Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Keys and Miami fishing guru, hittin' you with the morning report for January 7th. Water's fallin' toward that low tide around 2:49 AM at -0.3 feet off North Miami Beach Newport Pier, per Tides4Fishing charts—next high at 9:19 AM pushin' 3.6 feet. Sunrise kicked off at 6:33 AM, sunset's 5:35 PM, with very high solunar activity makin' evenings prime. Farmers' Almanac calls today fair evenin' bite. Weather's classic winter Keys: light winds, temps in the low 70s daytime, clear skies chasin' off any chill. Fish are active post-holidays—Captain Experiences reports from Miami guides like Ken Diaz and Gavet Tuttle note peacock bass hammerin' in the Glades, plus mahi, sailfish, and wahoo offshore. Nearshore, snook, jacks, and mangrove snapper are stackin' up, with limits on smaller reef species. Amounts? Trips boatin' 20-30 fish days, mix of keepers and throwbacks. **Best lures:** Go Damiki rigs with Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Flatnose Minnow or Jerk Shad on 1/4- to 1/2-ounce heads—Major League Fishing patterns show 'em callin' fish up from 10-40 feet. Football jigs with creature trailers for structure. **Live bait:** Pilchards or shrimp from Cudjoe spots, free-lined or under poppers. Hot spots: Haulover Inlet for pelagics on the troll, and Biscayne Bay channels near Government Cut—currents concentratin' bait balls. Rig up tight, stay safe out there!
