# Islamorada Fishing Report
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing conditions around Islamorada. Let me break down what we're looking at out here on the water.
**Tides and Conditions**
We've got a falling tide this morning in Islamorada. High tide hit at 3:59 PM yesterday, and we're heading toward a low of 0.56 feet. The National Weather Service is calling for northeast to east winds near 15 knots, easing down to around 10 knots. Seas are running 4 to 6 feet with occasional 8-foot sets, gradually subsiding throughout the day. Sunrise was around 7:26 AM, and we're looking at sunset hitting around 6:47 PM—plenty of daylight to work with.
**Fish Activity and Recent Catches**
The Hawk Channel and surrounding waters have been producing solid action. According to recent reports, the area's been seeing good flats fishing activity. We've had some nice catches of redfish, and the structures around Alligator Reef continue to hold schooling fish. The solunar activity for today is moderate, so expect decent feeding windows throughout the session.
**Best Approach**
For lures, focus on topwater early and late in the day—the baitfish are active in the shallows. Shallow-diving crankbaits and soft plastics work when the sun climbs higher. If you're baitfishing, live mullet and pinfish are your go-to options around the deeper channels and dredged areas.
**Hot Spots**
Head out to **Whale Harbor Channel** over at Windley Key—the deeper water holds good structure. **Alligator Reef** itself is solid for targeting reef species when the seas cooperate. The mangrove edges around **Indian Key** have been producing redfish consistently on the falling tide.
