Sunrise this morning hit at 6:36 a.m. and sunset won’t be until 8:28 p.m., giving us a full 13 hours and 52 minutes to chase those bites. The water is moving with an above-average tidal coefficient, peaking at 70 to 75 by evening, so expect strong tides and currents—perfect conditions for stirring up the bite across both inshore and offshore spots according to Tides4Fishing. Low tide rolled in early at 3:02 a.m., with the next low at 5:24 p.m. High tides crested at 8:49 a.m. and will return at 11:56 p.m.
Weatherwise, it’s classic summer on the Gulf: hot, sunny, and humid, with the possibility of an afternoon sea breeze and isolated showers, so plan accordingly and keep an eye on any passing storms.
Right now, the bite is excellent and fish are in full summer feed mode. Reports from the Gulf of Mexico Florida Daily Fishing Report podcast highlight fish actively feeding nearly all day, with big action starting around the bait pods. Spanish and king mackerel are hot on the beach, and you won’t have to travel far for plenty of action on mahi, blackfin tuna, and even wahoo offshore, according to Coastal Angler Magazine’s June report.
The nearshore and reefs have been especially productive for cobia, black seabass, triggerfish, and red snapper—Captain Experiences and the Southeast Fisheries Science Center confirm solid numbers of these species coming to the docks just this past week. Red snapper and kingfish are biting strong, and gray triggerfish are very active until their brief summer closure kicks in later this season. Greater amberjack is also open and showing great numbers offshore.
As for baits and lures, here’s what’s been working:
- For cobia: Live menhaden or cigar minnows are killing it, especially when rigged on a 24–30-inch wire leader with double treble hooks. If you see free-swimming cobia, keep a 4-ounce jig head with a plastic eel at the ready.
- For spanish and king mackerel: Trolling cigar minnows and Ballyhoo behind Mackahoos and sea witches is producing steady action.
- On the flats and beaches: Small jigs and “Gotcha” plugs for Spanish and bluefish near bait pods.
- Offshore: Ballyhoo and squid for mahi and blackfin, deep jigs for snapper and grouper.
For hot spots, check the edges of major passes like Destin and Egmont, and target the reefs between 5 and 20 miles out of Sarasota and Naples for heavy snapper and kingfish action. The bait pods along the beaches from Tampa to Marco Island are drawing in predators big time. Don’t forget about Boca Grande Pass if you’re hoping to hook into tarpon as they’re still rolling.
