Sunrise to Sunset: Keys Fishing Forecast Jan 7th

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your Keys fishing guru, comin' at ya from the crystal waters of the Florida Keys this fine January 7th mornin'. Sunrise hit at 6:58 AM, sunset's 5:38 PM, with high solunar activity today—fish gonna be feedin' fierce 'round dawn and dusk, per Tides4Fishing charts. Tides in Key West show low at 5:30 AM (-0.4 ft), high noonish at 12:11 PM (1.1 ft), then low 4:21 PM (0.5 ft) and evenin' high 11:17 PM (2.3 ft). Water's fallin' early, risin' later—perfect for chasin' edges. Weather's prime: WSW winds light, highs mid-70s, low rain, straight from Spacefish forecast. No fronts till Monday, so get out there! Fish are active in the shallows and patch reefs. Key Largo reports from FishingBooker got snook, tarpon, mangrove snapper, goliath grouper, redfish, blacktip sharks, bonnetheads, hammerheads, and nurse sharks hittin' hard—colorful catches stackin' up recent days. Winter means they're huggin' protected backwaters, soft bottoms, minimal current, like Spacefish notes for Central FL, but same vibe down here. Best baits? Live stuff rules—pilchards, shrimp, or pinfish from Cudjoe spots. Lures: Jerk shads, swimbait heads like Dirty Jigs Guppy or Berkley PowerBait MaxScent minnows on 1/4-3/8 oz for mid-depths, per Major League Fishing patterns. Yellowtail snapper rigs with candy larva-style knock 'em out too. Hot spots: Patch reefs off Key Largo for snapper and grouper action, and Channel Two east of Lower Matecumbe for flats fish like bonefish and permit. Rig light, 10-20 lb braid, stay patient in the chill. Limits on gray triggerfish in Gulf waters since Jan 1. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more Keys intel!
