This is Artificial Lure with your Oman coast fishing report. Along the Muscat to Quriyat stretch we’ve had **light to moderate onshore winds**, mostly northwesterly sea breeze in the afternoon, with hot, clear conditions and only a bit of haze over the water. Offshore, seas have been fairly calm to a slight chop, very workable in a center console or local fiberglass skiff. Tides today along the central coast ran a **moderate mid‑day high with a good evening fall**, giving a nice push of water around rock structure and harbor mouths. That dropping tide late afternoon into dark has been the key window, especially around shallow reefs and breakwaters. Sunrise came just after **5:15 a.m.** and sunset a bit before **7:00 p.m.** The first light topwater bite has been short but fierce; by 7:30 a.m. things slow as the sun gets high and the water turns glassy and hot. **Fish activity:** Inshore, anglers working from small boats and the rocks have been finding decent numbers of **hamour (grouper)** tight to structure, **sherri** on the reefs, and scattered **trevally and queenfish** chasing bait just off the drop‑offs. Night‑time bottom fishing inside bays has produced a mix of smaller snapper and catfish with the odd better hamour. There have also been a few reports of **cobia** shadowing dhow lines and marker buoys when the current is moving. Farther offshore, boats running the ledges off **Bandar Khayran** and down toward **Yiti** have picked up **yellowfin tuna** and **bonito**, mostly on trolled feathers and small skirted lures, with the tuna showing a bit deeper in the water column during the bright hours. **What’s been caught recently:** Local skippers out of Marina Bandar Al Rowdha have reported small to mid‑size **yellowfin** in the 5–12 kg class, plenty of **bonito**, and a steady pick of reef **snapper and hamour** on the bottom. Shore anglers near Muttrah and Shatti have been sliding in some respectable **trevally** at dusk, plus a handful of **queenfish** when the baitfish push in tight. **Best lures and bait:** For casting to surface feeders, think **small metal jigs and casting spoons** in 20–40 g, silver or blue, plus **white or bone‑colored stickbaits and poppers** at first light. Work them fast when you see bait getting nervous. Around the rocks and reefs, slow‑pitch jigs in natural colors and **soft plastics on 1/2–1 oz jig heads** have been doing damage on sherri and smaller grouper. If you’re soaking bait, **fresh sardine, squid strips, and cut reef fish** are still the gold standard along this coast. Rig them on a simple running sinker or dropper loop, and try to keep contact with the bottom when that tide starts to move. At night, a small glow bead or glow jig above your hook can make a difference. **Hot spots to try:** - **Bandar Khayran area:** Work the points and channel edges on the falling tide for trevally and queenfish up top, then drop jigs or bait down the sides for hamour. - **Off Yiti and Sifah:** Troll the contour line where the reef falls into blue water for tuna and bonito in the morning, then switch to bottom rigs over the hard patches once the sun is high. From shore, focus on rocky points with some current, like the outer arms of the small harbors, casting metals into the deeper blue water and letting them sink before a fast retrieve.
