    Tahiti Dry Season: Trevally in the Lagoon, Yellowfin Outside the Reef

    This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Tahiti fishing report. Out here around Tahiti and Moorea, we’ve got classic dry‑season conditions: light to moderate trade winds, mostly clear skies, and a modest southeast swell. Mornings are calm, with a bit more breeze and chop building after lunch. Air temps are sitting in the upper 20s Celsius, water around 27–28, perfect for both lagoon and offshore runs. Tides today are on the smaller side, but there’s still enough movement to matter. The early‑morning incoming and the late‑afternoon outgoing are your prime bite windows. That first push of water onto the reef edges has been switching the fish on, especially in the passes, and the last two hours of the falling tide have been firing for topwater in the lagoon. Sunrise came in just before 6, with sunset a little after 5 in the evening, so your power hours are 5:30–8:30 a.m. and 3:30–sunset. Midday can be slow on the flats, so use that time to work deeper channels, passes, or head outside the reef. Inshore, the lagoon has been giving up good numbers of **bluefin trevally**, lagoon **GTs**, **jobfish**, and plenty of **goatfish** and small **snappers** for the table. Recent trips around the Faa’a and Punaauia reef edges have seen boats coming back with half a dozen trevally in the 2–6 kilo range, plus a mixed bag of reef fish. Around Mahina and Papenoo, the inside reef has produced a few bigger GTs, with one or two 20‑kilo‑class fish landed this past week on heavy stickbaits. Offshore, boats running outside the barrier reef toward the Taapuna and Paea passes, and across to Moorea, have been into **yellowfin tuna**, **skipjack**, and the odd **mahi‑mahi**. Anglers trolling early have reported several yellowfin in the 10–25 kilo range on a typical half‑day, with occasional bigger fish smashing lures near the drop‑off. A couple of small **blue marlin** have been tagged and released off the west side in the last few days, reminding everyone to keep at least one heavier setup in the spread. For lures, inside the lagoon the hot ticket has been medium‑sized **stickbaits** and **poppers** in natural baitfish or blue‑white patterns, along with 40–60 g **metal jigs** worked along channel edges. Soft plastics on 3/8 to 1/2 oz jig heads in shrimp or minnow patterns have been deadly on goatfish and smaller snappers. Offshore, run a spread of **skirted lures** in purple‑black, lumo green, and pink‑white; small feathers and cedar plugs are still doing work on skipjack and school‑sized yellowfin. For bait, you can’t beat fresh **small bonito**, **sardines**, or **squid**. Chunked or live baits slow‑trolled along the outer reef line have out‑fished dead, frozen stuff. Inshore, strips of fresh fish on small circle hooks are pulling bites from everything that swims, especially around coral heads on the dropping tide. A couple of local hotspots for you: - The **Taapuna Pass and outer reef**: work the incoming tide on the inside for trevally, then slide just outside the reef line with lures or bait for tuna and mahi once the sun is up. - The **Vaiare Channel and north side of Moorea**: good current, clean water, and regular life—tuna, skipjack, and the occasional marlin, plus solid reef action on the edges. That’s it from Artificial Lure here in Tahiti. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Tahiti Dry Season Hot Bite: Trade Winds, Tuna, and GTs on the Reef Passes

