2025 Keys Fishing Report: Mahi Madness, Reef Snappers, and Offshore Action
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Wednesday, June 4th, 2025.
Sun's up at 6:38 this morning and we'll have daylight until about 8:13 tonight, giving you plenty of time to get those lines wet. Tide-wise, we're looking at a decent morning push that should stir up some good feeding activity. If you're heading to North Key Largo, expect your first high tide around 8:30 AM with a low coming in early afternoon.
Weather's holding steady with that classic June warmth and light southeast breezes – perfect conditions for both flats fishing and offshore runs without getting tossed around too much.
The big buzz this week is the incredible start to the 2025 Mahi season! After several disappointing years, the Dolphinfish are finally showing up in force. The Shaw family recently placed 3rd in the Marathon Bull and Cow Tournament with a respectable 20.4-pound bull Dolphin caught aboard the Main One sportfish with Captain Alex Lewis.
Offshore action has been fire with a strong showing of sailfish mixing in with those early mahi schools. If you're heading out to the deep blue, don't forget to pack some small feathers or live pilchards – the Blackfin tuna are still holding strong along the edge and they've been hitting both presentations hard.
For the reef rats among you, mutton snapper and lane snapper are coming over the rails in good numbers, especially around the wrecks and patch reefs near Big Pine and Marathon. Several boats are reporting hook-and-cook muttons and even the occasional palometta when fishing the deeper structure.
This week is also the beginning of snapper spawning season, with muttons, mangroves, and yellowtails all starting to aggregate on the reefs. These spawning aggregations can make for some of the best snapper fishing of the year.
Hot spots this week include the wrecks off Marathon for those trophy muttons, and any floating debris you can find offshore is worth checking for mahi. The edge around Alligator Reef has been particularly productive for a mixed bag of pelagics.
Best baits right now are live pilchards for the reef and ballyhoo for the offshore crowd. If you're throwing artificials, small blue/white feathers are crushing the tunas, while squid patterns are getting it done on the reef.
