Summertime Bites: Mahi, Snapper, and Tarpon Keep Rods Bent in the Keys fishing report coverpicture

July 12, 2025

Florida Keys - Monroe, FL Fishing Report on 12th Jul, 2025

Fishing in Islamorada is on fire this July, with a mix of offshore and inshore opportunities keeping anglers busy. Offshore, Mahi-Mahi are stealing the show. Schools are showing up consistently in 600–900 feet of water, especially under floating debris and weed lines. Most catches are in the 5–15 lb range, but some larger bulls have been landed by early risers running out past Alligator Reef. Trolling small feathers and rigged ballyhoo has been the key to getting hooked up. Back closer to shore, the reefs and wrecks are producing steady action for Mangrove and Yellowtail Snapper. These tasty fish are piling up on the patch reefs in 30–60 feet of water, especially around the morning and evening tides. Light tackle with chum and small live baits is the go-to strategy. Grouper are still in the mix too—just remember the size and bag limits. On the inshore scene, Tarpon are still hanging around the bridges and channels, especially early morning or after sunset. Live mullet or crabs drifted through the current is your best bet for a bite. Mixed in with them are some big Jack Crevalle and the occasional Snook, making for exciting battles around structure. With calm seas and warm temps, now’s a perfect time to book a trip and take advantage of everything Islamorada has to offer this summer.
