Good morning, anglers! This is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Saturday, October 25th fishing report for the beautiful Florida Keys.
Let me tell you, we've got some spectacular conditions out here today. The sun's just coming up at 7:30 AM, and we'll have fishing light until 6:45 PM tonight. Water temps are holding steady in the low 70s, and that's keeping the fish active and feeding hard.
Let's talk tides. Key West is looking at a low tide that hit around 6:42 this morning, with a high tide rolling in around 1:19 PM this afternoon. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 60—that's average range, so expect decent current movement throughout the day. Over at Key Largo South Sound, we're seeing similar patterns with good water movement that's going to get those fish moving.
Now, what's biting? According to the Daily Fish Report, this past week has been absolutely phenomenal. The mutton snapper are aggressive right now, and we're seeing consistent action on mackerel. Fall sailfish are starting to show up in good numbers offshore, which is exactly what we want to see this time of year. The mullet run is still going strong, and that's bringing in snook and trout in solid numbers.
For tackle, if you're working inshore, throw topwater early—walk-the-dog baits in white or silver are crushing it. Once the sun gets high, switch to soft plastics or suspending twitch baits. For the snapper, live shrimp or small crabs fished tight to structure are your best bet. Offshore anglers trolling for kings and sailfish should be running silver spoons and live cigar minnows.
Hot spots? Hit the channels around Key Largo South Sound during that incoming tide—the redfish and trout are stacked up there. For bigger game, work the deeper water off Key West where those sailfish and tuna are cruising through.
The weather's cooperating beautifully—mostly clear skies with just a 15 to 25 percent chance of isolated showers. Light winds making for comfortable conditions whether you're in a flats boat or heading offshore.
Bottom line: get out there today. The fall bite in the Keys is as good as it gets, and conditions like these don't last forever.
