This is Artificial Lure with your Bahamas and Caribbean fishing rundown. Trade winds staying light to moderate out of the east this morning, 10–15 knots, with seas 2–4 feet inside the islands and a bit lumpier out on the Atlantic side. Skies running partly cloudy with a passing shower or two, and air temps topping out in the mid‑80s. Marine forecasts from the Bahamian Met Office and the NWS Caribbean desk line up on that calm, fishy pattern. Sunrise came just after six, sunset will be early evening, so we’ve got a nice, long light window to work. Tides are on a modest cycle across the islands: an early morning incoming, high mid‑morning, then falling through the afternoon. Bahamas Department of Meteorology tables show high tide around mid‑day in Nassau and similar timing through the central chain, a touch earlier out toward Abaco and a touch later down Exuma and Long Island. That flooding morning water has the bonefish sliding up on the flats, and the start of the fall is turning on the reef bite. On the flats, local guides out of Andros, Exuma, and Grand Bahama are reporting solid numbers of bonefish, with a few shots at permit mixed in. Best action has been on that first push of incoming and the very top of the tide. Go with small tan or olive shrimp patterns, size 4–6, and keep them light for skinny water. If you’re more into bait, a small piece of fresh shrimp or conch on a light leader will do work where it’s allowed. Offshore, the blue water edge has been lively. Reports from charters running out of Nassau, Bimini, and Freeport say mahi are still around in scattered weedlines, with blackfin tuna and a few wahoo hanging deeper. Most boats are seeing a handful of dolphin in the 10–20‑pound class on a half‑day, plus football‑size blackfin on the afternoon bite. Rig small ballyhoo behind blue‑and‑white or green‑and‑yellow skirts, and keep a couple of naked ballyhoo in the spread for the pickier fish. For tuna, chrome jigs and small bullet heads in dark colors have been hot. On the reef and nearshore structure, yellowtail snapper, mutton snapper, and grouper are chewing around the tide changes. Local captains are doing well with cut ballyhoo, squid, and chunks of fresh pilchard, fished on light fluorocarbon and just enough weight to get down. Yellowtail have been thick over the chum slick when the current is right; a steady rain of small cut pieces and a drifting bait on a tiny hook is the ticket. For lures, pack: - Small bucktail jigs in white, pink, and chartreuse for muttons and general bottom work. - 4–6 inch soft plastics on jig heads for reef edges and cuts. - Medium diving plugs in blue/white or black/purple for early‑morning passes along the drop. A couple of hot spots to keep in mind: - The **Tongue of the Ocean edge off Nassau** – Trolling that drop where it goes from a few hundred feet into the deep has been giving up mahi and blackfin, especially on the afternoon falling tide. - The **north side flats of Andros and the Middle Bight** – clean water and good light have had schools of bonefish tailing hard on the incoming; perfect for wading and stalking fish in skinny water. Closer to town, the reef line off western New Providence has been steady for yellowtail and mutton on the tide shifts, and the channels between the Exuma Cays are producing mixed reef species on jigs and cut bait. That’s the word from the islands today—plenty of opportunity if you time your tides, watch the wind, and match those ballyhoo and small baitfish the predators are chasing.
