We're looking at a solid day on the water. Sunrise this morning hit around 6:56 AM, and we'll be wrapping things up around 6:17 PM, so you've got plenty of daylight to work with. Tides are running moderate today with highs around 2.7 to 2.8 feet and lows near 0.4 feet—perfect conditions for working the patch reefs and shallow flats around Key Largo and Islamorada. The bite's been hot across the Keys lately. Local guides are reporting excellent action on inshore species. George Poveromo just wrapped a day trip from Miami to Key Largo targeting patch reefs and creeks, landing some beautiful palameo and jack crevalle—those fish fight like crazy, pound for pound. They've also been pulling mutton snapper and black grouper in the shallow waters. For your setup, keep your tackle light—20-pound test and under works great for these inshore warriors. When it comes to lures, you can't go wrong with bucktails paired with Gulp! for flounder and other bottom dwellers. The Rapa CD18 and CD14 are go-to options early morning for getting the skunk off your boat. For jacks and aggressive species, a rapidly retrieved surface plug will absolutely get their attention. If the offshore bite's got you beat, don't sweat it. The intercostal waterway and channels are firing right now. You can fish those even on windy days. Two hot spots I'd recommend: First, hit the patch reefs around Key Largo—incredible structure and consistent action. Second, swing by Islamorada's deep channels where the tuna and permit have been showing up regularly. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Make sure you subscribe for your daily Keys fishing intel.
