 Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for this fine Wednesday morning, May 21, 2025.

The summer pattern is really taking hold now, and we're seeing some fantastic action throughout the region. Captain Ridge Murphy's latest report confirms that the Keys are heating up, with plenty of activity on both the Atlantic and Gulf sides[1].

This week has been outstanding for "meat fish" as the locals call it. Blackfin tuna and kingfish have been hitting hard, especially during early morning and late evening hours. Several charter boats have reported kingfish in the 30+ pound range, making for some exciting fights on light tackle[3]. These toothy predators are explosive when they bite, so keep those wire leaders handy!

The transition to summer weather patterns means we're enjoying calmer seas with lighter winds than we saw earlier in the year. Perfect conditions for getting out there! Water temperatures are climbing into the upper 70s, which has really activated the reef fish as well[3].

Don't forget that grouper season opened on May 1st, and there's still some nice amberjack hanging around the shipwrecks. The mutton snapper bite has been decent this month but should get even better in the coming weeks[3].

For the offshore crowd, we're starting to see more mahi mahi showing up, with reports coming in from Key West of nice catches on recent trips[5]. Occasional wahoo are in the mix too, adding to the excitement.

Best baits right now? Live pilchards are working great for the reef bite, while goggle eyes and blue runners are your ticket for the bigger pelagics. If you're throwing artificials, try diamond jigs for the kingfish and bucktail jigs tipped with squid for the snappers.

Hot spots to check out include the edge in 120-160 feet off Key Largo, where the bite has been consistent all week. Another productive area has been the Marathon humps for those willing to make the run out. Inshore, try the flats around Lower Matecumbe for some great action on permit and bonefish.

The tides are running strong with a high at 9:32 AM and low at 3:46 PM today. Sunrise was at 6:36 AM and we'll see sunset at 8:12 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water.

The weekend forecast looks mighty fine with winds around 5-10 knots and seas 1-2 feet, so now's the time to get out there and wet a line!

Remember folks, keep what you'll eat and release the rest. This is Artificial Lure signing off from the Florida Keys. Tight lines and see you on the water!
