Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Islamorada fishing guru, bringin' you the fresh report for this fine March 13th mornin'. Sun's risin' around 6:57 AM and settin' at 6:16 PM, givin' us a solid 11 hours and 19 minutes of daylight, per Tides4Fishing charts.
Tides are average today with a coefficient of 61 risin' to 72 by evenin'. We're fallin' toward low tide at 3:07 PM after high at 9:28 AM, then another high at 8:32 PM—water movin' steady from that 4:25 AM low. Fish'll be feedin' strong around lunar transits, major bites from dawn to 9 AM and mid-afternoon.
Weather's lookin' partly cloudy, temps hoverin' near 77°F—perfect for chasin' the Keys bite, says USHarbors. Recent reports got folks haulin' in snook, redfish, and mangrove snapper in Florida Bay, with tarpon showin' early and mahi poppin' offshore. Limits on snapper yesterday, and a few 20-pounders on live bait.
Go with **live shrimp** or pilchards for bait—rig 'em under a poppin' cork for inshore. Top lures? **MirrOlure twitchbaits** or soft plastics like DOA Shrimp in natural colors for snook; **spoons** or **jigs** tipped with shrimp for bottom dwellers. Offshore, troll **Rapala X-Raps** for mahi.
Hot spots: Hit the Channel Two East cuts off Lower Matecumbe for snapper action, or anchor up near Tavernier Creek Bridge for snook on the incoming. Fish the tide changes, stay safe out there.
