    Tides today got low at 1:13 AM hittin' 0.0 ft, high at 7:43 AM pushin' 2.7 ft, then low 1:48 PM at 0.6 ft, and evenin' high 7:34 PM at 2.4 ft. Solunar activity's average at 69, but them peak times 'round sunrise and sunset mean fish are feedin' steady. Weather's mild for February—mid-70s days, light winds from the east, water temps hoverin' comfy in the low 70s, no cold snaps killin' the bite.

    Fish activity's hot lately, per Captain Experiences reports from Islamorada and Tavernier. Anglers like Ben Trainer and Don Reichert been pullin' limits of yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and porgy on bottom rigs. Offshore, kite fishin' and live bait snaggin' sailfish, kings, mahi, and barracuda—full coolers even in windy spells. Inshore flats 'round Key Largo seein' snook and trout hittin' hard. Amounts? Trips reportin' 20-30 keepers per half-day, with sharks stealin' a few.

    Best lures: Slow-roll suspendin' jerkbaits or spybaits for bass-like patterns in channels, per BassForecast cold-water tips adapted here. Missile Baits soft plastics on jigheads shine. Live bait's king—pilchards or shrimp on light tackle for sails and snappers, says Islamorada Fishing Report pros.

    Hit these hot spots: Tavernier flats for inshore yellowtail, or Islamorada reefs for deep-drop muttons. Troll the edges near Miami wrecks too.

    Rig up, stay safe, and tight lines!

    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to fishing guru for the Florida Keys and Miami waters. It's February 16, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day with upper 70s temps, mostly cloudy skies, and a steady breeze choppin' up the inshore like it's got attitude—Scale House Vibes Edition nailed that yesterday out of Key Biscayne.

Kings strikin' strong, grunts steady on bottom, remoras fightin' fun, bonitas crushin' feathers in 80-120 ft, vermilion snappers droppin' vertical on ledges. Patch reefs near Key Largo yieldin' black grouper, yellow jacks—George Poveromo TV crew boated 'em on Rapala CDs and live bait free-lined.

    Best lures? Bucktails jigged under bridges for Keys action, feathers for bonitas, bright skirts on ballyhoo for mahi. Artificials like swim jigs if you're punchin' but stick local—live bait's king here for snapper, grouper, kings. Shrimp boats colorin' up the bite too.

    Hot spots: Hit the Biscayne inshore flats for cudas and puffers, or run to Key Largo patch reefs and creeks for grouper and jacks—windy days, stay vertical.

    Rig light, 20 lb test, read the water, and lines stay tight. Chess today, fireworks tomorrow.

  • Keys Fishing Report: Tarpon, Bonefish, and More on the Flats and Reefs

    Keys Fishing Report: Tarpon, Bonefish, and More on the Flats and Reefs
    Feb 14 2026
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Keys angling ace, hittin' ya live from the salty air of Miami to Key West on this crisp Valentine's mornin'. Water temps hoverin' 'round 72°F, skies partly cloudy with light NE winds at 10-15 knots—perfect for flats and reefs, no red tide messin' things up per FWC's latest Feb 13 update. Sunrise was 7:05 AM, sunset 'round 6:15 PM, givin' ya a solid 11 hours of prime light.

    Tides today? Low at dawn 'bout -0.5 ft like St. Pete's NOAA chart shows for the region, floodin' up to 1.8 ft by evenin'—means movin' water pullin' baitfish tight to structure. Fish are fired up post-winter; Boatsetter's Feb 13 report nails it—tarpon migratin' early under Seven Mile Bridge, bonefish and permit ghostin' Marathon flats, yellowtail and mangrove snapper stackin' reefs. Offshore, sailfish and blackfin tuna still hangin' from winter runs, mahi pushin' in. Recent charters out of Layton Key and Key Largo reeled lane snapper, cobia, jacks, trout, snook—even a 150-lb shark and tarpon hookups. Limits on snapper, steady action.

    Best bets? Live pilchards or shrimp on light tackle for inshore—tarpon and snook smash 'em free-lined. Artificials? Jigheads with Z-Man Scented Jerk ShadZ or Damiki Armor Shad rigged horizontal, 1/8-1/4 oz, for that baitfish roll—works suspended over reefs per MLF pros.

