 Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure checking in with your Florida Keys report for June 14, 2025. Pull up a chair and let’s talk about what’s biting out there.

We’re smack in the middle of summer down here, and the weather’s been pretty mild lately, with just a few scattered showers and some steady winds—nothing too crazy, making it a great weekend to get on the water according to local chatter and Florida Sportsman’s latest forecast. Expect partly sunny skies, comfortable temps, and just enough breeze to keep you cool. Sunrise around Key West is right about 6:38 AM and sunset rolls in at 8:17 PM, giving you a solid day of fishing[8].

Tides are looking good for the next few days, especially up toward North Key Largo. Saturday’s got a high tide early, low just before mid-morning, and the second high pushing in mid-afternoon. Sunday mirrors that pattern—high tide at 2:55 PM, low around 8:54 PM. That means you’ll want to hit your favorite spots during the incoming mid-morning and the late afternoon for the best results[6]. Over in Key West, the tide tables show a morning high, a brief low around sunset, and moderate tidal coefficients—nothing extreme, so expect steady but not wild water movement[8].

On the fish front, tarpon action has definitely picked up after a sluggish April, with plenty of fish in the backcountry. Most of the fish I’m hearing about are running 15 to 30 pounds, so not the giants just yet, but they’re active and ready to play. Snook are also cooperating, especially in the early mornings. Reef fishing is hot right now, with lane snapper and even some black grouper (catch and release, of course, since season’s closed) coming over the rail. According to local captains, almost everyone’s catching snapper on the inshore reefs and nearshore wrecks—they’re just chewing up almost everything tossed their way[7].

For lures, try a mix of soft plastics and swimbaits for snook and tarpon, especially around mangrove shorelines and creek mouths. For the flats and reef zones, jigs and shrimp patterns keep the snapper happy. Live bait is king right now—big live shrimp, pilchards, and pinfish are irresistible. If you’re after permit, the flats around Big Pine Key are holding fish, and a well-presented crab or shrimp is hard to beat[2].

Hot spots to check out:
- **Islamorada backcountry channels** for tarpon and snook, especially near dawn and dusk.
- **Reefs off Vaca Key** for lane snapper and grouper, tight to structure during tidal swings.

Thanks for tuning in to your Florida Keys fishing report—be safe out there, let’s get that next big one, and don’t forget to subscribe for more local updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
