Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Newfoundland coastal fishing report. We’re under a cool North Atlantic pattern this morning: light southwest breeze along much of the Avalon, single‑digit temps at daybreak, building to the low teens by afternoon. Skies are a mix of cloud and sun with a chance of drizzle and fog banks sliding in and out, especially around Cape Spear, Bay Bulls, and up toward Conception Bay. Winds freshen on exposed headlands later, so small boats should keep an ear on the marine forecast. Tides along the east coast are running mid‑range today. Expect a **morning high tide around mid‑morning** and an **evening high just after supper**, with the lows falling early afternoon and late night. On these in‑between tides, the best bite has been in the hour either side of the turns when the current softens, especially in the coves and behind points. Sunrise came early, just after 4:50 a.m. local, with sunset not far off 9:10 p.m., giving you a long window to work those low‑light bites. Dawn and last light have been the prime movers, with mid‑day fishing slower unless you’re dropping deep. Inshore cod, the old Newfoundland “tom cod” and keeper fish, have been showing decent inside the bays. Reports from local skippers out of Petty Harbour and Witless Bay say they’ve been boxing **good numbers of cod in the 3–6 pound range**, with the odd 10‑pounder coming off deeper structure. A simple jigging rig with a **4–6 oz Norwegian‑style cod jig** in chrome, chartreuse, or red/white is still king. Some crews are tipping jigs with a strip of mackerel for extra scent when the water’s a bit off‑colour. Capelin are starting to nose in closer on some beaches, and when they push shallow the whole food chain wakes up. Keep an eye on the surf lines near Middle Cove and Outer Cove. When birds start diving and the water looks “alive,” that’s your cue to break out the lighter spinning gear for **sea trout** and **school‑size Atlantic salmon** staging just off the capelin schools. Small silver spoons, blue/silver or green/silver, and #1–#3 spinners with a bit of flash have been producing. For bait anglers, a fresh capelin strip drifted under a float can be deadly on the trout. Out toward the offshore edges and deeper pockets in Conception and Trinity Bays, folks jigging bottom are still finding **halibut and big slatey cod** when weather allows. Heavy 10–16 oz jigs, glow and white patterns, worked close to bottom on the drift are the ticket. Add a teaser fly about two feet above the jig if you’re marking fish but not getting hits. Squid activity has been spotty but improving in the evenings around wharves with good light. Small pink and glow squid jigs worked with a slow, twitchy retrieve have picked up enough for bait and a feed. If the squid come thick, don’t be shy about switching to them for cod bait next morning. Couple of hot spots to think about: • **Bay Bulls and Witless Bay**: sheltered runs with good cod jigging on the shoals just outside the harbours, especially around the tide changes. • **Conception Bay headlands near Holyrood and Bell Island**: reliable cod and the chance at a halibut or two in the deeper slots; also good evening squid around the wharves when the water clears. Best overall bet today: hit cod at first light on that morning high, switch to exploring trout and salmon around the capelin sign mid‑day if they show, then finish on the squid under the lights after dark.
