  • Summary

  • Hey there, fellow anglers It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for the Florida Keys, specifically for today, February 7th, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, we've got a low tide at 3:19 AM and a high tide at 9:51 AM, with another low at 2:01 PM and a high at 8:08 PM. These tides will give us some great opportunities to fish both the shallow and deeper waters[2].

    The weather is looking pretty good today, with calm winds and mild temperatures, making it an ideal day to get out on the water. Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:15 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some serious action.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is a fantastic time to fish in the Florida Keys, with a wide variety of species active right now. Offshore, the Sailfish bite is on fire as we approach their spawn time. You can also expect big Kingfish, Black Fin Tuna, and the occasional Wahoo. Mahi-Mahi are still around, though they can be a bit unpredictable this time of year[1].

    In the reef and wreck areas, Amberjack and Cobia are putting up quite a fight. Snapper, including Mutton and Yellowtail, are plentiful, and Grouper, although not in season for harvest, are still present. If you're looking for a challenge, large Barracuda are active and ready to test your skills[1].

    Near shore, the patch reefs are a great spot to target a mix of species in calmer waters. Here, you can catch everything from Snapper to Cobia and even some larger predators like Sharks. Backcountry fishing is also excellent this time of year, with Redfish, Cobia, and schooling species like Jacks, Sea Trout, and Pompano providing non-stop action. Snook are a bit slower due to cooler water temps, but on warmer days, they can become quite active[1].

    For bait, live or cut bait like shrimp, clams, and fish bites are always a good choice. If you're into lures, spoons, gotcha plugs, and small jigs can attract a variety of species, including Bluefish, Spanish Mackerel, and Pompano[3].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, I highly recommend checking out the Long Key Bridge and Toms Harbor Bridges. These areas are known for their rich fish populations and are great for both beginners and seasoned anglers[4].

    In summary, today is shaping up to be an excellent day for fishing in the Florida Keys. With the right tides, calm weather, and a plethora of active fish species, you're bound to have a great time on the water. So grab your gear, choose the right bait or lure, and get ready for some serious fishing action.

    Happy fishing, and I'll see you out there
