Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Phuket fishing report. Out here today we had classic southwest–monsoon conditions: light to moderate southwest breeze through the morning, building a bit in the afternoon, with passing cloud and a mix of sun and showers. Offshore, seas ran around one to one‑and‑a‑half meters, a bit sloppy on the wind side but very fishable. Inshore around Chalong and Rawai stayed reasonably calm, with just enough chop to put some life into the surface. Local tide tables showed an early morning high followed by a mid‑day drop and a solid late‑afternoon push. That **flood tide** into sunset has been the money window all week. Sun cracked the horizon shortly after 6 a.m., and by the time the light softened toward evening, the baitfish pushed tight to the points and reef edges, kicking the predators into gear. Charter skippers working the Racha Yai and Racha Noi area reported **good numbers of school‑size yellowfin and longtail tuna**, plus a steady pick of **wahoo and Spanish mackerel** along the drop‑offs. A couple of boats raised sailfish on the outer edges, but the tuna were the main show. Closer to home, around Promthep Cape and out toward Koh Man, small boats and kayaks found **trevally, queenfish, and barracuda**, with the odd coral trout coming off the deeper bommies. Fish activity today tracked the water movement: slower mid‑day when the tide went slack, then switching on hard about an hour into the afternoon rise. When that current started pushing, birds picked up, tuna started busting, and the reef edges came alive. Anglers who timed that window did best, especially those willing to stay out through sunset. For lures, the offshore crews did damage pulling **small skirted trolling lures** in pink‑white and blue‑silver, plus **metal casting jigs** around 40–60 grams when tuna popped on the surface. Inshore, **sub‑surface minnows**, 15–20 gram **casting spoons**, and **topwater poppers** in natural baitfish patterns were the ticket for trevally and queenfish. Color rule of thumb today: bright and flashy when the sun was high, more natural and slightly smaller when the light dropped. Bait anglers did well with **live squid and live scad** slow‑trolled around the reefs and current lines for mackerel and the occasional sail. On the bottom, **fresh prawn and cut squid** produced a mix of snapper, grouper, and odds‑and‑ends reef species; lighter leaders and smaller hooks out‑fished the heavy gear in that clearer inshore water. If you’re heading out soon, a couple of **hot spots** to keep in mind: - **Racha Noi / Racha Yai lines**: Work the eastern drop‑offs and current edges with trolled skirts early, then switch to casting jigs when you see tuna and mackerel pushing bait to the top. - **Promthep Cape to Koh Man**: Drift the points and reef edges on the rising tide with small plugs or live bait; be ready for trevally smashing baits right on the color change. That’s the word from the water around Phuket. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.
