Kickin' off Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report - Snapper, Sailfish, and More Biting Strong!

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Monday, January 12th. We're kickin' off with classic winter vibes—cool northeast breeze around 10-15 knots, air temps in the low 70s risin' to upper 70s, water hoverin' at 75 degrees. Sunrise at 6:57 AM, sunset 5:31 PM, per tides4fishing.com charts. Tides in Key West show high at 6:05 AM (0.64 ft), low 10:08 AM (0.45 ft), then high around 3-4 PM—NOAA Tides & Currents confirms similar for Snipe Keys with highs pushin' 2+ ft later. Miami Beach tides mirror that: low early mornin', highs buildin' to 2.5 ft by afternoon.

Fish are active despite the solunar low at 47—snappers, sailfish, wahoo, and sheepshead bit strong last week. FishingBooker reports quality charters haulin' in snapper and big pelagics offshore Miami, while Islamorada reports note hot snapper and wahoo bites on New Year's Eve runs. Deep drop trips nabbed golden tilefish yesterday, per YouTube recaps. Inshore, snook, trout, redfish, and sheepshead holdin' steady from Cape Coral north, Captain Experiences says.

Best lures? Jiggin' with shiny vertical jigs or bucktails for snapper—go 2-4 oz in pink or chartreuse. Soft plastics like paddle tails on 1/4 oz heads for trout and snook. Live bait rules: shrimp, pinfish, or mullet on circle hooks. Trolling Rapalas or spoons for sails offshore.

Hit these hot spots: Islamorada's deep humps for snapper, or Biscayne Bay's Virginia Key cuts for inshore action. Fish the incoming tide post-10 AM for best bites.
