March 30 2025 Florida Keys and Miami Fishing Report: Tarpon, Snapper, Mahi and More
Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for March 30, 2025.
We're looking at a beautiful day on the water, folks. Sunrise was at 7:13 AM, and we've got clear skies with a high of 79°F. Winds are light at 5-10 mph from the southeast. Sunset's coming in at 7:36 PM, so plenty of time to wet a line.
Tides are running about average for this time of year. We've got a high tide at 10:23 AM and a low at 4:47 PM. That incoming tide in the morning should get the fish moving nicely.
Now, let's talk fish. The tarpon migration is in full swing, with good numbers being spotted around the bridges and flats. Anglers have been having success with 3-inch paddle tail soft plastics in pearl or chartreuse colors. For you live bait folks, pilchards and pinfish are doing the trick.
Snapper fishing has been on fire lately. Yellowtails and mangroves are thick on the reef, with some nice muttons mixed in. Jigs tipped with squid or small live baits are producing well. If you're after some dinner, this is your best bet.
Offshore, the mahi bite has been steady. We've seen some nice bulls in the 30-pound range being boated. Trolling rigged ballyhoo or small lures around weedlines and floating debris is the ticket. A few early season sailfish have been showing up too, so keep your eyes peeled for those bills cutting through the water.
For you inshore enthusiasts, the flats have been giving up some quality bonefish and permit. Small shrimp patterns on fly or live shrimp on a jighead are your best bets. Remember to approach those flats quietly!
As for lures, you can't go wrong with a DOA Bait Buster for those bridge tarpon. On the flats, a well-presented crab fly or a Gulp Crab on a jighead has been doing the trick for permit. For the reef fish, butterfly jigs and live pinfish have been the ticket.
Hot spots? I'd recommend checking out the Seven Mile Bridge for tarpon, especially on the incoming tide. For those permit, hit the flats around Lower Matecumbe Key. If you're looking to bend a rod on some reef fish, the area just off Sombrero Reef has been producing consistently.
Remember to stay hydrated out there and respect our marine environment. Tight lines, everyone!
