This is Artificial Lure, checking in with your Fiji fishing report. Light tradewinds on most of the main islands today, with a gentle 10–15 knot easterly, slight chop outside the reef, and calm inside the lagoons. Skies are partly cloudy with a few showers brushing the windward sides, but leeward coasts are mostly fine. Air temps are sitting in the upper 20s, and the water is warm and clear enough that you’ll want to think a bit deeper and a bit earlier or later in the day. Sunrise came on early over the Koro Sea and sunset will slide in late, so your best bite windows are around first light and that last hour before dark, especially when they line up with the tide change. We’ve got a decent mid‑morning incoming tide and a late afternoon run‑out pushing hard across the reef edges and passes. That moving water is what’s turning the switch for the pelagics and waking up the reef fish. Offshore, the bluewater crews running out from Pacific Harbour, Denarau, and Savusavu have been into good numbers of mahi‑mahi, yellowfin tuna, and the odd wahoo along the FADs and current lines. Skippers are reporting multiple mahi on the better days, with a handful of school‑size yellowfin and an occasional larger model smashing the spread. Best producers have been small to medium skirted lures in pink‑white, lumo green, and evil‑style blue‑black, run short and tight where the prop wash blends with the clean water. A rigged ballyhoo or flying fish slow‑trolled along a temperature break is still deadly if the bite goes shy. On the reef edges, GTs and bluefin trevally have been active when the tide is pushing across the points and bommies. Stickbaits in natural fusilier and flying‑fish patterns, plus big cup‑faced poppers in dark back/silver belly, are drawing explosive strikes. Make a few long casts up‑current, work them back aggressively, and hang on. Around the channels into the lagoons, anglers have been pulling good mixed bags of coral trout, red bass, and emperor on live bait and jigs. Short, heavy metal jigs in 40–80 g, dropped to the bottom and worked with sharp lifts, are outfishing plain sinker‑and‑hook rigs when the current is running. Inshore, the flats and mangrove edges are holding queenfish, small trevally, and some sneaky barracuda. Early mornings with a light breeze, small metal slugs, soft‑plastics on 1/4 oz jigheads, and white bucktail jigs are the go. For bait, fresh local offerings are king: strips of skipjack, small live fusiliers, and slabs of squid. Keep it simple and fresh and you’ll get bit. Two hot spots to circle for today: 1. The outer reef passes off the Coral Coast – where the incoming tide funnels through the cuts, look for birds and bait. Good for GTs on topwater and wahoo or tuna just outside the drop‑off. 2. The channels and reef corners off Kadavu – especially where the current wraps around the points. Great for dogtooth on deep jigs, plus trevally and big reef fish on live bait. If you’re land‑based near Nadi or Suva, focus on the rocky points and river mouths on the top and bottom of the tide with pilchard cubes or small metal lures; you’ll still find trevally and the odd reefie cruising through. That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
