  • Fishing the Florida Keys: Tides, Weather, and Tasty Targets

    Fishing the Florida Keys: Tides, Weather, and Tasty Targets
    Jan 5 2025
    If you're heading out to fish in the Florida Keys today, January 5, 2025, you're in for a treat. Here’s what you need to know:

    ### Tides and Weather
    Today's tides in North Key Largo are as follows: high tide at 2:56 AM and 3:16 PM, with low tides at 8:57 AM and 9:32 PM. The tidal coefficient is high, indicating strong tidal currents, which can be beneficial for certain species[2][5].

    The weather is looking great, with plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures, typical of the Keys this time of year. Sunrise is at 7:08 AM, and sunset will be at 5:45 PM[2].

    ### Fish Activity
    January is an excellent time for fishing in the Florida Keys. The shallow water flats fishing has been on fire since the Christmas holidays, with plenty of action from species like Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit. Offshore, you can expect to catch Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi[1][4].

    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, particularly in the shallows around Key Largo and Key West. Anglers reported catching several Bonefish, a few Tarpon, and some Triggerfish nearshore. Offshore, there were reports of Tuna and Sailfish catches[1][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For flats fishing, fly gear or light tackle with small jigs and shrimp imitations work well for Bonefish and Permit. For Tarpon, use larger flies or lures that mimic baitfish. Offshore, troll with spoons or lures that mimic baitfish for species like Tuna and Sailfish. Live bait such as shrimp, pinfish, or mullet can also be very effective for a variety of species[1][4].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots right now is the shallows around Biscayne Bay and the Florida Keys, particularly from Key Largo to Key West. For offshore fishing, head to the reefs and deeper waters around the Keys where you can find Tuna, Sailfish, and Mahi Mahi. The backcountry waters around Key West are also excellent for catching Redfish and other inshore species[1][4].

    Overall, it's a great time to be fishing in the Florida Keys, with plenty of fish to go around and excellent weather conditions. Enjoy your day on the water

  • Fishing the Florida Keys in January: Tides, Targets, and Hot Spots for an Epic Day on the Water

    Fishing the Florida Keys in January: Tides, Targets, and Hot Spots for an Epic Day on the Water
    Jan 4 2025
    If you're heading out to the Florida Keys today, January 4, 2025, you're in for a great day of fishing. Here's what you need to know:

    First off, let's talk about the tides and weather. The sun rose at 7:10 AM, and you can expect a sunset at 5:48 PM, giving you a good 10 hours and 37 minutes of daylight. The tidal coefficient is average, with moderate tidal movements, which is beneficial for fishing. The first high tide was at 8:55 AM, and the next one will be at 7:41 PM. These moderate tides should help stir up the fish.

    January is an excellent time to fish in the Florida Keys, with several species active. You can expect to find Bonefish, particularly in the shallows from Key Largo to Key West. Redfish are dominant inshore, while Triggerfish are joining the nearshore action. Offshore, you might catch Tuna, Sailfish, Wahoo, and more. Tarpon, though less common in January, can still be encountered.

    Yesterday's catch reports were excellent, with anglers catching a mix of Redfish, Bonefish, and some offshore species like Tuna and Sailfish.

    For Bonefish, use small jigs or fly fishing gear with shrimp or crab patterns. For Redfish, live or artificial shrimp and spoons work well. If you're after Tarpon, try using live mullet or pinfish. Offshore, lures like trolling spoons and jigs can attract Tuna and Sailfish, while live baits such as ballyhoo are also effective.

    Some hot spots to consider include the shallows around Biscayne Bay for Bonefish and Tarpon. For inshore fishing, the west coast of the Keys, particularly around Islamorada, is excellent for Redfish. Offshore, the reefs and waters around Key West are bustling with activity.

    Make sure to check the local weather forecast and tidal charts to optimize your fishing trip. With the right gear and knowledge of the tides, you should have a fantastic day on the water in the Florida Keys.

  • Fishing the Florida Keys in January: Sailfish, Wahoo, and Trout Abound

    Fishing the Florida Keys in January: Sailfish, Wahoo, and Trout Abound
    Jan 3 2025
    If you're heading out to fish in the Florida Keys today, January 3rd, 2025, here's what you can expect:

    First off, the weather is mild, with temperatures averaging around 70°F, making it a great day to be on the water. The tidal report for Key West shows a low tide at 6:04 AM and a high tide at 12:42 PM, with another low tide at 5:28 PM. Sunrise is at 7:12 AM and sunset at 5:51 PM.

    January is an excellent time for fishing in the Keys, especially for those targeting offshore species. Sailfish are abundant this time of year due to their migratory patterns, and you can also expect to find Wahoo, Cero Mackerel, and even some Mahi Mahi if the southeasterly winds pick up. Closer to shore, the Gulf-side wrecks are home to King Mackerel, large schools of Permit, Cobia, and various Shark species. In the flats and backcountry waters, Spotted Seatrout and Pompano are plentiful.

    Yesterday saw a lot of action with Sailfish and Wahoo being the stars of the show offshore. Inshore, anglers had success with Spotted Seatrout and Permit. For lures, use jigs and spoons to attract the attention of King Mackerel and Cobia. Live bait such as mullet and shrimp are excellent choices for targeting Tarpon, Permit, and Spotted Seatrout.

    Hot spots include the shallows around Biscayne Bay for Bonefish and Tarpon, and the Gulf-side wrecks off Key West for a variety of species. The flats around Key Largo are also worth exploring for Redfish and Spotted Seatrout.

    Overall, it's a great day to be fishing in the Florida Keys, with plenty of opportunities both inshore and offshore. Just remember to check the tide times and plan your day accordingly. Happy fishing
