Good morning, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your local fishing report for September 7, 2025, focused on Miami and the Florida Keys.
We started the day with a humid sunrise around 7:11am, and sunset’s coming up at 7:39pm, so you’ve got a solid window for both morning and late afternoon bites. Tides are moving today: expect a low tide just before 3am, then high at around 9:23am, another low mid-afternoon, and back to high just before 10pm over at Sand Key Light. That means moving water throughout the day—prime conditions for fish on the feed.
Weather-wise, the National Weather Service says we’re sitting in soupy south to southwest winds around 10 knots, with scattered showers and storms roaming across the Florida Bay and Hawk Channel this weekend. Expect some chaotic wind shifts, and keep a poncho handy. Waters will run smooth to lightly choppy—a little wind, a little rain, but no dangerous stuff expected.
Now, let’s talk action. The latest from the “Florida Keys, Miami Daily Fishing Report” points to strong catches of mahi, snapper, and tarpon, especially ahead of the summer storms. Offshore boats are hauling in quality mahi-mahi and the golden-tilefish bite remains excellent. Over in deeper water, a few crews reported a swordfish topping 200 pounds and yellowfin tuna pushing the 50-lb mark—tuna action is popping right now!
Nearshore and bridge fishers are reporting good numbers of mangrove snapper, tarpon cruising the channels, and even a few permit showing up around wrecks and flats. The snook and redfish bite has been spotty, but those finding fish are seeing bigger individual catches, especially during the early high tide.
Best lures and baits this week: Offshore, it’s all about trolling skirted ballyhoo, bonito strips, and large colorful artificials like Billy Baits for mahi and tuna. If you’re going deep, vertical jigging with butterfly jigs is nailing tilefish and vertical soft plastics are hot for the swordies and cusk. Inshore, live shrimp and pilchards are the ticket for snapper, while swimbaits and paddle tails in natural colors are getting attention from tarpon and snook, especially around sunrise and sunset. Cut mullet and crabs are still the best bets for permit and big bonefish.
Water temperature’s warm but not scorching, which means fish are staying on the move—focus your effort around those major tide changes and look for current edges, channel drops, and structure. Find the comfort zone, find the fish.
Couple of hot spots to put on your radar:
- **Alligator Reef** just southeast off Islamorada: consistent action for snapper, grouper, and migrating mahi.
- **Government Cut** in Miami: good for tarpon runs, snook near the jetties, and snapper at night.
- **Long Key Bridge:** great for mangrove snapper, plenty of baitfish, and good shots at rolling tarpon if the storms hold off.
Remember, with the higher tidal coefficients today, you’ll get stronger currents and bold feeding windows. Keep an eye on the passing showers; fish often perk up right after a rain band slides through.
