Sizzling Mahi, Ripping Reef Action: Your Florida Keys Fishing Report for June 7th, 2025

Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Florida Keys fishing report for this beautiful Saturday morning, June 7th, 2025. ## Weather & Tides Sun's coming up at 6:24 AM today with sunset expected around 8:21 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours on the water. Tide-wise, we've got a high tide at 5:44 AM measuring 3.61 feet, followed by a low at 11:47 AM at 0.85 feet, and another high coming in at 6:20 PM hitting 4.59 feet. Perfect conditions for those afternoon trips! ## What's Biting Folks, the 2025 Mahi season is absolutely on fire right now! After several disappointing seasons, this year is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory. Bull Dolphin in the 18-20 pound range have been consistently caught throughout the Keys, with the Main Attraction boats reporting impressive catches in early June. The reef fishing has been nothing short of spectacular as we transition into summer. Tarpon are running strong around Key West and along the Keys bridges. It's been so good that charter captains are calling it the "best summer in years" for offshore action. Also worth noting is that snapper spawning has kicked off, with mutton, mangrove, and yellowtail all aggregating on the reefs. These fish are hungry and ready to bite! ## Hot Spots If you're heading out today, I'd recommend trying your luck off Marathon where the Shaw family and Captain Alex Lewis recently landed a 20.4-pound bull during the Marathon Bull and Cow Tournament. For those looking to stay closer to shore, the waters between Tarpon Springs and Boca Grande have been productive according to local guides. Captain Geoff Page has been crushing it in the Sarasota area down to Charlotte Harbor with light tackle on the flats. ## Best Baits & Techniques For Mahi, live pilchards and ballyhoo are working wonders, but don't overlook artificial lures (wink wink) like blue/white skirts if you're trolling. For the reef bite, shrimp and small pinfish are your best bet, especially when targeting those spawning snappers. Fly fishermen should take note that sight fishing for redfish and tarpon has been exceptional, particularly in the early morning hours before the water heats up. Remember, when targeting those bull Mahi, look for floating debris and frigate birds circling overhead – that's your ticket to finding the big ones.
