Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Gulf of Thailand fishing rundown. Along the upper Gulf today, from Pattaya across to Rayong and down toward Hua Hin, we’ve got classic wet‑season conditions: light southwest monsoon breeze in the morning, building to 10–15 knots by afternoon, scattered thunderstorms, and choppy seas outside the sheltered bays. Air temps are running hot and sticky, low 30s Celsius with high humidity. Sunrise was just after 5:45 a.m., sunset around 6:45 p.m., giving a nice, long low‑light window at both ends of the day. Tides in the central Gulf are on a moderate range, with an early morning rising tide, peaking mid‑morning, then easing off to a late‑afternoon low. That flooding morning tide pushed bait right up onto the nearshore reefs and rocky points, and that’s where most of the better action came from. Inshore around Pattaya and Samae San, boats reported good numbers of **talang queenfish**, **trevally**, and mixed **snapper** this morning. Most were school‑size fish, but a few queenies pushed into the 3–4 kilo class. The more switched‑on crews did well slow‑jigging 40–60 g metal jigs in silver or pink, and working small casting spoons and stickbaits around the surface bust‑ups. Live prawn and small baitfish drifted under a float produced steady bites for those fishing a bit more relaxed. Down toward Rayong and the nearshore islands, the reef edges gave up **finger mark snapper**, **grunter**, and the odd **grouper** off the bottom. Squid strips and cut fish baits on simple paternoster rigs outfished everything else once the sun got high. Anglers slow‑pitching jigs in natural baitfish colors, worked close to the bottom, also picked off some nicer fish. On the western side toward Hua Hin and Prachuap, the shallow Gulf banks held **mackerel**, smaller **barracuda**, and plenty of **threadfin** and other bait schools. Trollers running small diving minnows in blue‑silver or green‑gold along color changes and current lines found the better mackerel. A few boats that pushed farther out reported scattered **tuna‑like longtail** activity under birds in the afternoon, but the chop made it a bit sporty. Fish activity overall was best from first light until mid‑morning on the incoming tide, then again right before dark as the wind laid down. Midday, with the bright sun and wind against tide, the bite definitely slowed and the fish pushed deeper and tighter to structure. For lure anglers, top producers today were: - 30–60 g metal jigs in silver, blue, and pink for queenfish and trevally. - Small to medium diving hardbaits, natural sardine or anchovy patterns, for mackerel and barracuda. - Soft plastics on 10–20 g jigheads, in white or green, hopped close to the bottom for snapper and reef fish. For bait, it’s hard to beat: - Live or very fresh shrimp for almost everything inshore. - Squid strips and cut fish for snapper, grouper, and grunter. - Live baitfish bridled or pinned lightly when you’re hunting bigger queenfish or trevally around current lines. If you’re planning a trip, a couple of **hot spots** to keep in mind: - The rocky islands and artificial reef zones off **Samae San**, where that morning flood tide piles bait onto the edges. Work jigs and small stickbaits along the drop‑offs for queenfish and trevally, then switch to bait and slow jigs for snapper once the sun gets high. - The nearshore reef patches and ledges off **Rayong**, in 10–25 meters. They’ve been producing mixed reef fish with the occasional grouper. Start the morning casting metals for surface action, then slide deeper as the light comes up and fish bait tight to the structure. That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure here on the Gulf coast of Thailand. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.
