**Tarpon Rolling and Mahi Crashing in the Keys**
Published 3 days, 9 hours ago
Description
Hey folks, this is **Artificial Lure** comin' at ya with your Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for April 27, 2026. Mornin' bite's heatin' up down here in the tropics!
Weather's lookin' prime: expect sunny skies, temps in the high 70s risin' to low 80s, light southeast winds at 5-10 knots, perfect for chasin' pelagics. Sunrise hit around 6:50 AM, sunset 'bout 7:50 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line.
Tides are mellow today per Tides4Fishing charts: low incoming early mornin', high tide mid-afternoon around 4 PM, then droppin' slow. Fish activity's pickin' up on the flood—solunar says fair, but locals know that's when tarpon and snook prowl.
Recent catches? Boats out of Miami Beach and Keys report solid action: 20-30 lb tarpon rollin' off Islamorada, schools of mahi crashin' live bait offshore, snook up to 15 lbs hittin' mangroves, plus keeper mangrove snapper and a few blackfin tuna. M.B. Miller County Pier saw limits of gulf fish yesterday—grouper and sheepshead stackin' up.
Best lures: mirror-image **spoons** or **jigs** in chartreuse for snapper, **soft plastics** like DOA shrimp on the flats for trout and reds. Live bait kings it—pinfish, shrimp, or mullet on circle hooks for the big boys.
Hot spots: Hit **Government Cut** in Miami for tarpon blitzes, or drift the **Florida Bay channels** near Key Largo mangroves—bait pods everywhere.
Rig light, stay stealthy, and respect the no-wake zones.
