Speaker 1: This is artificial lure. With your South Florida and Upper
Keys fishing report. Up here around Miami and down through
the Upper Keys, we've got a classic winter pattern, setting
up cooler mornings, light northeast breeze early, then picking up
midday with a little chop outside. The reef skies are
mostly clear with a passing cloud deck and just enough
wind to keep things comfortable instead of glassy. According to
Noah's Miami Beach Tide Station, we've got a pre dawn
high tide around one twenty am, low near seven thirty am,
another high just after one thirty pm, and an evening
low just before eight pm. That gives you two solid
moving water windows the late morning rise and the early
afternoon drop. Sunrises right around seven am and sunset about
five forty five six pm across Miami and the Upper Keys.
So your best bite should bracket those tides around first
light and late afternoon nearshore off Miami and keep biscany.
The reefline's been giving up twelve tail snapper, mutton snapper,
and a few keeper mangroves, with scattered kingfish and benito
on the edges. Local charter reports this week mentioned limiting
out on snapper with ease and steady action on school
size mahee and benito on the deeper edge of the reef.
When the conditions line up down toward Kudjo and Key
West dides are still seeing solid mahe, beanita and plenty
of lobster on the structure and patch reefs, which usually
means the keys reef bite overall is healthy. Inshore around
Biscayne Bay and the backcountry keys, look for sea trot, mangroves, jacks,
and a few slot snook and reds on the flats
and channel edges, especially where that midday incoming tide pushes
over warm mud and mangrove points. Lore and bait run
down for the reef snapper and muttons. Best baits cut balahou,
squid strips and fresh pilchards on light floor, carbon and
small circle hooks. Add a little chum to get the
yellow tails up behind the boat. For kings, benito and
mahi on the edge. Best baits live pilchards, goggle eyes
and sardines slow trolled or drifted. Best lures small feathered jigs,
trolling spoons and dolphin colored skirted balahou For easterr trout,
snook and reds. Best artificials three four inch paddle tail
plastics in pearl or New penny on one eighth one
fourth ounces, jigheads, gold spoons in small top waters at
first light, live shrimp under a popping cork will bend
rods all morning for trout, mangroves, and Jack's. Couple of
local hotspots to circle on your chart. Government Cut and
the Miami Beach reefline work the seventy to one hundred
twenty foot depths with live baits and jigs for kings,
snapper and the occasional sailfish. The afternoon, falling tied through
the cut can stack up bait and predators. Pock channel
in the patch reefs off Key Larill in Islamarada fish
fifteen to thirty five feet with chum, light tackle and
small baits for yellowtail, mangrel, snapper, porgy and hogfish. Calm
mornings and that first incoming tide have been money number
five playoffs and fifty seven days of tent. If you're
staying bayside, the flats and channels around Key Biscayne, Soldier
Key and Boka Chetah Key are great for trout, mangroves,
and roaming jacks on soft plastics and shrimp. Plan your
trip around that late morning incoming in the afternoon falling tide.
Keep your leader's light and presentations natural, and you should
put together a solid box of fish from Miami down
through the upper Keys. Thanks for tuning in, and don't
