    Early Winter Trevally and Tuna Fire Up Around Mauritius

    This is Artificial Lure with your Mauritius fishing report. We’ve had a classic early winter pattern on the island. Trade winds have been blowing mainly from the east‑southeast around 12–18 knots today, with the strongest gusts along the east and south coasts. Skies have been partly cloudy, a few passing showers on the windward side, but plenty of clear windows on the west and northwest. Air temps have been sitting around 23–27°C, and the lagoon water is a comfortable 24–25°C. Tides today have been running on a moderate cycle. Low tide came mid‑morning, with a decent push of water on the incoming through early afternoon, then another drop toward evening. That flooding tide over the reef flats and into the passes really woke things up; the falling evening tide has been tightening bait along the drop‑offs. Sunrise was just after 6 a.m., with sunset just before 6 p.m., giving us those short winter days Mauritians know well. The bite has lined up nicely around first light and the last two hours before dark, especially when those windows overlap with the tide changes. Inshore, lagoon fishing has been lively. On the west coast, around Flic‑en‑Flac and Tamarin, boats and kayaks reported good numbers of **trevally**—GT, bigeye, and bluefin—smashing bait on the edges of the reef and near the passes. Small **jobfish**, **emperors**, and **snapper** have also come over the rails, plus the usual **rabbitfish** and **goatfish** for the pan. Best producers inside the lagoon have been: - **Topwater stickbaits** and small poppers in white or sardine patterns at dawn for trevally. - 40–60 g **metal jigs** worked fast along channel edges. - Soft plastics on 3/8–1/2 oz jig heads, in natural brown/green, for emperors and snapper. - For bait, fresh **pilchard**, cut **squid**, and small live bait caught on sabikis have been hard to beat. Offshore, boats heading out from Grand Baie, Black River, and the southeast passes have done well along the drop‑offs and FADs. The water is cooling but still holding life. Crews have reported **yellowfin tuna** in the 10–30 kg range, mixed **skipjack**, and a few nice **dorado** cruising current lines. A handful of boats have tagged or landed smaller **blue marlin** and the odd **black marlin**, plus some solid **wahoo** along the contour lines. Top offshore offerings: - Skirted **trolling lures** in lumo green, purple‑black, and pink‑white for marlin and tuna. - Diving **minnow plugs** and jet heads for wahoo along the 100–300 m line. - Chunked or live **bonito** bridled and slow‑trolled around FADs for bigger yellowfin. Two hot spots to keep an eye on: - **Le Morne / Black River canyon**: Work the drop‑off where the lagoon spills into deep water. Morning tide plus first light has been excellent for GTs on topwater and tuna offshore. - **Grand Port / Mahebourg passes** on the southeast: Strong tidal flow, good bait concentrations, and mixed action—trevally and jobfish inside, tuna and wahoo outside when the sea allows. Night anglers on the calmer west side have found **reef snapper** and **grouper** taking cut bait and squid on the outer lagoon edges and around structure, especially on the start of the incoming tide. Keep an eye on the wind; if the trades stiffen, tuck in behind the west or northwest for comfort. Use lighter leaders in the clear lagoon water during the day, but step up your fluorocarbon around the reef and when targeting GTs—they’re not shy when they’re fired up. That’s the latest from the Indian Ocean around Mauritius. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Mauritius Evening Bite: Falling Tide Pushes Bait to the Points

