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 Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) is -. The average water temperature in Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) today is -.
NOTICE
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, 16th of October of 2018, the sun rose in Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) at 7:21 am and sunset was at 6:54 pm. In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 2:18 am and the next high tide at 3:01 pm. The first low tide was at 8:37 am and the next low tide will be at 9:16 pm.
Today we had 11 hours and 33 minutes of sun. The solar transit was at 1:07 pm.
The tidal coefficient today is 33, a very low value, which means that there will not be a great difference between high tide and low tide. The currents will also be very small. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 32. The day ends with a tidal coefficient of 33.
We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) which is of 3.3 ft and a minimum height of -1.0 ft.
The following graph shows the progression of the tidal coefficient in the month of October of 2018.These values give us a rough idea of the tidal amplitude in Plantation Key (Hawk Channel), forecast in October.
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 Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) and the wind and wave forecast in Plantation Key (Hawk Channel) before you go fishing.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
The moon set at 12:13 am at 247° southwest. Then, the moon rose at 113° southeast at 2:03 pm.
When the solunar period coincides with sunrise or sunset, we can expect more activity than initially planned. These peak periods are reflected in green. We additionally point out in the chart the periods of greatest activity during the year with a big blue fish on the period bar + info
