Monday Keys Fishing Report Highlights Tuna, Snapper, and Snook Action

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Monday morning Florida Keys fishing report. Let me break down what's happening out on the water right now. **Tides and Conditions** We're looking at high tide coming in around 11:54 AM here in Key West, with water levels rising nicely. The solunar activity is running high at 70, which means the fish are feeding actively. Sunrise was around 7:07 AM, and you've got until 5:44 PM to get your time in, so plenty of daylight ahead. **What's Biting** The offshore action has been incredible. Blackfin tuna are steady at the Islamorada Hump—anglers are hammering them with trolled feathers and small jet heads, especially during that midmorning bite window we're heading into right now. Mutton snapper up to 12 pounds are crushing live pinfish on the deeper edges and reefs. If you're working nearshore, yellowtail snapper are thick around Alligator Reef—throw shrimp-tipped jigs and small live pilchards at those reef edges. In the backcountry, snook are fired up. We had a 37-incher landed this week, and the mullet and pilchard bait is abundant. DOA TerrorEyz and flashy swimbaits are working great. Redfish are also steady in the backcountry where the king tides have opened up new access—finger mullet and shrimp are producing strikes. Spanish mackerel are active just outside the passes with flashy spoons and gotcha plugs for quick action. Even permit are showing around the bridges for early morning sessions. **Hot Spots** Get yourself to the **Islamorada Hump** for that blackfin action, or work **Alligator Reef** for snapper. The backcountry is absolutely firing right now with snook and redfish. **Gear Up** Bring live pinfish and pilchards—they're working across the board. Have your 150-pound leaders rigged up for anything offshore. Shrimp-tipped jigs and flashy spoons are your go-to artificials. The bite windows are prime this morning with high solunar activity. Get out there and make it happen. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe for your daily Florida Keys fishing intel. This has been a quiet please production.
