Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your Keys fishing guru, bringin' ya the straight scoop on today's action around the Florida Keys. It's February 28th, sunrise at 6:44 AM, sunset 6:23 PM—perfect window to hit the water before the lines go slack. Tides today from Tides4Fishing charts: low at 1:09 AM (-0.2 ft), high 6:33 AM (1.5 ft), low 1:41 PM (0 ft), high 6:46 PM (1.5 ft). Solunar's high at 73, so peak bites mid-mornin' and evenin'. Weather's mild, warm front pushin' in, light winds—Captain Experiences reports say reef fishin' consistent good. Fish are chewin'! Yellowtail snappin' steady on reefs, per Alex Harmon out of Summerland Key yesterday—constant action. Groupers showin' too, with Justin Ferrell and Paulie Marchan notin' solid pulls last week. Recent charters bagged sharks up to 100 lbs, more groupers, yellowtail, even inshore hauls on tougher days, like Clifford L. and Rick B. reportin' dinner limits plus extras January end. Best lures? Go stickbaits for distance and swim—62g models crush big game with realistic walk-the-dog. Paddle-tails and topwaters for flats trout and reds, matchin' the hatch with pilchards or shrimp. Live bait kings: shrimp under poppers, mullet or herring free-lined offshore. Hot spots: Reef edges off Key West for yellowtail/grouper slams, and Summerland Key shallows for inshore mix. Time the incoming tide, flip jigs deep. Y'all stay safe, check FWC regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, remindin' ya to subscribe.
