Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf of Mexico Florida fishing report for Friday, September 19th, 2025.
Starting off, we're catching a beautiful sunrise right around 6:37 AM, with sunset sliding in at 6:50 PM according to Gulf Shores tide and sun charts. Tides today are on the mellow side—look for high tide at 10:52 AM at about 1.4 feet, and a low rolling in at 9:39 PM, just over half a foot. With such a low tidal coefficient—around 42 and dropping—current and water movement will be modest. That usually means fish are a little more scattered, not stacked in the feeding lanes, so you’ll want to work harder for your catch. On the plus side, the weather couldn’t be friendlier. The National Weather Service out of Tallahassee has us with light north winds early shifting southwest, seas at 1 to 3 feet, and smooth conditions on the bays. No strong fronts in sight, just a hint of afternoon sea breeze, so small boaters and kayak anglers can get out there safely.
Now, let’s talk fish. The bite’s leaned late summer, but fall patterns are creeping in. Panama City Beach charters report solid action this week for Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, redfish, and mangrove snapper. Mahi mahi have been showing offshore for those making the run past the 10-mile mark, while inshore trout and sheepshead are busy around jetties and marsh grass. Local anglers off Navarre Pier reported lookdown fish and ladyfish earlier in the week—that’s a sign the baitfish schools are still thick and drawing in a variety of predators.
Bait choice is key with the clear conditions and gentle tides. Live pilchards, finger mullet, and shrimp are your all-around best bets from the beach to the passes—just bump the bait slower than usual to entice a reaction. If you’re fishing artificials, small silver spoons and Got-Cha plugs are bringing in the Spanish and ladyfish under diving birds. For redfish and trout, try soft-plastics on a quarter-ounce jighead—paddle tails and shrimp imitations are hot right now, especially when bounced over sandy potholes or grass edges.
If you’re looking for hotspots, don’t overlook the Mullet Key Channel near the Skyway—there’s been good numbers of mangrove snapper and trout. St. Andrews Bay, especially around the Intercoastal Waterway cuts and Hathaway Bridge, is delivering great action for both slot-sized reds and mangrove snapper. Meanwhile, the edges of Navarre Beach Pier are holding Spanish mackerel on the early incoming tide.
With the manageable weather, gentle swells, and clear water, today’s a great day to be on the Gulf. Just remember—light tackle, keep that bait presentation natural, and make sure you’re adjusting for those lazy September tides.

fifty two am at about one point four feet and
a low rolling in at nine thirty nine pm just
over half a foot. With such a low tidal coefficient
around forty two and dropping current and water movement will
be modest. That usually means fish are a little more scattered,

not stacked in the feeding lanes, so you'll want to
work harder for your catch. On the plus side, the
weather couldn't be friendlier. The National Weather Service out of
Tallahassee has us with light north winds, early shifting southwest
seas at one to three feet, and smooth conditions on
the bays, wrong fronts in sight, just a hint of
