This is Artificial Lure with your Phuket fishing report. We’ve had a classic southwest monsoon day around the island – light to moderate southwest winds, a bit of cloud, scattered showers offshore, and steamy air in the low 30s Celsius. Thai Met data shows seas around 0.5–1 meter, a gentle roll that’s still comfortable for the day boats. Tides from the Thai Hydrographic Department for the Phuket area show a medium range: a pre‑dawn high easing to a late‑morning low, then building back to an evening high. That gave us slower action through late morning, with the bite switching on once the tide started pushing again after lunch. Sunrise was just after 6 a.m., sunset just before 7 p.m., giving us a good golden hour on both ends. Inshore, around Chalong Bay and along the east coast mudflats, local longtail skippers reported steady catches of small **barracuda**, **queenfish**, and the usual **grunter** and **snapper** along channel edges when the tide was running. Most of the productive boats today picked fish on the first and last two hours of each tide swing, with the slack water predictably dead. Offshore, the day boats running out towards Racha Yai and Racha Noi found clearer water and more life. Crews reported **Spanish mackerel**, **schooly tuna** (bonito and frigates), and a few **dorado/mahi** on the current lines. A couple of charter skippers mentioned the odd **sailfish** seen free‑jumping but none landed today, though they did move some fish on small skirted lures. For lures, the winners today were: - Small **metal jigs** in the 20–40 g range, silver or pink, worked mid‑water for tuna and mackerel. - Diving **minnow plugs** in mackerel or sardine patterns trolled 4–6 knots. - For reef edges, 3–4 inch **soft plastics** on 3/8–½ oz jig heads in chartreuse or white took snapper and grouper. On the bait side, fresh **live prawns**, **small live scad**, and **strip baits** of squid outfished everything else. Boats that took time to jig up live bait near the moorings early reported better quality fish through the day. Simple running rigs with a small sinker and 1/0–3/0 hooks did the job. If you’re heading out tomorrow on similar conditions, think structure and moving water. Two local hot spots to keep in mind: - **Racha Yai east and south reefs** – good mix of bottom species plus passing mackerel and tuna along the drop‑off. Drift over 15–30 m and work jigs or live baits just off the bottom. - **Promthep Cape / Laem Krating area** – from shore or kayak, this stretch often holds trevally, queenfish, and barracuda at first light and last light. Cast metals or stickbaits into the whitewater around the rocks and keep moving. With the warm, slightly green water and moderate swell, expect best activity around dawn, late afternoon, and especially when the tide starts to move hard. Mid‑day is better suited to deeper jigging or bait fishing on the reefs. That’s the Phuket fishing rundown from Artificial Lure.
