This is Artificial Lure with your Mauritius fishing report. On the west and north coasts today we had light to moderate trade winds, mainly southeasterly, with calm early seas building a bit of chop by afternoon. Skies ran partly cloudy with good visibility and only a slight chance of a passing shower. Offshore, the blue water line sat close in on the west and northwest, giving small boats a decent shot at pelagics. Sunrise came in just after six, with sunset shortly after six this evening, giving a nice, tidy winter‑season day length. The morning outgoing tide lined up neatly with first light, then we saw a mid‑day low and a late‑afternoon push back in. That made the **dawn and late‑afternoon** bites noticeably better, especially around reef edges and passes. Offshore, boats working the drop‑offs off **Le Morne**, **Black River** and up toward **Grand Baie Canyon** reported solid action on **yellowfin tuna** in the 10–25 kg class, a couple of bigger fish around 40 kg, plus scattered **skipjack** and a few **wahoo**. A handful of **dorado/mahi** showed on current lines and around any floating debris. Most of the tuna fell to trolled **small skirted lures** in pink‑white, purple‑black, and luminous green, run around 6–7 knots. Live or chunked bonito free‑lined back into the chum also produced when the sun got higher and the troll slowed. Closer to the reef, jigging in 40–80 m produced good numbers of **jobfish (capitaine)**, **amberjack**, and a mix of **grouper**. Anglers dropping 80–150 g slow‑pitch jigs in blue‑silver, orange‑gold, and pink saw the best results. Natural baits like **fresh squid strips**, **octopus**, and **small fillets of mackerel** pinned on strong bottom rigs were very effective once the current picked up on the flooding tide. Inshore on the lagoons and fringing reefs—especially around **Trou aux Biches**, **Flic‑en‑Flac**, and down to **Blue Bay**—the light‑tackle crowd did well on **trevally (GT and bluefin)**, **queenfish**, and **rainbow runners** early and late. Topwater stickbaits and poppers in 20–40 g, worked fast over the flat edges at first light, drew some violent strikes. Once the sun was high, switching to **soft plastics on jig heads**, small **metal spoons**, or **natural prawn and squid baits** brought more consistent hook‑ups on reef species like **emperor, snapper, and small groupers**. Two hotspots to circle for your next outing: - **Le Morne drop‑off and passes** on the southwest: prime for yellowfin, wahoo, and jigging for amberjack where the reef falls quickly into deep blue water. Work the early outgoing tide and the last of the afternoon flood for best results. - **Grand Baie to Cap Malheureux line** in the north: good all‑rounder stretch with access to blue‑water trolling, mid‑depth jigging, and sheltered lagoon fishing if the wind freshens. Watch for working birds and color changes to find the tuna. Overall fish activity has been **moderate to strong**, with the best windows around the tide changes and whenever the wind eased enough for clean presentations. Keep your leaders fresh, your hooks sharp, and don’t be shy about downsizing lures if the bite slows—these Mauritian fish see plenty of hardware.
