00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: This is your daily Fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys Miami.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,639
And here is what is bending our rods today for

3
00:00:06,719 --> 00:00:09,960
December nineteenth in the Florida Keys. In Miami. Here's what

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,800
you can expect for your fishing trip. Tides in weather

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,000
today in Miami, the sun rises at six fifty nine

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,399
a m and sets at five thirty two p m,

7
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,280
giving you about ten hours and thirty two minutes of daylight.

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,760
The tidal coefficient is high, with the first high tide

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,960
at seven fifty a m and the next at seven

10
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:31,679
fifty seven p m. The low tides are at one

11
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,119
twenty nine a m and two o two p m.

12
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:39,799
Fish activity. Despite some recent unusual fish behavior in the

13
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:43,119
Lower Keys, including reports of dead sawfish and erratic swimming

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,520
patterns in various species, the fishing remains good in many areas. However,

15
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,320
it's important to note that this unusual behavior has been

16
00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:53,920
observed from Bogie Channel in Big Pine southwestward to Key West,

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:59,679
though it's not widespread in Miami waters. Types of fish

18
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,960
this time of year is excellent for catching sailfish, kingfish

19
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920
and tuna. Sailfish are active year round, but peak from

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,959
December to March kingfish are in season from September to April,

21
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:14,480
with the best time being December to March. Tuna are

22
00:01:14,519 --> 00:01:18,239
also year round, but best from December to February. Best

23
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,159
lures in bait for sailfish use live baits such as

24
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,920
ballyhoo or blue runners. Kingfish are often caught using spoons, jigs,

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,480
and live bait like mullet or herring. Tuna can be

26
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:31,159
caught with lures like jigs and spoons, but live baits

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:36,920
such as pilchards or sardines works well too. Hotspots the reef,

28
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,599
This is a great spot for catching grouper, snapper, and

29
00:01:40,719 --> 00:01:43,599
other reef fish. The high tidle coefficient today should make

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,760
the currents favorable for reef fishing. Biscayne Bay known for

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,959
its diverse fish population. Biscayne Bay is a good spot

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,159
for catching species like tarpain, snook, and permit. The bay's

33
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:58,760
waters are generally calmer, making it a good choice if

34
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:06,000
the offshore conditions are recent catches. Yesterday, anglers reported catching

35
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,919
a good number of sailfish and kingfish offshore in the

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,599
back country. There were reports of snook, tarpon, and some

37
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,159
mutton snapper being caught. The reef Fishing was productive as well,

38
00:02:17,199 --> 00:02:21,319
with catches of grouper and various snapper species. Make sure

39
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240
to check local fishing regulations and be mindful of the

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,560
recent fish behavior anomalies, especially if you're fishing in the

41
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:31,039
lower Keys. Enjoy your fishing trip, and that is it