  • Florida Keys & Miami Fishing Report: Sheepshead, Reds, and Trout on the Bite

    Florida Keys & Miami Fishing Report: Sheepshead, Reds, and Trout on the Bite
    Feb 11 2026
    # Florida Keys & Miami Fishing Report

    Well, folks, this is your morning briefing on what's happening on the water right now in the Keys and Miami area.

    Let's start with the tide situation. We're looking at Miami Beach currently showing water levels rising toward high tide around 12:33 PM at 2.8 feet. If you're heading out this afternoon, that's your window for optimal conditions on the flats.

    **Fish Activity & Recent Catches**

    According to recent reports from Captain Experiences, sheepshead fishing has been absolutely stellar—the most consistent bite we've seen around Florida right now. Redfish have been a close second, especially on these cold days we've been having. You've also got black drum, seatrout, and mangrove snappers active throughout the region. Down in the Key Largo area, guides are reporting solid action on reds, snook, and sea trout on the backcountry. Lane snapper fishing around Layton Key has been steady with good night bite action on sharks too.

    **Lures & Bait Selection**

    For seatrout specifically, jerkbaits like the Rapala Shadow Rap are money right now in winter conditions—you can work them from a foot-and-a-half to four feet of water. Modern glide baits are also gaining traction. If you're targeting sheepshead and redfish, the old-school approaches are working best this time of year—live shrimp and cut mullet remain your bread and butter.

    **Your Hotspots**

    I'd focus on the backcountry flats around Key Largo where guides are consistently finding fish, and don't overlook the deeper hydrilla and grass edges near Miami—the shallow water structure is holding quality fish right now.

    Get out there and tight lines!

  • Keys Fishing Forecast: Offshore Kings Hot, Inshore Snook Hurting After Cold Snap

    Keys Fishing Forecast: Offshore Kings Hot, Inshore Snook Hurting After Cold Snap
    Feb 7 2026
    Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to guy for reelin' 'em in around the Florida Keys and Miami. It's early mornin' on this fine February day, sunrise hittin' at 6:54 AM and sunset 'round 5:29 PM per Tides4Fishing charts. Weather's lookin' calm in the Keys—light winds, partly cloudy, temps in the low 70s daytime, coolin' to mid-50s overnight, straight from National Weather Service marine forecasts.

    Tides today at Miami Beach: low at 3:24 AM (-0.3 ft), high 9:50 AM (3.3 ft), low 4:01 PM (0.2 ft), high 10:00 PM (3.0 ft). Solunar activity's high at 82, so peak fishin' times line up with dawn and dusk—get out there when the moon rises at 2:50 PM.

    That recent cold snap from Jan 30-Feb 3 hit hard, per Bonefish & Tarpon Trust and Coastal Angler reports—snook kills widespread in canals, bays, and estuaries. Tarpon and sea trout stunned too, so ease up on inshore lines. But offshore? Kings are hot! Captain Experiences logs from Delray and Jupiter show 20+ lb king mackerel on blue diamond spoons in 170 ft, sailfish trollin' 120 ft. Yellow jacks hammerin' 5/8 oz Powerswitch Shrimp jigs a mile out in the Keys, kayak boys pullin' limits. Snapper and grouper bitin' steady on cut bait like sardines or live shrimp. Bass pros on Kissimmee Chain swear by frogs like Berkley Swamp Lord over hydrilla mats, ChatterBaits with Zako trailers, and shad-imitatin' crankbaits—those work killer on edges here too.

    Best lures now: frog for mats, 3/8 oz Jack Hammer ChatterBait in green pumpkin or ghost shad, Strike King squarebills for shallows. Live bait? Shiners or pilchards on circle hooks. Punch rigs with creature baits if you find deep grass.

    Hit these hot spots: Biscayne Bay's Virginia Key cuts for snapper on the flood tide, or Keys' Hawk Channel reefs for kings trollin' live bait. Stay safe, check FWC for snook regs.
