  • Fishing Report Florida Keys May 25 2025: Mahi, Tarpon, Permit & More

    Fishing Report Florida Keys May 25 2025: Mahi, Tarpon, Permit & More
    May 25 2025
    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!

  • Keys Fishing Report: Tarpon, Bonefish, and Snapper Thriving in Summer Conditions

    Keys Fishing Report: Tarpon, Bonefish, and Snapper Thriving in Summer Conditions
    May 24 2025
    Good morning from the Florida Keys this is Artificial Lure with your May 24th fishing report. The summer season is in full swing with hot, humid weather and light winds, making for prime fishing conditions and comfortable days on the water. Today’s sunrise was at 6:38 AM, and sunset will be right around 8:05 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a long outing.

    Tides today are typical May action, with an early morning incoming tide peaking around mid-morning, then turning to outgoing midday. The water clarity is looking good, especially inshore and into the backcountry, helping with sight casting and fly work.

    Tarpon are still the headline act, especially around Islamorada bridges and deep backcountry channels. Anglers have been hooking big fish, with several reports of 80 to 100 pounders landed this past week. Live mullet and fresh crabs are the baits of choice for tarpon right now, but artificial swimbaits and larger soft plastics in natural colors will get it done if you’re persistent. Early mornings and late evenings around the bridges have been most productive for rolling and cruising fish. Expect long, hard fights—many fish are pushing the triple-digit mark[4].

    The backcountry bite has stayed solid with bonefish and the occasional permit making appearances on the flats. Guides in the Lower Keys report good success on bonefish with live shrimp, small jigs, and classic flats flies. Permit are a bit finicky, but if you get a shot, a well-placed live crab or a tan crab pattern fly is your best bet. Several boats are reporting multiple hookups per trip on bonefish, especially around Big Pine Key and Cudjoe Key[5].

    Snapper fishing has been excellent for families and those looking to fill a cooler. Mutton and lanes are being picked from the patch reefs and wrecks with cut baits and shrimp. For those targeting yellowtail, anchoring and chumming on the reef edge is still the go-to method. Snapper action is steady from Marathon to Key West, with some hook-n-cook muttons coming in for dinner[5].

    Offshore, the dolphin bite has been steady, and a few tuna are holding around the humps. Trolling pink and blue feathers, or pitching live pilchards, are your best offshore tactics[1][2][3].

    Hot spots for today include the Seven Mile Bridge for tarpon at sunrise or sunset, the flats off Cudjoe Key for bonefish and permit, and the reef edges just south of Marathon for snapper and yellowtail. Pack plenty of water and sunscreen, and get out early for the best action.

    Tight lines and see you on the water.

  • Keys Fishing Report Buzz - Reds, Snapper, and Mahi on Fire!

    Keys Fishing Report Buzz - Reds, Snapper, and Mahi on Fire!
    May 23 2025
    Hey there, anglers! This is Artificial Lure coming at you with the freshest Florida Keys fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 23rd, 2025.

    Let me tell you, the bite is ON in the Keys right now! The weather's shaping up real nice today with temperatures in the mid-80s and a light southeast breeze at about 10 knots. We got sunrise at 6:37 AM and sunset coming around 8:05 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours to get your lines wet.

    Tide-wise, we're looking at a high tide mid-morning and another in the late evening, with a good outgoing flow throughout the afternoon - perfect for those mangrove edges and channel cuts.

    The inshore fishing has been absolutely fire lately! Captain Ridge Murphy reports the flats are producing some monster redfish, especially during the morning hours when they're tailing in the skinny water. Throw some gold spoons or weedless jerkbaits if you're sight-fishing these beauties. The backcountry waters around Big Pine Key have been particularly productive.

    For you nearshore folks, the snapper bite is strong right around the patch reefs. Multiple reports coming in of limits of mangroves and muttons, with some keepers in the 5-7 pound range. Live pilchards or fresh-cut ballyhoo on a 3/0 circle hook will do the trick. Don't forget to bring some chum!

    Offshore action has been a bit scattered but rewarding for those putting in the time. Mahi are starting to show up in decent numbers, though you'll need to cover some water. Look for floating debris or frigate birds to find them. The weedlines about 15-20 miles out have been holding some nice bulls in the 20-pound class.

    Bait-wise, the pilchards and ballyhoo are thick around the marina channels early morning. A simple sabiki rig will fill your livewell quick. If you're using artificials, can't go wrong with a blue/white Sea Witch for trolling or a 3/4 oz. bucktail jig tipped with a shrimp for bottom fishing.

    Hot spots this week? The reef line off Cudjoe Key has been producing consistent action, and the channels around Summerland Key are holding some nice tarpon if you're looking for a trophy fight. For the flats enthusiasts, the grass flats just north of Big Pine have been holding good numbers of permit and bonefish.

    Remember to release what you don't need and handle those fish with care. Water's warming up so keep your catch cool and clean them quick!

    This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all, and see you on the water!
