Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your afternoon fishing report for the Komodo area. Out here today we had classic dry‑season conditions: mostly clear skies, light to moderate southeast trades blowing 10–15 knots, and air temps sitting around 29–31°C mid‑day. The sea state between Komodo and Rinca has been a bit choppy on the channels, but calmer in the lee of the islands. Typical sunrise was just after 6 in the morning, with sunset around 6 in the evening, so we’ve got a tight, 12‑hour tropical window to work with. Tides around Komodo are always powerful, and today was no exception. We had strong running water on the bigger channels during the morning and late afternoon, with softer neaps and eddies on the inside bays around the top and bottom of the tide. Current lines and pressure points have been the key – anywhere that flow hits a reef corner or a rock outcrop has been holding bait and predators. Fish activity has been solid. Around the reef drop‑offs and current edges we’ve seen good numbers of dogtooth tuna, GTs (giant trevally), bluefin trevally, and some solid coral trout. The bluewater edges have produced decent yellowfin and skipjack, plus the usual mixed mackerel. Boats working poppers and stickbaits over shallow bommies have raised plenty of GTs, with a few fish in the 20–30 kilo class coming boat‑side. Jigging in 40–80 meters has brought up amberjack, dogtooth, and snapper, with some by‑catch of ruby snapper and grouper for the table. For lures, heavy surface poppers in natural baitfish or white, and medium stickbaits in sardine or flying‑fish patterns have been the standout for GTs and trevally. Metal jigs from 80–200 grams with a slim profile in blue, silver, or pink have been doing damage on the deeper reefs. Soft plastics on heavy jigheads, 5–7 inch in pearl or chartreuse, are picking up trout and snapper when worked tight to structure. If you’re fishing bait, fresh is king. Live scad, small fusiliers, or squid bridled and drifted along the current edges have been deadly for dogtooth and big trevally. Fresh cut bonito or mackerel strips on the bottom are pulling snapper and grouper. Use strong leaders – these Komodo fish live in nasty country and they fight dirty. A couple of hot spots to keep in mind: first, the current lines off the northern points of Komodo where the deep water pushes up onto the reef. Work those pressure edges on the pushing tide with poppers and deep jigs. Second, the channels between Komodo and Rinca – areas with standing waves and boiling current – have been very productive when the tide starts to move, especially for GTs and dogtooth. That’s the word from the water. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
