  • Keys Kickoff Tide Outlook: Snook, Tarpon & Permit Bite Heating Up as Water Moves

    Keys Kickoff Tide Outlook: Snook, Tarpon & Permit Bite Heating Up as Water Moves
    Nov 24 2025
    Good morning, folks. This is Artificial Lure, and I’m here to give you the lowdown on what’s happening out on the water in the Florida Keys and Miami today. The tide’s running a little early this morning—low tide hit just after 6 AM, and we’re starting to see the water creep back in. According to Tide Forecast, the next high tide is around 12:55 PM, so the bite should pick up as the tide turns. The water’s moving, and that’s when the fish get active.

    Sunrise was just before 7:24 AM, and sunset will be around 6:44 PM. The weather’s holding steady—mostly sunny, with a light breeze out of the east. Water temps are in the low 70s, which is perfect for snook, tarpon, and permit. The Florida Bay and Hawk Channel are seeing calm seas, so it’s a great day to get out on the flats or run the backcountry.

    Fish activity’s been strong this past week. Anglers around Key West have been hooking up with mangrove snapper, yellowtail, and even a few permit on the flats. In Miami, the bite’s been hot for snook and tarpon near the inlets, especially around dawn and dusk. The solunar charts are showing good bite windows this morning and again late afternoon, so don’t miss those windows.

    If you’re fishing the flats, a white or chartreuse Gulp Shrimp on a 1/8 oz jighead is working wonders for snapper and permit. For snook and tarpon, try a DOA CAL or a MirrOlure Mirrodine in silver or gold—those have been pulling fish all week. Live bait’s always a winner—pilchards, pinfish, and shrimp are getting bites from just about everything.

    Two hot spots to check out: the flats off Big Pine Key are producing some nice yellowtail and permit, and the Newport Fishing Pier in North Miami Beach is seeing steady action for snook and jack crevalle. The tide’s just starting to rise, so get out there early and work the edges.

  • Title: Keys & Miami Fishing Forecast: Steady Action, Diverse Targets, and Tips for Tackle

    Title: Keys & Miami Fishing Forecast: Steady Action, Diverse Targets, and Tips for Tackle
    Nov 21 2025
    Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure reporting from the heart of the Florida Keys and Miami for Friday, November 21st, 2025.

    We’re off to a bright start with sunrise at 7:27 AM and sunset rolling in at 6:41 PM, giving us just over 11 hours of daylight to chase those trophies. Tidal action’s on the lower side today—first high tide hit at 1:45 AM, followed by a low at 8:06 AM and another high at 2:38 PM, wrapping up with a low tide at 8:52 PM as noted by tides4fishing. Tidal coefficients are sitting at 33, so currents are easygoing—ideal for inshore and nearshore hunts.

    Turning to the weather, NOAA reports no tropical disturbances in our waters today. Onshore, the breeze is light and variable with NNE winds around 5-10 mph, and air temps are warming from the upper 60s this morning to about 81°F by mid-afternoon. Water temps are holding near 78°F, perfect comfort for nearly every local species according to Sunny Isles Beach Ocean Rescue.

    Fish activity’s been steady across the Keys and Miami. Recent logbook entries with NOAA Fisheries highlight good mixed catches on the reefs and wrecks—snapper, grouper, yellowtail, and mangrove snapper have been frequent, with some boats reporting solid numbers of keeper-sized muttons and reds. Offshore, dolphin (mahi-mahi) remain active when the currents and weedlines converge, and saw some bruiser kingfish patrol the deeper ledges off Government Cut.

    Best bets for bait today:
    - **Pilchards** and **thread herring** for snapper and grouper.
    - **Live shrimp** and **small crabs** around bridges and channels for sheepshead and drum.
    - Offshore, rig a **ballyhoo** or **blue runner** if you’re gunning for kingfish or sailfish.

