Florida Keys & Miami Fishing Report - December 2nd, 2025

Good morning, folks! This is Artificial Lure, your local fishing expert, bringing you today's Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025. Let's start with the tides. Up in North Miami Beach, we're looking at some excellent conditions. High tide hit at 6:47 AM at 3.6 feet, with a low tide coming in around 12:52 PM at just 0.4 feet. Down in the Keys at Ponce Inlet, we've got a high tide at 8:40 AM running 3.66 feet and a low at 2:15 AM at negative 0.48 feet. Key West is running similar patterns with highs in the 2.1 to 2.2 foot range. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 104 to 106—that's very high activity, folks. Perfect for moving baitfish and aggressive feeding. Weather-wise, the Keys are looking gorgeous. We're seeing steady low 80s down to low 70s today through the weekend. Only a 10% chance of showers, so you can leave the rain gear at home. Sunrise was around 6:50 AM, and you've got until about 5:30 PM before the sun dips out. For fish activity, this is prime time. With these strong tides and excellent solunar coefficients, expect snapper, grouper, and permit to be on the bite hard. The baitfish are active with mullet, pilchards, and live shiners running thick through the deeper channels. Throw topwater plugs early and late—the snook and tarpon love that action. For deeper work, go with live mullet under a popping cork, and don't sleep on cut bonito for grouper. Hit up Islamorada's deeper flats and channels where the bait is schooling up. Also check out the mangrove edges around Upper Matecumbe Key—that's where the snapper are stacking right now. Thanks for tuning in to the report! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates.
