 Good morning from the Florida Keys, this is Artificial Lure with your local fishing report for Sunday, May 25, 2025.

Weather today is classic late May Keys—warm and sunny, with light winds and a touch of humidity. Sunrise hit us at about 6:34 AM and sunset will be around 8:05 PM. The tide’s swinging today with a morning high around 8:15 AM and an afternoon low just after 2:30 PM, so you’ll have solid moving water both early and late.

Out on the water this past week, offshore crews have been scoring mahi mahi in decent numbers, especially out past the reef line. The bite is best around weed lines and floating debris. Most fish have been in the 5 to 15 pound range, with a few gaffers showing up, and the peanut dolphin thick in some spots. Trolling small feathers, rigged ballyhoo, and flashy skirted lures has put fish in the box. If you find birds working or a color change, it is worth a stop.

Inshore, tarpon action is still hot, especially in the early mornings and evenings. The bridges and local channels around Islamorada and Marathon have been holding good numbers of tarpon up to 100 pounds. The bite’s been steady, especially after a tough April, with several anglers reporting memorable fights and big jumps. Best baits are live mullet or crab, but artificials like swimbaits and large soft plastics will get hit at dawn or dusk. Some of the biggest fish this week have come right at first light and again right before dark when the current moves[3][4].

Backcountry crews are seeing nice pushes of permit on the flats, especially when the sun’s high. May is prime time—sight fishing with live crabs or well-cast shrimp imitations has been the ticket. Keep your eyes peeled for tailers around the oceanside flats near Key West and Big Pine; several shops report big fish landed just this week[5].

Snapper and grouper are biting well on the patch reefs and wrecks. Mangrove and yellowtail snapper have been steady, especially on the falling tide. Chunks of fresh ballyhoo and pilchards are top baits. Grouper are hitting live pinfish around structure.

If you’re hunting hot spots, check out the bridges around Islamorada for tarpon, especially Channel Two and Seven Mile. Offshore, run out past Alligator Light and watch for weed lines and birds for mahi. On the flats, west of Key West is prime for permit and bonefish.

That’s it for today from the Florida Keys. Tight lines, watch the tide, and remember—early and late is when the big ones chew. Good luck out there!
