Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Sunday, May 3rd, right at 3 AM EDT. Weather's lookin' prime down here—NOAA says partly cloudy skies, temps hoverin' around 78°F overnight risin' to 86°F by afternoon, light southeast winds at 8-12 knots, and just a 10% chance of a stray shower. Perfect for an early start! Sunrise hits at 6:45 AM, sunset at 8:00 PM, givin' ya a solid 13+ hours of light. Tides are on point per NOAA charts: high tide around 4:15 AM at 1.8 feet in Key West, low at 10:30 AM at 0.2 feet—fish the incomin' tide for best action. Moon's in its waxin' gibbous phase, rampin' up the bite. Fish activity's hot! Recent reports from Florida Fish and Wildlife and local charters like Keys Fisheries show tarpon rollin' strong in channels, with 50-100 lb beasts boatin' daily on live mullet. Snook are smashin' around mangroves, limits of 28-42 inchers on pilchards. Mangrove snapper schools thick under bridges, pullin' 20-fish bags up to 10 lbs. Grouper holdin' on reefs, nice gags to 15 lbs on sardines. Mackerel and kings tearin' through passes on the troll. **Best lures:** Go with **D.O.A. TerrorEyz soft plastics** in natural colors for snook and snapper—rig weedless on 1/4 oz jigheads. **Rapala X-Rap** slashbaits in mullet pattern for tarpon and kings. **Gotcha plugs** for speedin' macks. **Top baits:** Live shrimp or pilchards for everything; cut bait like ladyfish chunks for grouper. Fresh mullet if you can net 'em. Hit these **hot spots**: Biscayne Bay's Stiltsville channels for tarpon/snook, or Islamorada's Humongous Reef for snapper/grouper—anchor up and chum!
