This is Artificial Lure with your Dubai fishing report. Light to moderate afternoon shamal has left the Gulf a bit choppy outside, but inshore has stayed very fishable with clear, green‑blue water on the higher tides. Air temps sat in the mid‑30s, dropping nicely after sunset with a steady northwest breeze keeping things comfortable on the jetties and bridges. Around Dubai Creek and Jumeirah, the morning high pushed good current over the rocks and pilings, then eased into a slower, clearer low in the early afternoon. The stronger incoming this evening has really switched fish back on – classic pattern for our coast: slack water is dead, but once that tide starts pushing, bait stacks up tight to structure and everything follows. Sun popped up early over the desert haze and dropped clean behind the skyline, giving us a long, bright day and a prime golden hour bite both at first light and again just before dark. The low sun and softer wind made that last hour the best window for surface work. Activity wise, queenfish have been the main story off Jumeirah Beach and around the Palm fronds. Boats casting into nervous bait balls reported small schools of queens smashing near the top, with a few better fish mixed in. Spotted and narrow‑barred Spanish mackerel showed in short bursts just off the drop‑offs, especially when the tide started to run. Inside the Creek and along rock groynes, hamour and smaller reef species have been picking at baits tight to the bottom, while orange‑spotted trevally and small GTs have been cruising the edges. Catch reports from local skippers and shore regulars point to modest numbers but good variety: a handful of queenfish per boat on the better drifts, scattered mackerel when the birds started working, plus steady by‑catch of small trevallies, barracuda, and the odd cobia shadowing bait near the buoys. Shore anglers working the marina walls found smaller hamour and bream nosing around the rocks, with the occasional surprise jack smashing lures right at their feet. Lure choice today has been all about flash and profile. For queens and mackerel, fast‑worked metal jigs and slim casting spoons in 20–40 grams, silver or chrome with a bit of blue, have outfished everything else. Small white or olive‑backed soft‑plastic shads on 3/8 to 1/2 oz jig heads have been deadly when fish pushed bait but stayed just under the surface. On the reefs and rock lines, slow‑rolled paddle tails in natural baitfish colors and compact inchiku or slow‑pitch jigs in 40–60 grams have tempted the better hamour. If you prefer bait, fresh sardine strips and small whole sardines have been the top ticket offshore, while squid and fresh shrimp are doing damage in the Creek and along the groynes. Fish them on light fluorocarbon leaders, just enough weight to hold bottom in the current – too much lead and the bites drop off fast in this clear water. A couple of hotspots to circle for your next session: Jumeirah harbor walls and nearby beach groynes have been holding queenfish, small barracuda, and the odd jack on the early flood and the last of the evening run. Light tackle, long casts, and small metals or soft plastics are the way to go here. The Palm outer fronds and nearby channel markers are producing mixed bags for those who can get out by boat – work the up‑current sides with jigs and live or fresh bait, then slide down‑current to pick off any followers.
