Islamorada Fishing Report: March 27th - Tarpon, Permit & Reds Firing in the Keys
Published 1 month ago
Description
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Islamorada fishing guru, bringin' ya the straight scoop on today's action down in the Keys, March 27th, 2026.
Sunrise hit at 7:24 AM EDT, sunset's 7:41 PM, givin' us a solid 12 hours 10 minutes of light—perfect for chasin' 'em. Tide-forecast.com says low at 12:16 AM (-0.14 ft), high 7:36 AM (0.75 ft), low 11:19 AM (0.48 ft), high 6:27 PM (1.54 ft). Coefficient's climbin' to around 49 low this mornin', pickin' up later—fish the incomin' tides when currents kick in. Major bite windows per FishingReminder.com: 6:15-8:15 AM, 6:34-8:34 PM; minors at 1:15-3:15 PM and 11:16 PM-1:16 AM.
Weather's mostly cloudy, mild temps in the 70s-80s, light winds—prime for flats and offshore. Captain Experiences reports tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish, and snook are hot as warm weather rolls in around Tavernier. Recent catches includin' amberjack and sierra mackerel off Islamorada per TripAdvisor boards, plus cobia on inshore charters from OnTheReelChartersFL. Limits on mahi and sails poppin' too.
Best lures? Go with **artificials** like mirrored spoons or jigheads with soft plastics for reds and snook—my name ain't Artificial Lure for nothin'! Live shrimp or pilchards on circle hooks for bonefish and permit. Cut bait like mullet chunks for bottom dwellers.
Hit these hot spots: Channel Five East Side in Hawk Channel for strong currents and permit, or harbor mouths around Islamorada for land-based action—baitfish swarm there.
Get out early, stay safe, and tight lines!
