Sawadee krub, this is Artificial Lure checking in with your Phuket fishing report.
Today the southwest monsoon is settled in: light to moderate southwest winds, humid, with scattered clouds and the usual chance of an afternoon squall. Air temps riding around the low 30s, sea surface sitting warm and sticky in the high 20s – classic Andaman wet-season conditions. Sunrise came early over the east side, sunset dropping behind the islands to the west, giving us that short but sweet dawn and dusk bite the locals live for.
Tides around Phuket are running medium to big, with a solid flood pushing in through the morning and a draining ebb through the afternoon. That incoming water has been the money window, especially the two hours before high and the first hour of the fall. The moving water is stacking bait around points, reef edges, and channel mouths.
Inshore, the last couple of days have been good for **barracuda**, **queenfish**, and **golden trevally** around Chalong Bay markers, the Racha ferry line, and the rocky points off Cape Panwa. A few **small GTs** have smashed lures tight to the rocks when the tide is really pumping. Night sessions on the piers and sea walls have turned up **snapper**, **grunter**, and the odd **squid**, especially when the water’s got a bit of color.
Offshore, the boats running out toward **Racha Yai and Racha Noi** have been picking up **bonito**, **tuna-sized mackerel**, and the occasional **sailfish** on the deeper drops and current lines. Bottom guys are getting **red snapper**, **grouper**, and **emperor** on the broken reef in 30–60 meters when the drift isn’t too wild. Numbers aren’t crazy, but steady: a handful of pelagics per boat on the better days, plus a good mix of reef fish for the icebox.
Lure anglers are doing best with small to mid-sized metals and minnows. Think 20–40 gram **metal jigs** worked fast for queenfish and trevally, and 10–15 cm **diving minnows** or stickbaits in natural baitfish colors for the cudas and mackerel. A slow-rolled **soft plastic paddle tail** on a jighead is deadly along reef edges when the sun gets higher. Topwater stickbaits and poppers can still fire up the GTs and queenies at first light and last light – just keep them tight to structure and in the current lanes.
For bait, **live prawn**, **small live fusilier**, and **live squid** are king. If you’re bottom fishing, fresh cut bait from local scad or mackerel will do the job on snapper and grouper. At night around the piers, a simple rig with peeled prawn or squid strip will keep the rod bending.
A couple of hot spots to circle:
– **Chalong Bay & Cape Panwa line**: Drift the channel edges on the incoming tide with jigs and minnows for queenfish, trevally, and cudas. Great for half-day runs.
– **Racha Yai / Racha Noi reefs**: Work the up-current sides of the reefs with metals and deep-diving lures for mackerel and bonito, then switch to jigging or bait for snapper and grouper once you mark fish on the sounder.
Fish the moving water, keep your leaders a bit heavier than you think – those cudas and rocks will test your knots – and don’t be afraid to change lure size if you see bait getting chased.

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Phuket fishing report.
We’ve got classic southwest monsoon conditions this afternoon: humid, air temps around the low 30s, light to moderate southwest wind pushing 10–15 knots, and a lingering chop outside the bays. Skies have been mixed sun and cloud with passing showers, but nothing too wild, just enough to cool things down.
Tides around Phuket today have been running a decent size. Morning high sat up around mid‑morning, dropping to an early afternoon low, then building again toward an evening high. That falling tide late morning into early afternoon fired the best bite, especially around reef edges and channel mouths where the current tightened up.
Sun popped over the horizon just after 6 a.m. and slipped down a little after 6:30 p.m., so the prime windows were first light until about 9 a.m., then that late‑afternoon push from 4 p.m. to sunset. Boat guys working those slots did noticeably better than the sleep‑ins.
Offshore west of Phuket, the game‑fishing crews have been into good numbers of school‑size **sailfish** and **bonito**, with a few **wahoo** and the odd **dorado** mixed in. Most sails have been small to mid‑grade, but there were a couple of nicer fish raised on the rips this morning. Skirted lures in pink–white and blue–silver, plus small rigged ballyhoo run short and tight to the prop wash, have been the producers. When the sun got higher and the wind pushed some chop, switching to darker skirts and running them a touch deeper kept the hook‑ups coming.
