Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Islamorada fishing guru, bringin' you the straight scoop on today's action in the Keys. It's February 15th, sun's risin' at 7:25 AM and settin' at 6:48 PM, with mostly sunny skies, highs in the mid-70s, light northeast winds 5-10 mph, and water temps holdin' steady around 77°F. Tides today got low at 5:40 AM (1.1 ft), high at 11:02 AM (3.1 ft), low again 12:02 AM tomorrow (1.9 ft), and next high 8:00 PM (0.6 ft)—fish the incoming around midday for best bites.

Reefin's been hot lately, per Captain Experiences reports from local charters like those out of Islamorada and Marathon. Yellowtail snappin' steady, limits comin' easy on bottom rigs, plus mutton snapper, lane snapper, a few groupers, and even sails on kites or live bait. Inshore's steady too—mangrove snapper, some kings, and cobia showin' up. Recent trips filled coolers: one crew nabbed yellowtail, mutton, and a sailfish February 5th; families haulin' inshore limits early Feb. Activity's pickin' up with solunar peaks alignin' near dawn and dusk.

For lures, my artificial faves are jiggin' with knocker rigs tipped in shrimp or straight metal jigs for yellowtail—drop 'em deep on the reefs. Vertical jiggin' with speed jigs works killers on snapper. Live bait? Pilchards or shrimp on circle hooks for inshore, threadfins for trolling kings. Light tackle's king for the fun fights.

Hit these hot spots: Alligator Reef for yellowtail drop-offs, or the Islamorada Hummin'bird for mixed bags. Bridges like the Old Highway for night snook if you're stayin' local.
