Thanksgiving Fishing in the Keys - Hot Bite on Mahi, Snook, and Redfish

# Keys Fishing Report - November 27, 2025 Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your Florida Keys fishing report for today, Thursday, November 27th. We're looking at some stellar conditions out on the water this morning. Water temperatures in the Keys are hovering in the mid-60s, which is prime time for our winter patterns taking shape. The tide is running with a low at 5:38 AM and we're heading into high tide around midday, so plan your shallow water flats work accordingly. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The fall transition is in full swing right now. Snook, redfish, and bonefish are all actively feeding in the shallows as they adjust to cooling water temps. Offshore, we're seeing fantastic action on mahi and sailfish—guys are consistently landing limits this time of year. The inshore flats are absolutely alive with baitfish movement, which means the gamefish aren't far behind. **Lures & Bait** For the flats, work shad-pattern lures and soft plastics in natural colors—your 5-inch stick baits are money right now. If you're targeting snook and reds, live pilchards and mullet are your bread and butter. Topwater plugs early and late work wonders too. Offshore anglers should bring their tackle for live mackerel and live bonito—sailfish and mahi are crushing them. **Hot Spots** Hit the shallow grass flats around Islamorada for redfish and bonefish action. The deeper channels between the Keys are holding solid schools of mahi and snapper—definitely worth a run if you've got offshore capability. **Final Thoughts** Thanksgiving Day fishing in the Keys? Can't beat it. Conditions are favorable, the bite is on, and the weather's cooperating for holiday weekend adventures. Thanks for tuning in to today's fishing report!
