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

00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,360
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today

3
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,480
for January eighteenth, twenty twenty five in the Florida Keys.

4
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:12,960
In Miami, the fishing conditions are looking promising despite the

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,920
recent cold fronts. Tidal report today in Miami, the tide

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,160
is as follows. Low tide at five fifty three am

7
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:23,879
with a height of point at zero two feet, high

8
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:25,839

00:00:25,879 --> 00:00:28,679
two point one feet, and another low tide at six

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,199
twenty two pm with a height of zero point zero

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,520
three feet. Sunrises at seven eight am and sunset is

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,759
at five fifty four pm. Weather the cold fronts have

13
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:43,119
been passing through, but this is also when the fish

14
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600
tend to be more active. Keep an eye on the

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,799
weather as these fronts can kick up the seas fish

16
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,079
activity this time of year. Sailfish and kingfish are biting

17
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:55,000
hotly in the Upper Keys in Miami. Kingfish are just

18
00:00:55,039 --> 00:00:58,039
off the reef, particularly if you're using live goggle eyes

19
00:00:58,159 --> 00:01:02,719
or spoons, rig bollow or drifting with live bait. Sailfish

20
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,560
are active where there are showering schools of bait, often

21
00:01:05,599 --> 00:01:09,359
found where the green water meets the blue. Spanish mackerel

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:16,319
and Sero mackerel are also present in these areas recent catches. Yesterday,

23
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:19,599
anglers had success targeting wahoo in the Bahamas and there

24
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,480
was a notable catch of a two hundred and forty

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,680
pounds swordfish in the Gulf Stream near Miami. In the

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,079
Florida Keys, shallow water flats fishing has been strong since

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,079
the Christmas holidays, with good deep sea action as well.

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,120
Best lures in bait for kingfish use live goggle eyes,

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,239
spoons or rig ballow. For sailfish, live bait is key,

30
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:44,000
especially where there are schools of Baitfish drifting with live

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,480
bait can also be very effective hot spots. Head to

32
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:50,239
the edge of the reef in the Upper Keys for

33
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:52,920
kingfish and look for color changes in the water where

34
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,159
the green meets the blue for sailfish. The Gulf Stream

35
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,840
near Miami is also a hot spot for swordfish and

36
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:04,200
other big game fish. Overall, it's a great time to

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,040
get out on the water in the Florida Keys in

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,960
Miami with plenty of active fish and favorable conditions despite

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,479
the cold fronts. Tight lines and that is it for today.
