Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Fiji fishing report for this afternoon. Around Viti Levu and the Mamanuca and Yasawa groups, we’ve had a classic dry‑season pattern: light to moderate southeast trade winds, clear skies, and a steady barometer. Temps are sitting in the high 20s Celsius, with a bit of chop on the windward reefs and calmer water on the leeward sides. Sunrise came in just after six this morning, and sunset will slide in just before six this evening, giving us a solid low‑light window at both ends of the day. Tides are running a medium range on the reef edges. The morning incoming pushed good current over the drop‑offs, and the early afternoon outgoing is draining bait off the flats and out of the lagoons. Around the top and bottom of the tide the bite slowed, but once that water started moving again, the fish woke up. Offshore, the bluewater has been alive. Local charter skippers out of Port Denarau and Pacific Harbour have reported solid yellowfin tuna schools working birds and bait, with fish from schoolie size up to around 40 kilos mixed in with skipjack. A few wahoo and the odd mahi have been picked up along the outer reef lines and FADs. Troll spreads with medium‑sized skirted lures in purple‑black, blue‑silver, and pink have been doing damage, along with cedar‑style hardbodies. For bait, rigged gar, flying fish, and strip baits slow‑trolled along temperature breaks have all produced. On the reefs, the story has been strong. Jig and bait guys on the deep edges have found dogtooth tuna, GTs, and hefty coral trout holding around 40–80 metres. Vertical jigs in 80–150 grams, natural bait colours with a bit of flash, worked fast on the first few cranks then fluttered back down, have drawn aggressive strikes. Those fishing bait have done well with fresh skipjack chunks and squid dropped just off the bottom. Inshore, the lagoon and fringing reef channels have held good numbers of trevally, bluefin and brassy, plus longnose emperor and snapper. Early‑morning and late‑afternoon surface sessions have been hot, especially along the current lines and pressure points where the tide hits the reef. Medium stickbaits and cup‑faced poppers in blue‑white or baitfish patterns have been the stars, with soft plastics on 3/8 to 1/2‑ounce jig heads cleaning up when the surface bite backs off. For the bait crew, live sardines, fresh mullet strips, and peeled prawn fished on light leaders have picked up a steady mix of reefies. If you’re after a feed, the inside edges of the reef around Malolo and toward the Mamanucas have been giving up good‑eating coral trout, sweetlip, and spangled emperor on lightly weighted baits and small metal jigs. Just remember to respect local size and bag limits and avoid the known ciguatera‑prone species and zones. A couple of hot spots to keep in mind: First, the Navula Passage area off western Viti Levu. Work the drop‑offs and current lines on the changing tide for GTs, doggies, and the passing pelagics. Big poppers, heavy stickbaits, and 100‑gram plus jigs are the tools of choice there. Second, the outer reef edges off Kadavu. When the trades ease, trolling along the reef face and working jigs over the deeper ledges has been turning up quality tuna, wahoo, and serious bottom fish. Right now, the best windows are first light through mid‑morning and then again in the last couple of hours before dark, especially when that tide is pushing. Keep your leaders fresh, hooks sharp, and don’t be shy to mix lures and bait until you find what they want. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.