    This is Artificial Lure with your Tahiti fishing report. Out here around Tahiti and Moorea, we’re waking up to classic dry‑season trade‑wind weather: easterly breeze around 10–15 knots, small to moderate swell, and mostly clear skies with a few passing showers riding the trades. Air temps are sitting in the upper 20s Celsius, and the lagoon is bathtub warm. Sunrise slid in just after 6 a.m., with sunset coming a bit after 5:30 p.m., giving us a nice, compact feeding window at both ends of the day. The morning high tide lined up close to sunrise with a solid push of water over the reef passes, and we’ll see a falling tide through late morning before another build toward evening. Those tide changes at the passes are the key—slack water has been slow, moving water has been hot. Offshore, the outer drop‑offs north of Papeete and along the west side toward Paea have produced good numbers of yellowfin tuna and skipjack this week, with a few mahi and the odd marlin in the mix. Charter skippers have been doing best running small to medium skirted lures in blue/white, green/yellow, and lumo colors around birds and bait schools. Darker skirts have worked when clouds roll over. A few boats have reported double‑ups on 10–20 kg yellowfin when the current really starts to roll on the morning tide. Closer in, the reef edges and passes are alive. Around Taapuna Pass and the Faa’a airport reef, dogtooth and GTs have been hammering topwater and fast‑worked metal jigs on the first light high. Bring big poppers in blue or black, stickbaits with a bit of flash, and 60–100 g jigs in silver or pink for working the drop‑off. Expect bruiser reef fish—GTs, bluefin trevally, and big red bass—so don’t come under‑gunned. Inside the lagoon, the inshore bite has been steady but picky during midday. Early and late, you can pick off bluefin trevally, small GTs, and emperors on soft plastics, bucktail jigs, and small hardbaits fished along current lines and channel mouths. Natural bait like fresh bonito strips, squid, or local sardines drifted near the passes has been outfishing artificials for mixed reef species and smaller tunas sliding inside with the tide. For pure bait fishing, grab the freshest stuff you can: bonito chunks for tuna and mahi, squid strips for reef dwellers, and live small baitfish if you can sabiki them around the lights at night. Fish those on simple running rigs near the reef edge where the clean ocean water meets the lagoon blue. A couple of hot spots to circle on your mental chart: • The reef pass and outer slope off Taapuna on the west coast—great for GTs on top early and pelagics just outside the drop. • The passes around Moorea’s north side—especially where the tide rips through in the morning—for tuna and mahi working the bait. Timing is everything here: fish the first couple hours of the flood and the start of the ebb, and keep an eye on birds, bait, and color changes in the water. When that clear blue pushes hard against the reef, things light up in a hurry. That’s your Tahiti fishing rundown from Artificial Lure.

    Tahiti Lagoon Fire: Mahi, Trevally, and Perfect Tide Windows This Morning

    Artificial Lure here with your Tahiti fishing report. Out on the big lagoon and outer reef this morning, we started under a calm sky: light trade winds from the east around 10–15 knots, a gentle chop on the lagoon, and clearer blue water on the reef edge. Air temps are hovering in the upper 70s to low 80s, humidity high, but the breeze keeps it comfortable. Clouds are scattered, with a chance of a brief squall rolling off the ocean later this afternoon. Sunrise came in early over Moorea’s shoulder and the first good bite lined up with the morning high tide, which peaked not long after first light. We’ve got a falling tide through late morning, then a modest low early afternoon, before it fills again toward sunset. That dropping water pushed bait off the shallows and really turned on the reef edges and passes. Near the passes of Papeete and Paea, boats working the drop-offs found solid action on **mahi-mahi**, **wahoo**, and a few nice **yellowfin tuna** hanging deeper. Several boats reported multiple mahi in the 10–20 pound class, and at least a couple of wahoo pushing past 30 pounds. Yellowfin have been a bit scattered, but patient crews chunking and live-baiting around the current lines scratched out a handful of fish in the 25–40 pound range. In the lagoon and inside the reef, the **GTs (ulua)** and **bluefin trevally** are active on the moving tide, especially around bommies and channel mouths. Shore casters and kayak anglers picked up a mix of trevally and **jobfish** in the low double digits overall, with plenty of follows and blowups even when they didn’t connect. Reef anglers soaking bait on the deeper edges also found **parrotfish** and **goatfish** for the table. Lure-wise, the offshore crews did best pulling medium to large skirted trolling lures in blue/white, green/yellow, and pink over the 200–1000 meter line, especially along temperature breaks and bird activity. A couple of boats switching to deep-diving plugs and metal jigs around bait balls picked off extra yellowfin when the surface bite slowed. Inshore, topwater is king right now. Big stickbaits and poppers in natural mullet and flying-fish patterns lit up the GTs at dawn and on the evening push. When the sun got high, downsizing to 60–90 mm stickbaits, sub-surface minnows, and 1–2 oz metal jigs produced more consistent hookups, especially for bluefin trevally and jobfish. For bait, fresh cut bonito, squid, and small live reef fish pinned near structure continue to be the most reliable options. If you’re planning a session, timing it around the tide changes is the move: first light through mid-morning on the outgoing, then again late afternoon as it starts to fill. Wind may stiffen a bit later, so morning boats should have the better conditions; evening shore casting along the west side will benefit from that sunset silhouette and cooling temps. A couple of local hot spots to keep in mind: - The **Taapuna and Paea passes** on the west coast: great current lines, regular mahi and wahoo outside, and strong trevally action just inside the reef. - The **Faa’a airport reef edge and drop-off**: consistent for trevally, jobfish, and the occasional tuna cruising close, especially on the falling tide. If you’re heading out, fish smart, respect the reef, and keep an eye on the weather and the tide. Thanks for tuning in, don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

