you can expect for your fishing trip. Tides in weather
today in Miami, the sun rises at six fifty nine
a m and sets at five thirty two p m,

The tidal coefficient is high, with the first high tide

Fish activity. Despite some recent unusual fish behavior in the
Lower Keys, including reports of dead sawfish and erratic swimming
patterns in various species, the fishing remains good in many areas. However,
it's important to note that this unusual behavior has been
observed from Bogie Channel in Big Pine southwestward to Key West,
though it's not widespread in Miami waters. Types of fish
this time of year is excellent for catching sailfish, kingfish
and tuna. Sailfish are active year round, but peak from
December to March kingfish are in season from September to April,
with the best time being December to March. Tuna are
also year round, but best from December to February. Best
lures in bait for sailfish use live baits such as
ballyhoo or blue runners. Kingfish are often caught using spoons, jigs,
and live bait like mullet or herring. Tuna can be
caught with lures like jigs and spoons, but live baits
such as pilchards or sardines works well too. Hotspots the reef,
This is a great spot for catching grouper, snapper, and
other reef fish. The high tidle coefficient today should make
the currents favorable for reef fishing. Biscayne Bay known for
its diverse fish population. Biscayne Bay is a good spot
for catching species like tarpain, snook, and permit. The bay's
waters are generally calmer, making it a good choice if
the offshore conditions are recent catches. Yesterday, anglers reported catching
a good number of sailfish and kingfish offshore in the
back country. There were reports of snook, tarpon, and some
mutton snapper being caught. The reef Fishing was productive as well,
with catches of grouper and various snapper species. Make sure
to check local fishing regulations and be mindful of the
recent fish behavior anomalies, especially if you're fishing in the
lower Keys. Enjoy your fishing trip, and that is it
