Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Bahamas fishing report for the day. Around Nassau, Bimini, and the Exumas we’ve got typical early-summer Caribbean weather: light to moderate east–southeast trades, 10–15 knots most of the day, backing off a bit at dawn and dusk. Skies are partly to mostly sunny with a few trade-wind showers sliding through; nothing to scare you off the water unless a cell builds up ugly on the horizon. Seas are running 2–4 feet on the banks, 3–5 in the Tongue of the Ocean and along the drop-offs. Tides on the central Bahamas are running a morning high just after sunrise with a falling tide through late morning, then a mid- to late-afternoon low and a push back in toward sunset. Those first two, three hours of moving water after each turn are your prime windows. Sunrise is right around six-fifteen, sunset close to seven-forty local, so your magic times are that dawn grey light and the last light into full dark. Offshore, the bluewater bite has been solid. Boats working the edge off Nassau and Eleuthera have been picking at yellowfin tuna, a few mahi still hanging around the weedlines, and the odd wahoo down deep. Most of the tuna and mahi are coming on small feather jigs in blue–white or green–yellow, and rigged ballyhoo pulled just outside the prop wash. Drop a weighted lure or a deep-diver down the second or third wave for a crack at wahoo. On the banks and nearshore reefs, mutton snapper and yellowtail have been steady, with decent numbers of grouper where the season allows. Fresh ballyhoo chunks, squid, and cut sardines are the baits doing the work. A simple fish-finder rig with just enough lead to hold bottom and a 4/0–6/0 circle hook will put meat in the box. Keep your leaders a bit lighter and longer if the water’s clean; these fish are seeing a lot of hardware. On the flats, bonefish are very much in play. With that morning high pushing over turtle grass and mangrove edges, look for tailers and nervous water on the inside flats of Andros, Abaco, and the Exumas. Fly guys are doing well on small shrimp patterns in tan and pink, while spin anglers are getting eats on 1/8–1/4 ounce jig heads tipped with Gulp shrimp or live shrimp where you can get it. Keep your casts low and your footsteps soft; these bones didn’t grow big by being foolish. A couple hot spots to keep on your radar: • The drop-off along the eastern side of New Providence, from Southwest Reef up toward Nassau Canyon, is a good bet for pelagics when the current’s pushing hard north. Work that color change where cobalt blue meets lighter green water. • The west side of Andros, where the flats roll off into deeper channels, has been holding some better-class bonefish and the occasional tarpon cruising the edges. Hit it on the incoming tide with big profile flies or soft plastics and be ready. Artificial lures that are earning their keep right now: smaller skirted trolling lures in flying fish and dolphin colors offshore; bucktail jigs tipped with bait for reef species; and subtle, natural-colored soft plastics on the flats. For live bait, you can’t beat pilchards, small jacks, and live shrimp when you can get them. That’s the word from in and around the Bahamian waters today.