    Tahiti Early Dry Season: Dawn Tides and Offshore Pelagics

    This is Artificial Lure with your Tahiti fishing report. We’re sitting in a classic early‑dry‑season pattern around Tahiti and Moorea. Trade winds are settled in from the east–southeast, blowing moderate most of the day with lighter spells early morning and late afternoon. Skies have been partly cloudy with the usual quick tropical showers rolling off the mountains, but plenty of sun between squalls. Air temps are warm and sticky, sea surface sitting in the upper 20s Celsius, perfect for both reef and offshore action. First light is easing in just after 5:00 a.m., with sunrise soon after, and the sun dropping behind Moorea around 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. That gives you two strong windows: grey‑light dawn and the last hour before dark. Tides swing twice a day here; expect a decent morning incoming pushing up along the reefs, then another push late afternoon. On the rising water, bait stacks tight to the reef edges and passes, and that’s when things really wake up. The offshore bite has been solid. Local skippers running out of Papeete and Marina Taina have been into good numbers of **mahi‑mahi**, scattered **yellowfin tuna**, and some **wahoo** along the current lines and FADs southwest and west of Tahiti and between Tahiti and Moorea. A few **blue marlin** and the odd **sailfish** have been raised on the troll, nothing ridiculous, but enough to keep the lures honest. Boats are coming back with a mixed box: a handful of tuna in the 10–25 kg range, a couple of mahi per crew, and the lucky ones hanging a wahoo or a billfish tag. Best lures offshore right now are medium to large skirted lures in blues, greens, and lumo, run on the short and long corners for marlin and bigger tuna. For mahi and wahoo, smaller jet heads and bullets in pink/white or blue/silver are doing damage, especially when worked fast along the edges of weed lines or bird life. If you’re live‑baiting, a bridled small bonito or skipjack slow‑trolled around the FADs can be deadly on marlin and big yellowfin. Inshore, the lagoons and outer reefs have been lively. Lagoon fishermen and spearos around Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti have been finding **parrotfish**, **goatfish**, **jobfish** (tarao), and smaller **trevally** on the reef flats, with bigger **GTs** and **bluefin trevally** hunting the drop‑offs and passes when the tide is pumping. Night sessions on the reef edges are turning up decent **snapper** and **jacks**. For bait, you can’t beat fresh: small pilchards, cut bonito, or squid fished near the reef passes. On artificials, topwater stickbaits and poppers in natural baitfish colors work great over the reef ledges and bommies at first light, especially around passes where the whitewater meets the blue. Soft plastics on jig heads, worked along the bottom on the inside edge of the reef, will pick off goatfish and smaller reef dwellers all day. A couple of hot spots if you’re heading out: • The passes and outer reef edges around **Passe de Taapuna** on Tahiti’s west side: good for trevally, jacks, and reef species on an incoming tide, and a quick run to deeper water if you want to chase tuna and mahi off the drop. • The channel between **Tahiti and Moorea**, especially around the FADs southwest of Tahiti: strong pelagic action when the current and birds line up, with regular catches of mahi, tuna, and wahoo. Work the dawn incoming tide on the reef, then slide offshore mid‑morning when the sun is higher and you can spot birds and color changes. Wrap your day back on the reef at sunset with a popper or a bit of fresh bait, and you’ve got the full Tahiti package. That’s your report from Artificial Lure.

