16
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:50,159
December is a great time for fishing in the Florida Keys,

17
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:55,039
with several species active during this period. Expect to catch sailfish, kingfish,

18
00:00:55,159 --> 00:00:57,600
and tuna, as these are in their best seasons from

19
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:03,119
December to March. Catch report yesterday saw a good number

20
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,719
of sailfish and kingfish caught, particularly around the reef areas.

21
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:10,280
Some anglers also reported catching tuna and wahoo, which are

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,599
common this time of year. Grouper are also biting well,

23
00:01:13,799 --> 00:01:18,519
especially in the deeper waters. Best lures and bait for

24
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:22,040
sailfish and kingfish use lures like spoons and jigs or

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,599
live bait such as ballyho and pilchards. Tuna and wahoo

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,959
are often caught using trolling lures like cedar plugs and

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,079
deep diving lures. For grouper, live or frozen bait like

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,120
shrimp and mullet work well hot spots. One of the

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,599
hot spots right now is the reef off Key Largo,

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,239
where the sailfish and kingfish are congregating. Another good spot

31
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:47,519
is the back country waters around Islamorada, where you can

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,719
find a mix of species including tarpin and snapper. Overall,

33
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:53,920
it's shaping up to be a great day on the water,

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,159
so make sure to check the weather, forecast and tidal

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,719
conditions before you head out, and don't forget to bring

36
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,799
