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

00:00:02,879 --> 00:00:05,719
Miami and here is what is bending our rods today

for December twenty sixth, twenty twenty four in the Florida

00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,359
Keys In Miami, the fishing scene is looking promising despite

5
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:17,199
the holiday season tides in weather today in the Content

00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,719

12

five feet. Sunrise is at seven o eight a m

14
00:00:38,799 --> 00:00:42,439
and sunset is at five forty five pm. The weather

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,159
has been relatively calm after some windy days earlier in

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,719
the week, making it more favorable for fishing. However, be

17
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:51,880
prepared for potential cold fronts that can affect fish behavior.

18
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:56,600
Fish activity in the backcountry and creeks. Anglers have been

19
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:00,520
catching a variety of species. Yesterday, there were good catches

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,359
of snook, redfish, drum and sheep shed using shrimp as bait.

21
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:08,359
These fish were active, especially in the morning hours when

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,680
the waters were calmer. Offshore, there have been reports of

23
00:01:12,799 --> 00:01:16,799
large redfish and black drum. The key to success has

24
00:01:16,879 --> 00:01:19,879
been moving around and trying different tactics, as the fish

25
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,760
were not biting aggressively in every spot. Best lures in

26
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:26,799
bait for backcountry fishing, shrimp has been the go to bait,

27
00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,439
yielding a solid bite for snook, redfish and drum. For

28
00:01:30,519 --> 00:01:33,680
offshore fishing, using larger baits like jigs or cut bait

29
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:38,120
can attract the bigger redfish and black drum hot spots.

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,319
One of the hot spots has been the creeks in

31
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,280
backcountry areas where the fish are seeking shelter and feeding

32
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,599
on shrimp. Offshore areas around the reefs and deeper waters

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,040
have been productive for larger species like redfish and black drum.

34
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,680
Given the tidal patterns, morning and late afternoon trips are

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,000
recommended for the best results. Be prepared to move around

36
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,719
to find the active fish and don't hesitate to switch

37
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,400
tactics if the bite is slow. With the upcoming cold front,

38
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,120
fish activity might increase as the waters cool down. Overall,

39
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,800
it's a good time to get out on the water

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,639
in the Florida Keys in Miami with a variety of

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,560
fish species available and favorable tidal conditions. And that is
