Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Bali fishing rundown. Around the island today we had classic dry‑season conditions: light to moderate southeast trade winds, mostly clear skies, and hot afternoons. Offshore breeze early, then picking up by late morning, backing off again toward sunset. Seas outside the reefs a bit choppy mid‑day, but the channels and leeward sides stayed manageable. Tides were running a decent swing with a low in the early morning, pushing into a solid rising tide through late morning, then dropping again toward late afternoon. That morning flood lit up the bites on the inshore reefs and around the river mouths, while the late‑afternoon run‑out got the predators cruising edges and drop‑offs. Sunrise was early, just after 6, with sunset not long after 6 in the evening, giving a tight but productive low‑light window. Inshore along the east and southeast coasts, the reef edges fished well. Local boats reported good numbers of **trevally**—mostly bluefin and bigeye—with a few GTs mixed in, plus **snapper**, **emperor**, and some **grouper** holding tight to structure. Night and very early morning brought **barracuda** and the odd **queenfish** around the river mouths and harbor lights. Offshore, the blue water lines off Nusa Dua, Nusa Penida, and the trench toward Lombok were the place to be. Local captains coming back into Benoa and Serangan talked about steady action on **small to mid‑size yellowfin and skipjack tuna**, scattered **dorado/mahi‑mahi**, and the occasional **wahoo** on the deeper edges. Nothing crazy on size today, but enough fish to keep the spreads honest and the coolers respectable. For lures, keep it simple and noisy. Inshore, smaller **metal jigs** in the 20–40 g range, silvers and pinks, worked vertically over reef edges have been producing trevally and snapper. Early and late, **topwater sticks and poppers**—white, bone, or baitfish patterns—have drawn explosive strikes from GTs and bluefin when worked along the surf lines and current seams. Soft plastics on 1/4–1/2 oz jigheads, in natural browns and greens, are deadly around rock and coral patches. For bait, **live or very fresh sardines**, scads, or small mullet are still king. Drift them around current breaks, channel mouths, and any visible bait schools. Fresh squid strips or cut sardine on the bottom rigs will tempt snapper, grouper, and emperor when the lure bite slows. Offshore, keep **small skirted trolling lures** and feathers in blue‑silver, green‑yellow, and pink‑white in the spread for tuna and mahi. A deeper diving plug or weighted skirt on the corner helps find wahoo and bigger tuna working below the surface commotion. If you’re planning a session, here are a couple of hot spots to focus on: - **Nusa Dua to Tanjung Benoa Reef Line** – Fish the early rising tide along the reef drop‑off for trevally, barracuda, and snapper. Cast poppers on the edges at first light, then switch to jigs once the sun’s up. - **North and East Sides of Nusa Penida** – Work the current lines where blue water pushes tight to the island. Troll skirts and feathers for tuna and mahi, then jig the drops once you mark bait and arches on the sounder. Close to town, the rock and reef pockets around **Jimbaran Bay** and the **Sanur reef flats** can turn on near dawn and dusk, especially on that moving tide. Light gear, small metals, and live baits will do the job. Conditions are lining up nicely around those tide changes, so time your sessions carefully, keep your leader fresh, and don’t be shy about upsizing your hooks when the bigger trevs and GTs start smashing on top.