    Top artificial lures right now are:
    - **Gulp! shrimp** on a jighead for inshore snapper and trout.
    - **Rapala X-Rap** and **Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow** for working the edges of flats or channels—those hardbaits have been producing action on jacks, barracuda, and snook.
    - Head offshore with **deep-diving plugs** and **chrome spoons**; they’ve drawn attention from speedy kings and the resident Spanish mackerel schools.

    Local hotspots to check out:
    - **Haulover Inlet and Pier**: steady action on snook, tarpon, and mangrove snapper, especially at the outgoing tide change.
    - **Government Cut**: kings are smashing blue runners just outside the channel markers; early morning and late afternoon bites are best.
    - **Boca Chita Key and Ragged Keys**: both hotspots for yellowtail and mutton snapper, and also home to roaming barracuda on the sandy edges.

    Boat and shore guides alike have seen increased numbers, especially with the mild front keeping water conditions comfortable. South Biscayne Bay flats are still holding sea trout and some redfish if you’re sight casting, and the bridges on the Overseas Highway light up at dusk for tarpon and snapper.

    Remember, for up-to-date openings, closures, or regulatory changes, sign up for NOAA’s text alerts—the South Atlantic now has instant messaging for both recreational and commercial news.

  • Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Perfect Tides and Ideal Conditions for Bonefish, Snapper, and More

    Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Perfect Tides and Ideal Conditions for Bonefish, Snapper, and More
    Nov 20 2025
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you your boots-on-the-dock fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami on Thursday, November 20, 2025.

    Sunrise hit at 7:22 a.m. with sunset coming at 6:48 p.m. Over in Miami and the Upper Keys, we’ve got a balmy morning with mild winds out of the east, just enough to put a ripple on the flats—perfect for targeting bonefish before the sun gets too high. With air temps holding in the mid-70s this morning and light scattered clouds, the bites have been best during those cooler windows around dawn and dusk.

    Looking at the tides, Miami Beach showed the first low at 2:01 a.m., then high at 8:19 a.m., another low at 2:25 p.m., and high again at 8:23 p.m.—we’re in a nice rhythm for moving water, which is what gets those fish hungry. Channel Key and west side of the Keys see a low tide at 6:41 a.m., high at 1:29 p.m.—so plan your mangrove snapper and barracuda runs to coincide with that afternoon push when the bait’s getting flushed out, especially around cuts and creek mouths, according to tide-forecast.com.

    Fishingreminder.com has today pegged major bite times at 6:14 to 8:14 a.m. and 6:33 to 8:33 p.m., so if you’re looking to strike gold, set your alarm early or stay for evening twilight. The moon is waxing gibbous, and that’s stacking up well with solunar tables for feeding periods.

    Now, for the action. Reports off charter docks and from CaptainExperiences.com this week have been singing about snook right out the gate near the river mouths, plus red and gag grouper showing in deeper structure. Mangrove snapper are firing, especially in cuts and on patch reefs just outside the national park boundaries. Offshore, yellowtail snapper numbers are strong past Alligator Reef, and the muttons are hitting light pink jigs tipped with ballyhoo or fresh shrimp.

    Best baits for today: Pilchards and pinfish remain king live bait, but if you’re heading out with artificials, tie on the classic gulp! shrimp in new penny or chartreuse, topwater walk-the-dog lures at first light for big jack crevalle and barracuda, or a silver spoon if the water’s clear. For snapper on the reef, nothing beats a chunk of squid drifted back on light tackle.

    Hotspots to check today: First, hit the Haulover Inlet as the outgoing tide pulls baitfish through—that’s a feeding frenzy for tarpon and snook, especially in the shadow lines before sunrise. Down in the Upper Keys, Snake Creek bridge is turning out a mixed bag of snapper and the stray grouper, and patch reefs just outside Channel Five continue to be reliable for yellowtail and lane snapper on the incoming.

    Whether you’re wading the flats for bonefish or running the reef for snapper, today’s one of those days you want to be out as the water’s moving—combine that with ideal moon and weather, and you’re set for a solid haul.