Closer in around Racha Yai and Racha Noi, the jigging crowd found solid **trevally**, **rainbow runners**, and a few reef **snapper** in 30–60 meters. Metal jigs from 40–80 grams in blue, silver, and sardine patterns worked with a fast lift‑and‑fall were the ticket. Where the current slowed, a slower pitch with a wider flutter got bites from fish hanging closer to the bottom.
Inshore around Chalong Bay, Cape Panwa, and up toward Bang Tao and Kamala, the light‑tackle scene has been lively. Plenty of small **queenfish**, **needlefish**, and mixed reef species for those tossing small spoons and 7–10 cm minnow plugs along the drop‑offs. Natural baits like fresh squid strips and small prawn on running rigs outfished artificials when the water went a bit cloudy after showers.
For bait, you can’t beat **fresh squid**, **small live baitfish** (hardy little fusiliers or scad), and **prawn**. If you’re running lures, pack:
- 10–14 cm diving minnows in blue–silver or green–gold for trolling.
- Small skirted lures in pink, lumo green, and black–purple offshore.
- 40–80 g metal jigs and a few slow‑pitch styles for the deeper reefs.
- Light spoons and soft plastics in natural baitfish colors for the bays.
A couple of hotspots to circle on your chart:
- **Racha Noi / Racha Yai reefs** – Work the edges where the tide hits the structure; great for trevally, runners, snapper, and the chance of a passing pelagic if you troll between spots.
- **Outer line off Kamala and Surin** – On days like this, the color changes and small current lines out wide have been holding bonito and the sails shadowing them. Run your spread across those rips and watch for birds and bait flicking.
If you’re shore‑bound, dawn sessions around **Chalong pier** and rocky points near **Cape Panwa** on a moving tide can still put you into fun mixed‑bag fishing with light gear.
That’s the Phuket fishing wrap from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

I’m Artificial Lure, checking in with your Phuket fishing report.
Out on the Andaman today we had proper wet‑season conditions: light early breeze building to 10–15 knots west–southwest in the afternoon, with scattered squalls rolling through. Local forecasts called for temps around 30–32°C, humidity thick, and seas running about 1–1.5 meters outside the bays. Sunrise was just after 6 in the morning, sunset just before 7 in the evening, giving us a nice, long low‑light window.
Tides around Phuket today were classic Andaman springs: big morning flood, strong afternoon ebb. The incoming pushed hard along the west coast points and the mouths of the east‑side mangrove creeks. Those current edges lit up when the water started to move; slack water in the middle of the cycle felt pretty dead.
Inshore, the longtail boys and kayak anglers reported steady action on **golden trevally, bigeye trevally, and queenfish** around Chalong Bay markers and the rocky points near Nai Harn. A few **Spanish mackerel** showed on the edges when the bait got pushed up. Catch counts weren’t crazy, but 4–8 decent fish per boat for the morning run was common, with the better boats doing double that by working the tide changes.
Best producers were small metal jigs and spoons in the 20–40 gram range, fast‑burned just under the surface when the birds started dipping. Natural bait—live scad and squid strips—did very well slow‑trolled along color changes and current lines. The locals soaking fresh prawn under a light sinker near the rocks picked up mixed **snapper, grouper, and rabbitfish**, plus the usual pickers.
Offshore on the drop‑offs toward Racha Noi and Racha Yai, charter skippers reported fair action on **tuna and dorado (mahi‑mahi)** around floating debris and FADs. Trolling small skirted lures in blue–silver and green–yellow patterns, plus shallow‑running minnows, raised most of the fish. A couple of boats picked up **sailfish** on rigged ballyhoo and dead squid, with the best bites coming mid‑morning as the sun got up but before the afternoon chop.
For bottom fishing on the reefs, squid and cut fish baits on simple paternoster rigs produced **red snapper, emperor, and reef grouper**. When the current was ripping, the boats that went a bit heavier on sinker size and stayed vertical did better than those drifting wide.
If you’re heading out, I’d pack:
- Hard lures: 20–40 g metal jigs, 9–14 cm minnows in sardine and mackerel colors, a couple of poppers for when the trevally bust up.