    Tahiti Early Dry Season: Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo on the Neap Tide Bite

    This is Artificial Lure with your Tahiti fishing report. We’re sitting in a classic early‑dry‑season pattern around Tahiti and Moorea. Light trades this morning, building to a moderate easterly breeze this afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, with a quick shower possible on the windward side, but leeward waters stay mostly fair. Air temps are running mid‑20s Celsius overnight, about 29–30°C by mid‑day. Lagoon visibility is good where the swell is down; outside reefs have a bit more chop once the trades pick up. Tides today are on a smaller, neap‑style swing. Expect a low just after dawn and a rising tide through the morning, topping out late morning to early afternoon, then easing back toward another low in the evening. That push of incoming water through the passes is your prime window. Sunrise came just after 6 a.m., with sunset just before 6 p.m. Your best bite windows are: - First light through mid‑morning on the **flood tide** - Last light on the evening **ebb**, especially near passes and reef points Fish activity has been solid the last few days. Local skippers working the drop‑offs between Tahiti and Moorea report steady **mahi‑mahi** on current lines and debris, with a few **yellowfin tuna** mixed in. Wahoo have been showing on the outer reef edges when the light is low, and the offshore banks have given up scattered **dogtooth tuna** on deep jigs. In the lagoons and nearshore reefs, anglers have been picking up **bluefin trevally**, **GTs**, and decent **jobfish** at the pass mouths on the morning tide. Around the bommies, there’s been good action on **parrotfish** and smaller reef species for the table when the current softens. For lures offshore, run: - Medium‑size **skirted lures** in blue/white, green/yellow, and purple/black for mahi, tuna, and wahoo - **Diving minnows** and high‑speed metal heads along the reef edge for wahoo - **80–200 g jigs** dropped deep for dogtooth and bottom fish Best natural baits: - Fresh **skipjack**, bonito, or saury strips - Whole or chunked **sardines** and small mackerel Slow‑trolled live bait near the reef drop‑off will tempt wahoo and big trevally. Inside the lagoon and passes, stick to: - 40–80 g **casting jigs**, stickbaits, and poppers in natural baitfish colors - Soft plastics on 3/8–1/2 oz jig heads for reef edges and channel drop‑offs A bit of pink or chartreuse on your lures helps in the lagoon’s clear water, especially under bright midday sun. A couple of hot spots to work hard today: - **Taapuna Pass (Tahiti west side):** Focus on the incoming tide along the channel edges for trevally and jobfish; outside drop‑off early and late for wahoo and tuna. - **Temae and Afareaitu side of Moorea:** Reef drop‑offs and current lines just outside the passes for mahi and tuna, with GTs patrolling the pass mouths at dawn and dusk. Fish smart: watch the birds, look for color changes in the water, and time your drifts with the tide. Keep an eye on wind against current—short, steep chop can build fast on the outer reef.