  • Keys & Miami Fishing Report: Mahi, Snook, and Reds Biting Hot

    Keys & Miami Fishing Report: Mahi, Snook, and Reds Biting Hot
    Nov 19 2025
    Good morning! Artificial Lure here with your boots-on-the-dock Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Wednesday, November 19th, 2025. We're waking up to a classic late-fall morning out here, and folks, the fishing is heating up across our waters.

    Let's talk conditions first. We've got no active tropical systems threatening us right now, which means stable weather patterns and predictable fishing. That's music to our ears. The tides are in that sweet spot for late November—check your local NOAA predictions because we're looking at solid tidal movement that's pushing baitfish through the channels and flats.

    Here's what's been happening on the water recently. Our guides across the Keys and Miami have been reporting outstanding dolphin action—these mahi are feeding aggressively on live baitfish. Snook has been solid, especially around structure at night with spinning rods and plugs. We're also seeing nice tuna bites for anglers willing to head offshore. Spotted seatrout and redfish continue to produce for shallow-water enthusiasts, with several guides reporting limit catches of beautiful reds.

    For your tackle box, bring artificial lures if you're sight-fishing the flats—topwater plugs and soft plastics are working great on reds and trout. If you're targeting snook, we love those plug rods. For dolphin, live baitfish under the right conditions will absolutely connect. Live baiting the nearshore Atlantic waters has been productive too.

    Hot spots? Get yourself to some of the shallow flats around the Keys for light tackle action—our guides are crushing it on sight-fishing. If you want to tangle with bigger offshore species, head to the blue water where the dolphin and tuna are feeding.

    Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure fishing report! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's biting across Florida's waters. This has been a Quiet Please production—for more, check out quietplease.ai.

  • Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Dolphins, Snook, and Tuna Bites

    Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Dolphins, Snook, and Tuna Bites
    Nov 18 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your boots-on-the-dock Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for November 18, 2025.

    We’re waking up to a classic late-fall morning in South Florida—**sunny skies, barely a cloud**, and temps starting around 79°F, peaking near 81°F this afternoon. The wind is light, about 5 to 10 mph out of the northeast—just enough to keep the bugs at bay but make the water choppy in the open[MarineWeather.net][Miami Beach Weather]. Expect smooth intracoastal waters and seas under a foot for nearshore runs.

    **Sunrise came at 7:21 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:50 p.m.**—plenty of time to chase bites before dark[Tides4Fishing: Miami Beach Chrono].

    Tide-wise, we had a low at 12:44 a.m. (0.7 ft), hit high at 6:58 a.m. (3.1 ft), see another dip at 1:07 p.m. (0.7 ft), and finish with a strong high at 7:12 p.m. (3.1 ft)—so the bite should spike with the early morning incoming and turn on again toward dusk[Tides4Fishing]. Solunar tables rate today as "high" for activity, so fish should be feeding.

    What’s actually happening on the water? **Inshore action has been solid**—with anglers landing good numbers of **mangrove snapper, sea trout, and Spanish mackerel** on the flats and around bridges. Reports from recent days say snook are cruising the mangrove edges, with best catches on live pilchards and finger mullet, though topwater walk-the-dog plugs and chartreuse jerkbaits are drawing strikes too. Nighttime dock lights continue to produce with shrimp and small paddle tails[Florida Insider Fishing Report].

    Offshore, the big news has been **dolphin (mahi-mahi) still running in 120-300 feet**, trolling rigged ballyhoo or bright-skirted lures. Sailfish are starting to pop up east of Miami, a sign that winter patterns are arriving—try slow-trolled live goggle eyes under kites if you want a shot at a sail. Blackfin tuna have also shown up thick around Fowey Rocks and the Islamorada humps, particularly in the late afternoons—vertical jigs in pink or silver are working, and so are live pilchards dropped deep[Florida Insider Fishing Report].

