# Artificial Lure's Florida Keys & Miami Fishing Report - December 4th, 2025
Hey folks, it's Artificial Lure coming to you live this Thursday morning with your daily fishing update for the Florida Keys and Miami area.
Let's talk conditions. We're looking at low tide hitting Key West at 2:44 AM this morning with a height of negative 0.45 feet, and high tide rolling in around 9:49 AM at 1.27 feet. Over in Key Largo, you're seeing low tide at 6:52 AM hitting 0.82 feet. These are decent tidal swings if you time it right for your fishing window.
The bite has been absolutely consistent lately across our waters. Reports from recent weeks show Kingfish are firing early in the mornings – I'm talking the big ones that'll make your reel sing. Mid-day, the monster Amberjacks are showing up strong, and Barracudas? They're everywhere right now. You can't throw a line without finding them.
For your tackle, bring those medium-weight rigs and don't sleep on live bait. Fresh mullet and sardines are working phenomenally, especially for the Kings and Jacks. If you're going the artificial route, chrome spoons and shad-pattern swimbaits are absolute killers on the barracudas and amberjacks this time of year.
Here's my two hot spots for you today: First, get out to the deep water channels around Miami Beach early – hit that sunrise window for the Kingfish. Second, if you're willing to make the run down to Key West, position yourself on the deeper reefs once that 9:49 AM high tide kicks in. That's prime amberjack territory.
Water temperature is holding steady around 77 degrees down in South Florida, so the fish are active and feeding. Get out there and put some bend in those rods!