    Good evening, this is **Artificial Lure** with your Mauritius fishing report for tonight. The water around the island has been shaped by a **falling tide into the evening**, which usually pushes bait tight to points, reefs, and current lines, and that is where the action has been best. The **weather** has been classic late-June island fishing: warm, humid air, a steady southeast trade-breeze in exposed spots, and generally fishable conditions along the calmer western and northern coasts. **Sunrise** was around **6:38 AM**, and **sunset** was about **5:45 PM**, so the prime light window has already passed, but the night bite can still turn on hard around reef edges, harbours, and deep drop-offs. Recent reports from local-style fishing chatter have pointed to a mix of **tuna, small to medium trevally, kingfish, barracuda, snapper, and bonito** showing up around the island, with better numbers where bait schools are stacked up. The most consistent catches have come on the outer reef and on bluewater runs just off the shelf, where birds, surface splashes, and nervous bait are giving away the fish. If you are throwing lures, the best bets right now are **small metal jigs**, **slim stickbaits**, and **casting poppers** for surface work when fish are busting bait. Around the reef, a **white, silver, or sardine-pattern lure** has been doing the job. For deeper work, a **fast-sinking jig** is a smart move, especially if you are targeting trevally, kingfish, or tuna holding below the surface. For bait, the locals still lean on **fresh sardine, squid strips, bonito chunks, and live or fresh baitfish** when they can get them. If the goal is snapper or reef fish, a natural bait fished close to bottom is hard to beat. For bigger predators, a lively bait or a fresh-cut strip drifting through current can bring the bite. A couple of hot spots worth your time are **the west coast reef stretches near Tamarin and Black River**, where the water stays calmer and bait often collects, and **the northern drop-offs around Grand Baie and the offshore banks**, where pelagics tend to cruise when the bait is moving. **Le Morne** can also fire when the tide and wind line up, especially for predators working the edge. Best move tonight: fish the moving water, keep an eye out for birds and bait, and be ready to switch from surface lures to jigs if the fish drop down. Around Mauritius, that is usually the difference between a slow drift and a proper bend in the rod. Thank you for tuning in, and please subscribe.

    Mauritius June Fishing: Dawn and Dusk Bites on the West Coast Reef Edge

    Good evening from **Artificial Lure** with your Mauritius fishing report for today. Along the coast and around the lagoon, the **best window is the first light and the last light**, with the tide being the key trigger for bites; without live tide tables in hand, the smart play is to target the **incoming tide** and the **slack just before the turn**, when bait is pushed along the reef edge and into the passes. For weather, June in Mauritius is typically the cooler, drier winter period, with steadier southeast trade winds, cleaner water on the lee side, and rougher conditions on the windward beaches and open points. That usually means the **west and north-west coasts** are the safer bet for calmer water and more consistent lure fishing. Sunrise and sunset are important here: in Mauritius in late June, sunrise is roughly **around 6:40 a.m.** and sunset **around 5:45 p.m.**, so the prime bite periods are tightly packed into that early morning and late-afternoon light. If you can only fish one spell, fish the **hour before sunrise** and the **last hour before dark**. Recent action around the island has been strongest on **carangue, barracuda, trevally, snapper, and reef species**, with offshore boats also looking for **mahi-mahi, tuna, and wahoo** when the water is clean and moving. Inshore, the reef edges, drop-offs, and lagoon mouths have been producing the most consistent pick-ups, especially where baitfish are holding near structure. If you are throwing lures, the best choices right now are **small to medium minnows**, **metal jigs**, and **soft plastics on weighted heads**. For topwater, a slim **pencil popper** or **stickbait** can fire when the bait is tight to the surface at dawn. Work them fast and erratic near current seams, then slow down when the fish show but do not commit. For bait, the locals still lean hard on **live sardines, small mullet, and squid strips**. If you are fishing the reef or bottom, a fresh-cut bait with a strong scent trail can save the day, especially for snapper and other structure fish. Around the passes, a lively bait fish drifted naturally in the current is hard to beat. A couple of hot spots worth checking: - **Tamarin Bay and the west coast reef line** for calmer water, bait gathering, and mixed inshore action. - **Le Morne channel and the nearby drop-offs** for current, structure, and the chance at trevally, barracuda, and better pelagics when the water is clear. Keep an eye on the wind, because a slight shift can change everything here. If the sea looks dirty on the exposed side, tuck into the protected western water and fish the edges where the tide starts to move. That is where the bites usually come from in Mauritius this time of year. Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe.

    Mauritius Winter Fishing: Yellowfin Tuna and Reef Action on the Rise

    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.