    Tahiti Early Dry Season: Trevally, Tuna, and Perfect Lagoon Conditions

    This is Artificial Lure with your Tahiti fishing report. Around Tahiti and Moorea today we’ve got classic early dry-season conditions: light trade winds from the east-southeast, 10–15 knots, with a passing shower here and there but mostly blue skies and good visibility on the reefs. Seas outside the reef are running about 1–1.5 meters, with calmer water in the lagoons. Air temps are sitting around the high 70s to low 80s, and the water is a warm 27–28°C, perfect for both reef and offshore action. Sunrise came in just after 6 a.m., with sunset a little after 5:30 p.m. That gives us prime low-light windows at first and last light, and that’s when the fish have been the most active. Tide is running a mid-morning high dropping toward an afternoon low, which means the outgoing tide at the reef passes is pushing bait off the lagoon edge and waking up the predators. Inshore, the lagoon and outer reef have been producing steady numbers of bluefin trevally, smaller GTs, and coral trout, with some nice emperor and jobfish mixed in. Local skiffs working poppers and stickbaits over the drop-offs have been reporting a half-dozen quality trevally in a morning, plus a few missed heart-stopping strikes from bigger GTs that didn’t stick. On bait, anglers soaking fresh squid or cut bonito along the channel edges are picking up goatfish, jacks, and the odd snapper for the table. Offshore, the FADs and drop-offs beyond the reef have been the main story. Charter crews out of Papeete and Punaauia have found good numbers of mahi-mahi and yellowfin tuna in the 10–25 kilo range, with the occasional bigger fish pushing 40 kilos. There have also been a few wahoo and small marlin encounters on the deeper edges. Boats dragging small to medium skirted lures in blue/white, pink, and lumo green, plus jetheads around the FADs, have been coming back with two to five pelagics on a decent day when they stay on the bait and birds. Best lures right now inshore are medium surface poppers in natural baitfish or blue/white, slim stickbaits worked fast over the reef crest, and 40–80 gram metal jigs dropped along the pass walls. Soft plastics on 1/2–1 oz jig heads in white, pearl, or chartreuse are taking trout and emperors when bounced near coral heads. For bait, fresh squid strips, small live fusiliers or sardines, and chunks of bonito are hard to beat; the fresher the better. Offshore, run skirted trolling lures between 6 and 9 knots around the FADs early, then switch to live or chunked bait once you mark fish deeper on the sounder. A live bait bridled just outside the FAD can be deadly for larger tuna and wahoo. Keep a spinning rod rigged with a heavy stickbait or fast jig—casting into busting tuna schools has been turning lookers into takers. A couple of local hot spots to focus on: • The Taapuna Pass area on Tahiti’s west side. Work the outgoing tide along the pass edges and outer reef with poppers and jigs for GT, bluefin trevally, and jobfish. Early morning here can be explosive. • The passes and drop-offs off Temae and Vaiare on Moorea’s east side. Good current lines form there, drawing bait, and boats have been finding mahi and tuna just beyond the reef, with solid trevally action on the inside. Plan your sessions around first light and the start of the tide changes, keep your leaders stout around the reef, and you’ll give yourself a real shot at something that pulls drag.

    Tahiti Dry Season Bite: Mahi, Tuna, and Trevally in the Passes

    This is Artificial Lure, checking in with your Tahiti fishing report. Out here around Tahiti and Moorea, we’re sitting under that classic dry-season pattern: light to moderate trade winds from the east–southeast, seas a bit lumpy outside the reef but calm and glassy in the lagoons early. Skies are mostly clear with passing showers on the windward side, just enough to cool things off. Air temps hovering in the high 70s to low 80s, water temps around 27–28°C, perfect for pelagics cruising the drop-offs. Sun rose just after 6 this morning, and sunset will be a little after 5 this evening, so your prime bite windows are that first hour of light and the last 90 minutes before dark. The reef really wakes up right after sunrise; the offshore bite has been better on the morning tide change. Tides around Tahiti today are running moderate, not extreme. Expect a low in the early morning with a decent flood pushing in late morning, and another ebb toward late afternoon. That incoming tide has been the key: cleaner water pushing over the reef and bait balls stacking along the passes. Offshore, the blue water outside Papeete and along the Faa’a to Paea drop-off has been productive. Local captains report good numbers of **mahi-mahi**, small to mid-size **yellowfin tuna**, and the odd **wahoo**. A few boats have raised **blue marlin** in the 150–250 kg class over the past week, with more consistent action on smaller billfish closer to Moorea’s outer banks. For lures offshore, stick with: - Medium-sized skirted lures in green/yellow, pink/white, and purple/black. - Bullet heads and jet heads for wahoo and tuna run a little deeper. - If the tuna are on small bait, switch to smaller feathers and cedar plugs trolled a bit faster. Nearshore and on the reef, the lagoon edges and passes have been lively. Spearos and light-tackle anglers have reported: - Good numbers of **bluefin trevally (tue-tue)** and **giant trevally (uru)**. - Plenty of **goatfish**, **parrotfish**, and **snapper** species for the table. - On calmer evenings, **bonefish** and small **jacks** on the flats around the motu sandbars. Best reef and inshore options: - Topwater stickbaits and poppers in natural baitfish patterns for GT and bluefin trevally along the drop-offs at first light. - Soft plastics on 3/8 to 1/2 oz jig heads worked along channel edges for snapper and goatfish. - For bait, fresh **bougna** (local sardine), squid strips, or small mullet chunks do the job. Fresh, not frozen, makes a big difference here. Two hot spots to focus on: - **Taapuna Pass** on Tahiti’s west side: incoming tide at dawn for trevally smashing bait on the surface, with the chance of a dogtooth tuna if you work the deeper edges. - The **north and northwest drop-offs off Moorea**, accessible by charter: troll skirts along the 100–300 m line for mahi and tuna, then work any bird piles or floating debris you find. If you’re fishing from shore, try the rocky points near Paea and the small wharfs in the evening; fish light leaders, small metal jigs or 3–4 inch soft plastics, and let the lure swing in the current.

