Crisp Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Solunar Peak, Tidal Trends, Rig Setups, and Hot Spots

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for hookin' 'em in the Florida Keys and Miami waters. It's a crisp February mornin' in the Keys and around Miami—air temp hoverin' near 74°F like South Beach reports from Sibfl.gov, water at a comfy 71°F. Sunrise kicked off at 6:33 AM per Tides4fishing.com, sunset's 5:35 PM, givin' us solid daylight for chasin' bites. Solunar activity's very high today at 92, so expect peak feedin' 'round dawn, dusk, and moonrise at 11:51 AM.

Tides are prime: low at 2:49 AM hittin' -0.3 ft, high 9:19 AM at 3.6 ft, then low 3:21 PM at 0.5 ft, high 9:26 PM at 3.3 ft, straight from Tides4fishing for North Miami Beach Newport Pier and matchin' Tide-forecast.com for Miami Beach. Fish the outgoing for best driftin' action.

Recent catches? Mackerel, snook, and jacks are hot off piers like Haulover and Newport—locals pullin' limits on live shrimp and cigar minnows. Keys side, tarpon and snook took a hit from winter chills per Sportfishingmag.com reports, but cobia, tripletail, and rays are showin' strong sight-castin' with bucktails and topwaters. Amberjack quotas tightened by NOAA to 92k lbs, so they're around but regulated. Bass pros up north swear by crankbaits and jigs in cooler water, and that's playin' out here too—redfish schools holdin' in estuaries.

Best lures: mirror-image crankbaits, A-rigs, Carolina rigs, or white bucktails for reaction strikes. Live bait kings are shrimp, pinfish, and mullet—chunk 'em near structure. Cold fronts got some species slow, but solunars say ramp up.

Hot spots: Bakers Haulover Inlet inside for pelagics on the troll, and Content Keys Passage in the Keys for flats ambushin' snook. Rig light, 20-lb fluoro, and watch them rays for cobia tails.
