Gulf Coast Summer Fishing Heats Up - Snook, Snapper, and More - Quiet Please Fishing Report
Artificial Lure here with your June 13th, 2025, Gulf of Mexico, Florida fishing report.
We’re hitting the heart of prime summer fishing along the Florida Gulf Coast. Water temps are up, visibility is good, and daylight hours are stretching long. Today’s conditions are setting the table for one of the best times of year to be out on the water, targeting a variety of inshore and offshore species. Sunrise was at 6:34 AM and sunset will be at 8:20 PM, giving you plenty of fishing time. Tides are running average today, with a midday high and some solid water movement around noon and into the evening—just right for active feeding, especially in the passes and on the flats per Tides4Fishing.
Weather’s classic early-summer Florida: expect warm temps starting in the low 80s at dawn and pushing into the high 80s or low 90s by afternoon. Winds are light out of the southeast, and you’ll see a few clouds building, but rain chances are slim early and only scattered storms late. Always keep your eye out for those pop-up showers if you’re planning to push offshore.
Inshore, the snook bite is hot. Hubbard’s Marina notes big numbers of snook stacking in the passes, around points, and along the beaches during the early and late hours. Live pilchards and pinfish are doing the trick, but soft plastic paddle tails and topwater plugs are absolutely on fire at first and last light. Mangrove snapper are starting to move in around structure, and live shrimp or small jigs will keep your rod bent. Don’t forget about redfish and trout on the flats—MirrOlures and Gulp baits are solid choices, especially working grass edges and potholes.
Offshore, Red snapper are the headliner right now. Captain Experiences reports boats are easily limiting out off Cape Coral and further up the coast, with most fish coming on cut sardines, Boston mackerel, or large jigs tipped with squid. Grouper and lane snapper are also in play—best results on frozen sardines or live pinfish near hard bottom and reefs in 60-120 feet.
For surf anglers, pompano and whiting are still roaming the beaches, especially around the Forgotten Coast. FishBites, FishGum, and fresh shrimp on a double-drop rig are the ticket. As late spring turns to summer, Spanish mackerel start showing up, so keep a silver spoon or Gotcha plug handy for some fast action if schools cruise by.
A couple of current hot spots: Pass-a-Grille and Johns Pass are loaded with snook and snapper in the structure. Offshore, head west of Clearwater or out of Cape Coral to the 70–100 foot range for big snapper and grouper numbers.
