00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: This is artificial lore coming to you with your South

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,200
Florida and Keys fishing report. We've got a classic winter

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,960
pattern setting up. According to the National Weather Service marine

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,679
forecast out of Miami, bis Game Bay and the Atlantic

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,000
from Miami down toward Ocean, reef are running light to

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:23,160
moderate east southeast winds five fifteen knots seize one three

7
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,280
feet with just a light shop on the bay. That's

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,760
friendly water for just about any skiff or center console

9
00:00:30,239 --> 00:00:33,439
down the island. Chain tides are moving enough to fire

10
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,039
up the bite. Tide forecast Key West tables show a

11
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,359
pre dawn high just under a foot, dropping to a

12
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:44,119
low mid morning, then building again to an afternoon high

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,560
around one point three feet and an evening low just

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,240
before midnight. Sunrise in the Lower Keys is right around

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,679
seven thirteen am with sunset just before six pm, so

16
00:00:55,759 --> 00:00:58,679
you've got solid low light windows at dawn and last

17
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:02,679
light to work those edges. Farmers Almanac pegs this morning

18
00:01:02,719 --> 00:01:05,439
as a poor bite on the Solliner chart, but the

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,079
local truth is different. Winter water temps and clean water

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,920
are trumping that with Florida Fish and Wildlife's latest red

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,640
tide status showing no corini of Brevis. On the Atlantic side.

22
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:19,840
Water quality from Miami down through the Keys has been

23
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:24,120
good and fish have been showing inshore around Biscany Bay

24
00:01:24,159 --> 00:01:28,400
and Upper Keys flats. Locals are bending rods on speckled trout,

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,439
mangrove snapper, and a mix of jacks and ladyfish. A

26
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:35,680
few bonefish and permit have been pruising the warmer shallow

27
00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:39,680
spots midday On the ocean side flats. Best bets there

28
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,319
are shrimp tip jigheads, small white or pearl paddle tails

29
00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,519
on one ahound jigheads and live shrimp under a popping

30
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,640
cork along channel edges. For bones and permit, think small

31
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,719
panker tan shrimp patterns or skimmer jigs with a live

32
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,319
shrimp around the bridges from Key Largo to Marathon. The

33
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:01,599
winter mutton and mangrove snapper bite has been steady. Live shrimp,

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480
small pilchards and cut ballyhue or squid on a knocker

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,479
rig will put meat in the box at night. Free

36
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,240
line shrimp around the shadow lines is turning up snook

37
00:02:11,319 --> 00:02:13,719
and the odd tarpin when the water bumps up a

38
00:02:13,719 --> 00:02:17,319
degree or two offshore of the Keys, recent charter chatter

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,520
has been all about sailfish, blackfin tuna and schooley dolphin.

40
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,800
When the blue water pushes in tight slow trolled goggle

41
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,400
eyes or pilchards on circle hooks off the edge of

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,159
the reef are still king for sales. For tunas, work

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,520
small seedlar plugs, feather jigs and pink white or blue

44
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,960
white and live pilchards over the humps dolphin or pounce

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,240
dolphin or pouncing on small skirty ballyhoo and bright dolphin

46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,719
colored troll and lures. When you find birds and scattered

47
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:47,080
weed closer the Miami fish. The north end of Biscayme

48
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,800
Bay for sea trout and mangroves with doa shrimp, shrimp

49
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,319
and new penny or white and live shrimp on a

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,759
one quarter out's jake. The government cut and haulover jetties

51
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,639
are holding mackerel jacks and a few tarpin silver spoons,

52
00:03:00,759 --> 00:03:04,879
greenback decks, wraps and live pilchards or threadfin on long

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,479
flour of carbon leaders will get crushed. Couple of hotspots

54
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,080
to circle the flats and channels around Islamaradas, Snake Creek

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,439
and whale harbor. Great mix of trout snappers, jacks, and

56
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,439
shots at bonefish when the sun gets up the Key

57
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:24,400
West Harbor and northwest channel edges, action on jacks, mackerel, snapper,

58
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,800
and shots of permit and tarpon on the right tide.

59
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,919
In short, bring live shrimp, pilchreds if you can find them,

60
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,719
a selection of three four inch soft plastics, silver spoons,

61
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,240
and a few trolling feathers or small skirts. Work moving

62
00:03:39,319 --> 00:03:42,879
water around the morning and afternoon tide changes and you'll

63
00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:45,879
stay busy. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to
