"Fishing Report: Monster Tarpon, Bonefish Bonanza, and Offshore Action in the Florida Keys"
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for March 12, 2025.
Sun's up at 7:33 AM and sets at 7:28 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather's looking primo - mostly sunny skies with a high near 80°F and light easterly winds around 10 mph. Perfect conditions to hit the water!
Tides are running about average for this time of year. We've got a high tide around 10:15 AM and a low tide coming in at 4:30 PM. That incoming tide in the afternoon should really get the fish moving.
Speaking of fish, the bite has been on fire lately! Anglers have been hauling in some monster tarpon in the 80-100 pound range, especially around the bridges and channels. The flats have been producing good numbers of bonefish and permit too. Offshore, the mahi mahi and blackfin tuna action has been steady.
For lures, you can't go wrong with a 3-inch paddletail swimbait in pearl white or chartreuse for the flats. The tarpon have been crushing DOA Baitbusters and Hogy Protail Eels. If you're heading offshore, cedar plugs and small feathers are your best bet for the mahi.
Live bait is always a solid choice too. Pilchards, pinfish, and blue runners have all been producing. For the flats, live shrimp under a popping cork is hard to beat.
As for hot spots, the Seven Mile Bridge has been on fire for tarpon. The flats around Islamorada are holding good numbers of bonefish. If you're looking to get offshore, try the humps south of Marathon for tuna and mahi.
Remember to practice catch and release, especially with those big tarpon. Tight lines, everyone!