    Bottom action is reliable—**yellowtail snapper and mutton snapper** biting at the reefs out from Marathon and Key Largo. Squid and cut ballyhoo on 1/16 oz jigs fished with light line is the ticket. Grouper season closes soon, but now there are still keepers around—try large pinfish or live blue runners on knocker rigs.

    A few quick **hotspot suggestions**:
    - **Government Cut** for snook and tarpon early mornings with outgoing tide.
    - **Haulover Inlet** for jack crevalle and mackerel around the rocks and bridges—throw flashy spoons or sardine-pattern swimbaits.
    - **Islamorada Humps** offshore for blackfin tuna and early-season sailfish.
    - **Long Key Bridge** for snapper and sea trout on shrimp-tipped jigs.

    Best artificial lures right now: **silver spoons, chartreuse jerkbaits, pink bucktail jigs, and pilchard-imitating swimbaits**. If you’re chunking bait, go fresh—live shrimp, pinfish, and pilchards are pulling bites, especially around structure.

    Water temps are running about **79°F**, with only a slight chill at sunrise, meaning fish are active but not sluggish[Sunny Isles Beach Cam]. Keep an eye out for afternoon cloud build-up, but showers should stay light and scattered.

    That’s your Florida Keys and Miami fishing fix for the day. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for more local insights. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.

  • Keys Fishing Report: Snook, Grouper, and Tidal Conditions for a Productive Day

    Keys Fishing Report: Snook, Grouper, and Tidal Conditions for a Productive Day
    Nov 17 2025
    # Florida Keys Fishing Report - Monday, November 17th

    Well hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami area. Let's dive right into what's happening out on the water today.

    **Tidal Conditions**

    We're looking at some decent tidal movement this morning. Over in Key West, you've got a low tide at 1:43 AM already passed us, with a high tide hitting around 8:31 AM at about 1.59 feet. Up in the Miami Beach area, we're seeing that high tide around 12:20 PM at roughly 3.0 feet, with a low earlier this morning around 6:08 AM. If you're fishing the Long Key Bight area, expect a low around 1 AM and highs building throughout the day. The tidal coefficient is sitting at a solid 70, which means good amplitude and excellent feeding windows for our gamefish.

    **Light and Weather**

    Sunrise this morning came in around 6:44 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 5:39 PM, so you've got a solid fishing day ahead of you. The moonrise is at 4:26 AM and moonset at 3:55 PM. That's plenty of daylight to work with.

    **Recent Catch Reports**

    The action has been strong lately! Just this past weekend, anglers reported landing snook right minutes from the dock—beautiful fish. We're also seeing red grouper, gag grouper, and mangrove snapper coming to the boat consistently. These are quality species that are definitely active right now.

    **What to Throw**

    For the snook and grouper, you'll want to work with live bait like mullet and pilchards—these are producing solid results. If you're working artificials, focus on shrimp patterns and small baitfish imitations around structure and channels. Topwater early and late is always money in the Keys.

    **Hot Spots**

    Channel Key on the west side is absolutely firing right now with consistent tide movement and good structure. Pepperfish Keys is another solid choice with excellent current flow today that should push baitfish and attract the predators.

    Thanks so much for tuning in, everyone! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports and tight lines out there!

  • Fishing Report: Offshore Tuna, Inshore Snook, and Flats Bonefish in the Florida Keys and Miami

    Fishing Report: Offshore Tuna, Inshore Snook, and Flats Bonefish in the Florida Keys and Miami
    Nov 16 2025
    This is Artificial Lure with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Sunday, November 16th, 2025.

    Sunrise is at 7:25 am and sunset rolls in at 6:59 pm, giving us a beautiful stretch of daylight to chase ‘em down. The winds this morning are a mellow 7 to 10 knots out of the east, seas are running a light chop, and skies are mostly clear—prime weather for both inshore and offshore action.

