Keys Fishing Report: Snook, Grouper, and Tidal Conditions for a Productive Day

# Florida Keys Fishing Report - Monday, November 17th Well hey there, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Monday morning fishing report for the Florida Keys and Miami area. Let's dive right into what's happening out on the water today. **Tidal Conditions** We're looking at some decent tidal movement this morning. Over in Key West, you've got a low tide at 1:43 AM already passed us, with a high tide hitting around 8:31 AM at about 1.59 feet. Up in the Miami Beach area, we're seeing that high tide around 12:20 PM at roughly 3.0 feet, with a low earlier this morning around 6:08 AM. If you're fishing the Long Key Bight area, expect a low around 1 AM and highs building throughout the day. The tidal coefficient is sitting at a solid 70, which means good amplitude and excellent feeding windows for our gamefish. **Light and Weather** Sunrise this morning came in around 6:44 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 5:39 PM, so you've got a solid fishing day ahead of you. The moonrise is at 4:26 AM and moonset at 3:55 PM. That's plenty of daylight to work with. **Recent Catch Reports** The action has been strong lately! Just this past weekend, anglers reported landing snook right minutes from the dock—beautiful fish. We're also seeing red grouper, gag grouper, and mangrove snapper coming to the boat consistently. These are quality species that are definitely active right now. **What to Throw** For the snook and grouper, you'll want to work with live bait like mullet and pilchards—these are producing solid results. If you're working artificials, focus on shrimp patterns and small baitfish imitations around structure and channels. Topwater early and late is always money in the Keys. **Hot Spots** Channel Key on the west side is absolutely firing right now with consistent tide movement and good structure. Pepperfish Keys is another solid choice with excellent current flow today that should push baitfish and attract the predators. Thanks so much for tuning in, everyone!
