Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for March 21, 2025.Sun's up at 7:23 AM and sets at 7:32 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with. Weather's looking prime - partly cloudy skies, temps in the mid-70s, and a light breeze from the east at 10-15 knots. Water temp's sitting pretty at 75°F.Tides are running about average for this time of year. We've got a high tide around 10:30 AM and another at 10:45 PM, with lows at 4:15 AM and 4:30 PM. That incoming tide in the morning should get the fish moving.Now, let's talk fish. Tarpon season is just kicking off, with some early arrivals already being spotted around the bridges and channels. A few lucky anglers have landed some in the 80-100 pound range using live crabs and pinfish. If you're into artificials, try tossing a 3-inch NLBN paddle tail or a MirrOlure 7M in chartreuse.Permit fishing has been red hot on the flats. Folks are having luck with live crabs or small jigs tipped with shrimp. For you artificial enthusiasts, a Hogy Soft Plastic Jerk Bait in bone color has been doing the trick.Offshore, the mahi bite is starting to pick up. Most catches have been in the 10-20 pound range, with a few gaffers mixed in. Trolling ballyhoo or rigged squid has been the ticket, but don't overlook a blue and white Ilander lure if you're after the big boys.Reef fishing remains steady with plenty of yellowtail and mangrove snapper coming over the rails. Fresh cut bait or live shrimp on a knocker rig is hard to beat, but if you're throwing lures, try a Hogy Epoxy Jig in the 1-2 oz range.For you sharpies looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Alligator Reef Light for some stellar yellowtail action, or hit up the bridges around Islamorada for tarpon as the tide starts moving. If you're in the Miami area, don't sleep on Government Cut - the snook fishing has been on fire lately.Remember, folks - respect the resource, practice catch and release when you can, and tight lines!This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
