Artificial Lure here with your coastal Vietnam fishing report. Along most of the central and southern coast today, light southwest monsoon winds have things pretty mellow. Nearshore, expect 5–12 knot breezes, slight chop, and scattered clouds. Offshore, it stiffens up a bit in the afternoon, but still fishable for most boats. Humidity is high, but no serious storms pushing through, just the usual short, passing showers. Sun popped up around 5:20 in the morning and slid under the horizon just after 6:20 this evening along the central coast, with the south running a few minutes later. That gave us two very active feeding windows: first light until about 8 a.m., and then again the last two hours before dark. Tides were on the moderate side. Morning saw a rising tide peaking mid‑morning on much of the central coast, then dropping out into the afternoon, with the evening push just starting as the sun went down. That morning flood tide lit up the shallow reef edges and river mouths; the evening change fired up the surf zones and rocky points. Inshore, the stars of the show have been **barramundi**, **mangrove jack**, and **snook‑like estuary fish** in the river mouths and back bays, especially where freshwater is pushing out into green saltwater. Local crews reported steady numbers of barra in the 1–3 kg range on the early rising tide, with a couple of real brutes lost right at the net. Mangrove jack and grouper picked off baits tight to structure once the sun got a little higher. Just outside the river mouths and along the beaches, **trevally**, **queenfish**, and smaller **Spanish mackerel** moved in tight during the morning bait runs. Beach casters working deeper gutters picked up modest numbers of **whiting**, **threadfin**, and the odd **ray** on bait. Offshore, the boats that stretched their fuel found mixed **tuna**, **mackerel**, and a few **sailfish** cruising current lines and temperature breaks, not wide open, but enough action to keep things interesting. Best producers today: - For barra and jack in the mangroves: small **paddle‑tail soft plastics** in natural baitfish colors on light jigheads, slow‑rolled along snags; plus shallow‑running **minnow hardbaits** in gold, green, or bone. Live prawns and small mullet were deadly when tucked right into heavy cover. - For surf and beach: **fresh prawns**, **squid strips**, and small **cut bait** on simple bottom rigs did the damage. A few anglers scored on 20–30 g metal spoons and small casting jigs hopping through the gutters. - For trevally, queenfish, and mackerel: flashy **chrome metals**, slim **stickbaits**, and fast‑retrieved **plugs** turned follows into bites. Where birds were working, trolled feathered lures and small skirted lures picked up mackerel and school‑size tuna. - Offshore pelagics: medium‑size **skirted lures** in pink, blue‑white, and purple, run just behind the prop wash, along with diving minnows, raised most of the hits. Chumming with small baitfish and dropping live baits back sealed the deal on a few better fish. If you’re planning a session, aim for that morning push or the last light tide change. Keep your presentations natural, don’t be shy about downsizing leaders when the water’s clear, and always work tight to structure in the estuaries—today the bites came from right in the jungle, not out in the open. A couple of hot spots to keep on your radar: - The **river mouths and mangrove edges along the central coast**, especially near small coastal towns where freshwater creeks meet the sea. Morning rising tide here has been prime for barra and jack. - The **nearshore reef patches and current lines off the south‑central coast**, where green inshore water meets darker blue. These edges have held mackerel, trevally, and the odd sailfish when the bait shows. That’s the situation along Vietnam’s coast right now—plenty of life if you hit the right windows and fish smart.
