Speaker 1: This is your daily fishing Report podcast for Florida Keys

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,040
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today.

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,199
Hey there, fellow anglers, this is artificial lure and I'm

4
00:00:11,199 --> 00:00:12,800
here to give you the low down on the fishing

5
00:00:12,839 --> 00:00:15,960
scene in and around the Florida Keys and Miami for today,

6
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,600
February twelfth, twenty twenty five. First off, let's talk about

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,199
the weather and tides today. We're looking at partly cloudy

8
00:00:24,199 --> 00:00:26,760
skies with a high of around seventy five degrees and

9
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,039
a gentle breeze out of the northeast. Sunrise was at

10
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:32,679
seven oh one am and sunset will be at six

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,880
eighteen pm. Tides are crucial and for content Keys, we

12
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,960
have a high tide at one oh six pm with

13
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:41,960
a height of two point zero five feet, followed by

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,119
a low tide at seven oh three pm with a

15
00:00:44,119 --> 00:00:47,679
height of mini point zero five feet. Now onto the

16
00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:51,039
good stuff, the fish. February is a great time to

17
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,520
be fishing in the Florida Keys, with a variety of

18
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,560
species active in the waters. Recently, anglers have been catching

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,320
yellowtail snapper and mangrove snappers in abundance, mutton snappers, amberjacks,

20
00:01:03,359 --> 00:01:06,719
and even African pompano have been making appearances as well.

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,920
Won four. For those venturing into the reef and rex,

22
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,280
the conditions are ideal. The reef is particularly active this

23
00:01:15,359 --> 00:01:18,319
time of year, and the res are offering great opportunities

24
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,000
for deeper fishing. If you're looking to target tarpin, keep

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,120
an eye out as the first hints of their migration

26
00:01:24,239 --> 00:01:27,879
are starting to show, especially in the warmer days of February.

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,920
When it comes to lures, I always recommend using what

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,439
the fish are accustomed to seeing. For snappers, the DOA

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,599
shrimp and CKL shad tail are top choices. The three

30
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,359
inch cl shad tail rigged with a quarterrot's short shank

31
00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:46,920
jighead is excellent for searching out fish in various depths

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,120
and currents. For a more subtle approach, the doa shrimp,

33
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,840
especially the three inch and four inch versions, are highly

34
00:01:54,879 --> 00:01:57,519
effective when fished with a straight knot to mimic the

35
00:01:57,599 --> 00:02:02,280
natural movement of shrimp. If you prefer live bait, shrimp

36
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:05,959
and pilchards are always winners in these waters. However, with

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,120
the right artificial lures, you can avoid the hassle of

38
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:13,159
bait and still land some impressive catches. For hotspots, I

39
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,919
recommend checking out the reefs around Key West. The back

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,199
country and shallow gulf wrecks are also producing well, especially

41
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,360
after the cool fronts that have been sweeping through. Another

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,800
spot worth mentioning is the Content Keys area, where the

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,919
tidal changes can bring in a variety of fish species.

44
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,080
In summary, today is shaping up to be a great

45
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,039
day for fishing in the Florida Keys. With the right

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,599
lures and a bit of local knowledge, you're set for

47
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,719
a successful day on the water. So grab your gear,

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,759
head out and enjoy the beautiful Florida Keys fishing experience,
