00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: This is artificial lure. With your South Florida and Upper

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,200
Keys fishing report. Up here around Miami and down through

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:09,119
the Upper Keys, we've got a classic winter pattern, setting

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,960
up cooler mornings, light northeast breeze early, then picking up

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,239
midday with a little chop outside. The reef skies are

6
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,160
mostly clear with a passing cloud deck and just enough

7
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:22,519
wind to keep things comfortable instead of glassy. According to

8
00:00:22,519 --> 00:00:25,399
Noah's Miami Beach Tide Station, we've got a pre dawn

9
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:29,199
high tide around one twenty am, low near seven thirty am,

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,640
another high just after one thirty pm, and an evening

11
00:00:32,679 --> 00:00:36,039
low just before eight pm. That gives you two solid

12
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:39,679
moving water windows the late morning rise and the early

13
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:44,240
afternoon drop. Sunrises right around seven am and sunset about

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:48,200
five forty five six pm across Miami and the Upper Keys.

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,600
So your best bite should bracket those tides around first

16
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:55,600
light and late afternoon nearshore off Miami and keep biscany.

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,840
The reefline's been giving up twelve tail snapper, mutton snapper,

18
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,840
and a few keeper mangroves, with scattered kingfish and benito

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,560
on the edges. Local charter reports this week mentioned limiting

20
00:01:07,599 --> 00:01:11,200
out on snapper with ease and steady action on school

21
00:01:11,239 --> 00:01:14,400
size mahee and benito on the deeper edge of the reef.

22
00:01:14,599 --> 00:01:17,760
When the conditions line up down toward Kudjo and Key

23
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:21,879
West dides are still seeing solid mahe, beanita and plenty

24
00:01:21,879 --> 00:01:25,319
of lobster on the structure and patch reefs, which usually

25
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:29,480
means the keys reef bite overall is healthy. Inshore around

26
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:34,920
Biscayne Bay and the backcountry keys, look for sea trot, mangroves, jacks,

27
00:01:35,079 --> 00:01:37,359
and a few slot snook and reds on the flats

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,280
and channel edges, especially where that midday incoming tide pushes

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,879
over warm mud and mangrove points. Lore and bait run

30
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,239
down for the reef snapper and muttons. Best baits cut balahou,

31
00:01:49,519 --> 00:01:52,840
squid strips and fresh pilchards on light floor, carbon and

32
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,920
small circle hooks. Add a little chum to get the

33
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,439
yellow tails up behind the boat. For kings, benito and

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,519
mahi on the edge. Best baits live pilchards, goggle eyes

35
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:09,840
and sardines slow trolled or drifted. Best lures small feathered jigs,

36
00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:14,759
trolling spoons and dolphin colored skirted balahou For easterr trout,

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,120
snook and reds. Best artificials three four inch paddle tail

38
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:24,159
plastics in pearl or New penny on one eighth one

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,039
fourth ounces, jigheads, gold spoons in small top waters at

40
00:02:29,039 --> 00:02:33,199
first light, live shrimp under a popping cork will bend

41
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:38,280
rods all morning for trout, mangroves, and Jack's. Couple of

42
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,120
local hotspots to circle on your chart. Government Cut and

43
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:45,960
the Miami Beach reefline work the seventy to one hundred

44
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,960
twenty foot depths with live baits and jigs for kings,

45
00:02:50,159 --> 00:02:54,759
snapper and the occasional sailfish. The afternoon, falling tied through

46
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,520
the cut can stack up bait and predators. Pock channel

47
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,759
in the patch reefs off Key Larill in Islamarada fish

48
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,719
fifteen to thirty five feet with chum, light tackle and

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,800
small baits for yellowtail, mangrel, snapper, porgy and hogfish. Calm

50
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,159
mornings and that first incoming tide have been money number

51
00:03:14,199 --> 00:03:17,960
five playoffs and fifty seven days of tent. If you're

52
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,879
staying bayside, the flats and channels around Key Biscayne, Soldier

53
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,080
Key and Boka Chetah Key are great for trout, mangroves,

54
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:29,719
and roaming jacks on soft plastics and shrimp. Plan your

55
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:33,479
trip around that late morning incoming in the afternoon falling tide.

56
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,280
Keep your leader's light and presentations natural, and you should

57
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,479
put together a solid box of fish from Miami down

58
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,520
through the upper Keys. Thanks for tuning in, and don't
