This is Artificial Lure, checking in with your Philippines island fishing report. Out here the southwest monsoon is settled in: warm, humid days, passing showers, and a steady breeze out of the southwest most afternoons. Along the central islands and up through Batangas and Mindoro, winds have been running light in the morning then building 10–15 knots by mid‑day, with seas staying manageable nearshore. Sunrise is early, just after five, and sunset comes a bit after six, so you’ve got a tight but productive window at first and last light. Tides around the central archipelago are running mixed but predictable: a low before sunrise, a good flood through the morning, then another drop late afternoon into early evening. That rising water has been the ticket. On the morning flood, bait pushes tight to mangroves, reef edges, and river mouths, and the predators aren’t far behind. Around Luzon’s south coast and Verde Island Passage, the inshore bite has been lively. Local bangkeros have been boating decent numbers of **talakitok** (GT and bigeye trevally), **tulingan** (mackerel tuna), and the odd **maya‑maya** (snapper) off drop‑offs in 20–40 meters. Best action has been where clearer ocean water meets the greener inshore flow. Slow‑pitch jigs in 40–60 grams, in pink or sardine patterns, and small metal casting jigs have been doing damage. For bait fishers, fresh **tamban** or **galunggong** strips on a simple paternoster still rule. Down in the Visayas, especially around Cebu and Bohol channels, reef and channel edges are giving up mixed bags: **lapu‑lapu** (grouper), **labahita** (surgeonfish), **molmol** (parrotfish), plus steady **kitang** and smaller snapper. Night sessions on the outgoing tide are filling coolers with squid and smaller reef fish; shrimp and squid baits on light tackle are plenty. Soft‑plastic grubs in natural colors worked slowly along the bottom are outfishing hardbaits when the water goes a bit murky after squalls. Pelagic reports from offshore Siargao and eastern Samar have been solid whenever the sea state allows. Boats trolling early have raised **yellowfin tuna** and some **skipjack**, with occasional **dorado/mahi** under debris lines. Smaller skirts in green‑yellow or blue‑silver, plus classic cedar plugs and feather jigs, are the producers. If you’re jigging under birds, flutter‑style jigs dropped into the bait ball are a fast way to hook up, but watch your leader; the tuna have been chewing through lighter fluoro. For shore and light‑tackle anglers, early morning along sandy beaches and rock points has been good for **sapsap**, **bisugo**, and small trevally. A simple float rig with bread or shrimp near river mouths will keep beginners busy. Those throwing lures at first light should pack 10–20 g spoons, white bucktail jigs, and small topwater pencils—anything that looks like a fleeing anchovy. Best lures right now: - Small to medium metal jigs and spoons in silver, blue, and pink. - White or chartreuse bucktail jigs. - Natural‑colored soft plastics on 1/4–1/2 oz jigheads. - Skirted trolling lures and feathers in green‑yellow, pink‑white, and blue‑silver. Best natural baits: - Fresh **tamban** and **galunggong** strips. - Live shrimp where you can get them. - Squid for bottom fish and night sessions. - Simple bread balls for nearshore reef pickers. Couple of hot spots to keep in mind: - The **Verde Island Passage** area between Batangas and Mindoro: work the reef edges and current lines on a rising tide for GT, snapper, and mackerel tuna. - The **Bohol Sea channel edges** between Cebu and Bohol: target the 30–60 meter contours at dawn with jigs or live bait for grouper, snapper, and passing pelagics. Be mindful of afternoon thunderstorms and always check local coast guard or port advisories before heading out, especially on the Pacific side where swell can jump quickly.
