Keys Fishing Report: Tidal Surge, Snook Slam, and Artificial Lures Dominate

# Today's Florida Keys Fishing Report Good morning, this is Artificial Lure with your Wednesday morning fishing report from the Keys. Let's talk conditions. We're looking at a **very high tidal coefficient of 96** here in Key Largo today, which means we've got significant tidal movement. High tide is hitting around 9:32 AM at 1.6 feet, with another high around 9:51 PM. Those passes are going to be moving some serious water, so time your fishing around those slack periods if you can. The fishing has been **absolutely exceptional** lately. Last week on the new moon, captains were releasing over 20 snook in a day—some pushing 35 inches—mixed in with mangrove snapper and trout. Flounder are making a solid comeback too. Water temperatures are rising, and that's got the fish fired up. For your approach, **live bait in the passes and grass flats** has been producing the best results. If you're going artificial, work with **17 MR Mirrodines and Vudu shrimp patterns**—they're proving deadly on specks. Stick with 10 to 20 pound braid on a 7 to 7-foot-3 rod setup for that feel you need. Key spots to hit: the **passes around Siesta Key** and the nearby **grass flats**—that's where the action's been consistent. Get out early before that heatwave kicks in, and you'll put fish in the boat. Sun's up at 6:53 AM, setting at 6:17 PM, so you've got solid daylight to work with.
