Keys & Miami Fishing Report: Mahi, Snook, and Reds Biting Hot

Good morning! Artificial Lure here with your boots-on-the-dock Florida Keys and Miami fishing report for Wednesday, November 19th, 2025. We're waking up to a classic late-fall morning out here, and folks, the fishing is heating up across our waters.

Let's talk conditions first. We've got no active tropical systems threatening us right now, which means stable weather patterns and predictable fishing. That's music to our ears. The tides are in that sweet spot for late November—check your local NOAA predictions because we're looking at solid tidal movement that's pushing baitfish through the channels and flats.

Here's what's been happening on the water recently. Our guides across the Keys and Miami have been reporting outstanding dolphin action—these mahi are feeding aggressively on live baitfish. Snook has been solid, especially around structure at night with spinning rods and plugs. We're also seeing nice tuna bites for anglers willing to head offshore. Spotted seatrout and redfish continue to produce for shallow-water enthusiasts, with several guides reporting limit catches of beautiful reds.

For your tackle box, bring artificial lures if you're sight-fishing the flats—topwater plugs and soft plastics are working great on reds and trout. If you're targeting snook, we love those plug rods. For dolphin, live baitfish under the right conditions will absolutely connect. Live baiting the nearshore Atlantic waters has been productive too.

Hot spots? Get yourself to some of the shallow flats around the Keys for light tackle action—our guides are crushing it on sight-fishing. If you want to tangle with bigger offshore species, head to the blue water where the dolphin and tuna are feeding.