- Soft baits: paddle tails in white or pearl on 1/2–1 oz jigheads for working drop‑offs.
- Bait: live scad, live squid if you can get it, plus fresh prawn and cut fish for the reefs.
Two hotspots to keep on your radar:
- **Chalong Bay to Promthep Cape line** – Work the channel markers and rocky points on the flooding tide for trevally, queenfish, and the odd mackerel. Great for small boats and kayaks when the swell outside is up.
- **Racha Yai and Racha Noi reefs** – Classic Phuket offshore ground. Troll the edges for tuna and dorado, then drop bait or jigs on the structure for snapper and grouper when the sun gets higher.
That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a report.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Phuket fishing report.
We’ve just come off a building moon and the tides around Phuket today are running medium-high in the morning, easing to a gentler flow by late afternoon. Local tide tables for Chalong and Ao Makham show a decent morning flood, then a falling tide through midday with softer current toward sunset. That means the early push and the first part of the drop are your prime bite windows.
Weather-wise it’s classic early monsoon pattern: hot, humid, and mostly cloudy with scattered showers, light to moderate southwest wind and a bit of chop on the west side. Offshore the swell is manageable but enough to stack bait up on the edges of the reefs and drop-offs. Sunrise was around 6 a.m. with sunset close to 6:45 p.m., so that first light 6–8 a.m. and last light 5–7 p.m. are your money hours.
Inshore, the estuaries and mangrove creeks around Phang Nga side and north of Phuket have been giving up some nice barramundi and mangrove jack. Most local skippers are reporting a slower bite in the bright middle of the day, then a good flurry right when the tide starts to move again. Live prawns and small mullet have been the top baits, but soft plastics in natural baitfish colors and small suspending minnows worked tight to structure are doing damage.
Around the close reefs and islands like Racha Yai and Racha Noi, boats the last few days have been putting decent numbers of reef fish in the box: bonito, longtail tuna, rainbow runners, plus plenty of mixed bottom species like snapper, grouper, and emperor. The kings and Spanish mackerel have been hit‑and‑miss, but when the current lines form and the bait shows on the surface, they’re smashing fast‑trolled hardbodies and small metal spoons.
For lures, keep it simple:
- Offshore pelagics: small to medium trolling skirts in pink/white, blue/silver, and green over yellow; 20–40 g chrome metals for casting into bust‑ups.
- Reefs and wrecks: 40–80 g slow‑pitch jigs in silver, sardine, and pink glow; soft plastics on 1/2–1 oz jigheads for snapper and grouper.
- Inshore: 3–4 inch paddle-tail soft plastics in pearl or anchovy, and 90–120 mm shallow-running minnows in gold or brown for barra and jack.
Best natural bait right now: fresh squid strips, cut scad, and live prawns. With the water a bit stirred up, scent is a big plus. If you’re bottom fishing, run lighter leaders than you think you need, but still tough enough for the reef—30–50 lb fluorocarbon is a good compromise.
A couple of hot spots to circle on your chart:
- Chalong Bay out to Racha Yai: Work the drop-offs and pinnacles for snapper, grouper, and the odd king mackerel, especially on the first of the falling tide. Drifting jigs and bait over the marks has been very consistent.
- The west side of Racha Noi and the nearby seamounts: When the current lines up, this area can fire with tuna, rainbow runners, and the bigger predators hanging underneath. Keep one rod rigged with a jig and one with a metal for surface action.
If you’re land‑based, the rocky points on the west coast—Kata, Nai Harn, and up toward Kamala—can still produce queenfish, trevally, and the odd barracuda at dawn and dusk. Small metals, surface walkers, and stickbaits are the go; just be careful of swell and slippery rocks.
That’s the wrap from Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite report.

This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Phuket fishing report.
We’ve got classic southwest monsoon conditions now. Light to moderate southwest breeze in the afternoon, calmer at first light and again toward evening. Offshore it’s a bit lumpy but very fishable; inshore around the bays and headlands is comfortable in a longtail or small center console.
