Stay in the shade as long as possible and avoid being outside during midday hours. The effects of Water Temperature
Fish are cold blooded, which means their metabolism is strongly influenced by the temperature of their surrounding environment. Fish want to stay comfortable. Consequently, even a small change or break will cause fish to move from one location to another.
In general, this behavior varies for each species and place, so we can not specify an ideal water temperature, however as a general rule we will try to avoid the temperatures abnormally cold in summer and too warm in winter. Remember, look for the comfort zones and you will find the fish.
At this moment the current water temperature in Channel Two, East (Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) is -. The average water temperature in Channel Two, East (Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) today is -.
We consider the waves in the open sea.
The waves you will find on the shore can be slightly affected by the orientation of the coastline and the seabed of the beaches, although in most cases they are usually equivalent.
Today Tuesday, 7th of April of 2020, the sun rose in Channel Two, East (Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) at 7:08 am and sunset was at 7:43 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide was at 3:01 am and the next low tide at 3:20 pm. The first high tide was at 9:22 am and the next high tide will be at 10:01 pm.
Today we had 12 hours and 35 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:25 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 113. With such a high coefficient we will have big tides and the currents will also be very evident. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 116. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 116.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Channel Two, East (Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay) which is of 2.3 ft and a minimum height of -0.3 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of April of 2020.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Channel Two, East (Lower Matecumbe Key, Florida Bay), forecast in April.
Large coefficients indicate important high and low tides; major currents and movements usually take place on the sea bed. But bear in mind that this tidal amplitude may be greatly affected by the weather and you should also consult the weather forecast in Channel Two, East, the wind in Channel Two, East and the surf forecast in Channel Two, East before you go fishing.