    Tahiti Trevally Fire: Trade Winds Turn On the Reef Passes and FAD Lines

    This is Artificial Lure with your Tahiti fishing report. Out here around Tahiti and Moorea we’ve got classic trade‑wind weather this morning: light clouds, good sun, and a steady easterly breeze around 10–15 knots. Air temps are sitting in the upper 20s Celsius, the lagoon is warm and clear, and the outside reef edge has a bit of chop but very fishable. First light cracked just after 5:30 a.m., with sunrise a little before 6. Sunset will be just after 5:30 p.m. The best bite has been in that grey light—half an hour before sunrise and again late afternoon into dusk. Tides today are running a medium range with a morning high around mid‑morning and a falling tide through the early afternoon. That outgoing water has really been turning on the reef passes and the channel mouths, pushing bait out and stacking predators on the edges. Offshore, the bluewater crews working the FADs east of Tahiti and between Tahiti and Moorea have been doing well on yellowfin tuna in the 15–40 kilo class, with the odd bigger fish mixed in. A few dorado and wahoo have also come over the rails in the cleaner water lines. Skippers report better action once the sun is up a bit and the chop puts some texture on the surface. Inside the lagoon and along the reef, there’s been steady action on trevally—bluefin and bigeye—plus dogtooth tuna on the deeper drops, and plenty of reef hunters: jobfish, emperors, and coral trout. Around the bommies, smaller trevally and snapper have been chewing hard on the turn of the tide. For lures, the hot producers offshore have been medium‑size skirted lures in pink‑white, lumo, and purple‑black, run short and tight to the prop wash. Swimbaits and metal jigs dropped around the FADs are also finding tuna when they’re sounder‑marked but not coming up. Closer to the reef, casting stickbaits and poppers in natural mullet or flying‑fish colors are drawing violent strikes from GTs and big bluefin trevally when worked fast across whitewater. If you prefer bait, slow‑trolled or drifted bonito strips and small skipjack have been deadly on wahoo and larger tuna offshore. In the lagoon, fresh shrimp, squid strips, and small chunks of sardine or local baitfish on light fluorocarbon leaders are fooling snapper, goatfish, and smaller trevally, especially around structure on the dropping tide. Two hotspots to keep in mind: • The passes on the north side of Tahiti, where the outgoing tide piles bait along the drop‑off—great for casting poppers at trevally and running live or dead baits for dogtooth. • The channel between Tahiti and Moorea, especially near the FAD lines—prime territory for trolling skirts at first light and late afternoon for tuna and wahoo. Overall fish activity is good with the stable weather and regular trades. Focus your efforts around tide changes, keep an eye out for birds working, and don’t be shy about changing lure colors until you crack the pattern.
