a prime period for targeting

21
00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:14,480
these magnificent sportfish. You'll also find plenty of mackerel, including

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,079
quality zero and Spanish mackerel, and blackfintuna, which can create

23
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,920
quite the chaotic and exciting fishing experience when they school up.

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,120
For those preferring reef and wreckfishing, January brings comfortable conditions

25
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:33,319
despite the occasional winds. Amberjack and kobia are active, and

26
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,280
the snapper family, including mutton, yellowtail and mangrove snappers are

27
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,239
still producing well, although the yellowtail and mangrove numbers might

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,879
be a bit slower this month. However, February is just

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,560
around the corner and these numbers are expected to improve significantly.

30
00:01:50,439 --> 00:01:55,560
In the backcountry, the action is fast paced and diverse. Redfish, kobia,

31
00:01:55,799 --> 00:01:59,640
and various schooling species like Jack's sea trout and pompano

32
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
are abundant. While snook are not as active due to

33
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,319
cooler water temperatures, there are those rare days when mild

34
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:09,639
air temperatures and calmer winds can bring them to life.

35
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,159
Predator fishing is also on the rise, with giant barracuda

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,120
and several species of sharks ready to challenge anglers. When

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,759
it comes to lures in bait, I always recommend a

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,479
mix of both to cover your bases. For offshore and

39
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,120
reef fishing, jigs and spoons can be very effective. The

40
00:02:26,199 --> 00:02:29,520
three inch cl shad tail rigged with a quarterrot's short

41
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,319
shank jighead is a versatile and highly effective lure that

42
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,199
can be used in various conditions. For backcountry fishing, live

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,120
baits such as shrimp, pinfish, and mullet can be irresistible

44
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:45,800
to many species. However, artificial lures like soft plastics and

45
00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:49,680
top water baits can also yield great results, especially for

46
00:02:49,719 --> 00:02:54,240
species like redfish and snook. If you're looking for some hotspots,

47
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,240
I highly recommend the patch reefs in the Florida Keys.

48
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,560
These natural formations, located about halfway to the Coral Reef,

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,080
offer a mix of backcountry and reef fishing in calmer waters.

50
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,520
The Marques's Keys are another excellent spot, particularly for predator

51
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:14,479
fishing and targeting large barracuda and sharks. In summary, January

52
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960
is an excellent time to fish in the Florida Keys

53
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,639
and Miami. With the right lures, bait, and knowledge of

54
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,840
the tides and weather, you're set for a memorable fishing trip,

55
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,680
So grab your gear and let's get out there and

56
00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,759
