Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Komodo fishing report from the deck, looking out across a glassy Flores Sea. Around Komodo today the southeast trades are in charge: steady SE wind about 10–15 knots, seas a bit choppy in the channels but calm enough in the lee of the islands. Skies mostly clear with some high cloud, hot by midday, cooler once that wind kicks. Sunrise was just after 6 in the morning, sunset right around 6 in the evening, so your golden windows were first light to about 9 a.m., then again from 4 p.m. to dark. We’re sitting on a solid mid‑day high with decent tidal movement on either side. Big water pushing through the Komodo and Lintah Straits has been firing up the current lines and eddies. The bite’s been best on the falling tide as the water starts to rip, especially along reef edges and pressure points. Offshore, the last few days have been kind. Local charter skippers around Labuan Bajo are reporting good numbers of yellowfin and skipjack tuna, plus a few dorado riding the current lines. Most boats working the drop‑offs between Komodo and Padar have been picking 5–15 tuna a trip, mainly schoolies in the 5–15 kilo range, with the odd bigger model mixed in. Narrow‑profile metal jigs, 40–80 grams in blue–silver and green–gold, have been doing damage when dropped into the marks, and small skirted lures trolled at 6–7 knots have been bending rods consistently. Closer to the reefs, the jigging and bottom fishing crew have been busy. Around Batu Bolong and the slopes off Sebayur and Tatawa, anglers have been boating good coral trout, spangled emperor, red bass, and various trevally. Slow‑pitch jigs in pink glow or orange, 60–120 grams depending on depth and current, are the top artificial. For bait, nothing beats fresh squid, scad, or small cut sardine pinned on a strong 5/0–7/0. The trick is to fish the slack and early run before the current turns brutal. GT hunters have had some heart‑stopping moments on the reef edges of South Rinca and Karang Makassar. Big poppers in white, bone, or mackerel pattern, plus stickbaits with a strong roll, are getting followed and smashed on the up‑current corners where the water boils. You might only get a few proper shots a session, but they’re worth the effort—fish over 20 kilos have been sighted and a handful landed. If you’re fishing bait from a smaller boat, try anchoring on the shoulders of the current, not right in the middle of the river. Freeline a live scad or small fusilier back into the wash for Spanish mackerel and trevally. If you’re throwing plastics, 4–6 inch paddle tails in natural baitfish colours, rigged on 1–2 ounce jig heads, are a smart choice along the drop‑offs. Couple of hot spots to keep in mind: First, the reefs and channels around Tatawa Besar on a moving tide—good mix of pelagics and reef fish, just watch that current and respect the park rules. Second, the deeper edges off Karang Makassar, especially where the manta cleaning stations drop into blue water; work your jigs and deep divers along those contour lines for tuna, trevally, and the odd surprise. That’s the word from Komodo for now. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss the next report.