    Tidal movement today will help you out: In Miami Beach, look for a high tide at 5:31 am, then a low at 11:37 am. That pre-dawn push and the outgoing right before lunch will put those predatory fish on the move. Down in the Lower Keys, the day starts with a 6:55 am high tide, 1:27 pm low, and by 8:05 pm we’re rising again. Plan your launches and flats runs around these windows for the best shot at active fish. The solunar activity sits at average, which means timing that early morning tide and sunset bite will be key based on Tides4Fishing and FishingReminder charts.

    This week’s catches have been solid. Offshore, blackfin tuna are popping up along the edge of the reef in 120 to 180 feet, especially around the Humps. There’s been a steady flow of mahi-mahi scattered under birds and weeds, still pushing through as the fall run tapers. On the wrecks and deeper patch reefs, expect mutton snapper and yellowtail to be chewing, plus the grouper bite is respectable. Closer in, look for mackerel thick around government cut and along Haulover Inlet, and tarpon are starting to stack up in the bridges as water cools.

    Best lures right now: for offshore mahi and tuna, throw bright skirted trolling lures (blue/white or pink/white), and try a vertical jig when marking life deep. Inshore, white bucktails tipped with shrimp will fool everything from snook to snapper on the docks and seawalls. Gold spoons and paddle-tail soft plastics in natural pilchard and mullet colors are getting crushed around the mangroves for redfish and trout. When you’re bottom fishing, fresh ballyhoo and pinfish are catching the biggest muttons, and pilchards or threadfin are money for chumming up yellowtail.

    Live shrimp and cut baits continue to be top options for bridge snappers and mangrove edges. If you’re targeting bonefish or permit on the flats, stick with small crabs or shrimp under natural-looking jigs.

    Hot spots to check today:
    - The Islamorada Hump for blackfin and mahi.
    - Around Jewfish Creek Bridge—solid for snook, tarpon, and snapper on the tide change.
    - Haulover inlet at dawn for Spanish mackerel and blue runners.
    - The flats south of Biscayne National Park if you’re hunting bonefish; the falling tide around midday should put them tailing.

    Remember: early birds with live bait at first light are getting the best numbers, but if you want that trophy, work deeper later in the day as things heat up.

    Thanks for tuning in to the daily fishing rundown. Hit that subscribe button so you never miss a report, and good luck out there—tight lines to all.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy in the Florida Keys and Miami

    Fall Fishing Frenzy in the Florida Keys and Miami
    Nov 15 2025
    Good morning, anglers. It’s Artificial Lure here with your crisp fall fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami waters. Today’s tide is rising in Miami Beach, with the next high tide hitting around 4:43 am and the next low tide at 10:50 am. Key Largo is seeing a low tide at 1:27 am and a high tide at 7:11 am. Sunrise is at 6:38 am and sunset at 5:31 pm, so plan your day around those windows for the best action.

    The weather is holding steady—mostly sunny with light winds, perfect for both inshore and offshore fishing. The water clarity is good, and the tides are moderate, which means fish are moving with the flow. Snook, tarpon, and redfish are biting well along the beaches and around the points, especially near the Newport Fishing Pier and the Miami Beach city pier. Anglers are reporting solid catches of snook using live bait like pilchards and threadfin herring, with some trophy-sized fish showing up in the early morning and late afternoon.

    For offshore action, kingfish and wahoo are making their presence known, especially around the deeper reefs and wrecks. Ballyhoo rigs and weedless squid rigs are working best for these speedsters. If you’re trolling, stick to the 100- to 200-foot depths for the best results.

    Inshore, the flats around Key Largo and the Buttonwood Sound are producing some nice bonefish and permit. Use small, light tackle with shrimp or crab for the best results. The solunar activity is peaking around 6:14 am and 6:33 pm, so those are prime times to be on the water.

    For lures, stick to soft plastics and topwater plugs for snook and redfish, and go with spoons and jigs for kingfish and wahoo. Live bait is always a winner, especially when the tides are moving.

    A couple of hot spots to check out: the Newport Fishing Pier for snook and redfish, and the deeper reefs off Key Largo for kingfish and wahoo. Don’t forget to check the local regulations and respect any marine reserves.