Sun came up around twenty‑to‑six this morning and will duck out just after six‑thirty this evening, so your prime bite windows are the grey light at dawn and that last hour before dark. Midday the sun is high, water clear on the surface, and the bite slows unless you go deeper.
Tides today are running a decent size, with a morning rising tide pushing into late morning and a falling tide through the afternoon into evening. That flooding tide around the points and channel mouths has been the ticket for the better fish, especially where the current wraps around rocks or reef edges.
Inshore, the action has been steady rather than crazy. Around Racha Yai and Racha Noi, boats have been finding mixed reef fish: lots of small to medium **trevally**, **rainbow runners**, **fusiliers**, **groupers**, and the odd **coral trout**. A few **queenfish** and **school mackerel** have shown on the surface when the bait pushes up. The numbers aren’t huge, but most crews are putting a dozen to twenty keepers in the box on a half‑day, with plenty of smaller fish released.
Pelagics are around, just not thick. Trolled skirted lures and small hardbaits off the drop‑offs have picked up scattered **wahoo**, school‑size **tuna**, and the occasional **dorado** on the cleaner current lines. Sailfish are more hit‑or‑miss right now, but every few days someone gets lucky on a live bait slow‑trolled along the contour.
Best lures at the moment:
- Inshore: 20–40 g chrome or holographic **metal jigs**, small **poppers**, and mid‑size **stickbaits** in sardine or mackerel patterns. Work them fast when the current is moving; slow flutter when it eases.
- Offshore: 4–6 inch **skirted trolling lures** in pink/white, blue/white, and green/yellow, plus diving minnows in natural baitfish colors.
For bait, you can’t beat **live squid**, **small live scad (pla kin)**, and **prawn**. Fresh cut squid strips fished on a running sinker rig continue to out‑fish most anything for mixed reef species. At night, a simple light and sabiki rig will fill the livewell quickly around the piers and moored boats.
A couple of hotspots to put on your list:
- **South end of Racha Yai** – The reef edge dropping into deeper water is holding trevally and grouper on the rising tide. Cast jigs up‑current and hop them back along the slope.
- **Eastern side of Racha Noi** – Good current lines and bait, with chances for tuna and wahoo on the troll and jig‑and‑bait action straight under the boat when the current is running.
Closer to shore, the rocky points around **Promthep Cape** and **Kata–Karon** are worth a dawn session with small metals and soft plastics for trevally and queenfish, especially on that first push of incoming water.
Overall, the bite is decent if you work the tide and low‑light periods, keep your presentations natural, and stay mobile until you find bait and moving water.

Good evening from Phuket — Artificial Lure here with your local fishing report.
Around the island today, the sea has been fairly settled, with light to moderate breeze and typical May heat building through the day. According to local tide tables for Phuket, we’re working a mixed tide pattern today, with the better water movement coming on the change of tide and the first push of the flood. That means your best window is usually early morning and again late afternoon into dusk, when baitfish stack tighter and the predators get a little less shy.
Sunrise today was around 6:07 AM, and sunset is near 6:44 PM, so the bite windows are short but sharp. The water’s been warm, and that usually keeps the action closer to structure: reef edges, channel mouths, and any place the current breaks.
Recent reports from local charter crews and shore anglers around Phuket point to steady action on barracuda, queenfish, trevally, and the occasional snapper and juvenile cobia. On the inshore side, anglers have been picking up mixed bags of small trevally and catfish, with sand whiting and squid showing in the right spots after dark. Offshore and along the drop-offs, the better stories have been coming from lure fishers tossing stickbaits and metals for fast-moving pelagics, while bait anglers have been doing well on cut fish and fresh squid.
For lures, keep it simple and natural: slim metal jigs in silver or blue, small to medium stickbaits, and soft plastics worked fast near reef corners are the ticket. If you’re fishing the calm morning water, a white or sardine-pattern popper can wake up queenfish and trevally. If the current is pushing hard, drop a jig and work it briskly. Around reefs and piers, a paddle-tail soft plastic on a light jighead gets bites when fish are feeding low.
Best bait right now? Fresh squid, small live baits if you can get them, and strips of fresh sardine or mackerel. According to local tackle shops in Phuket, fresh bait out-fishes old bait every time here — the smell matters more than the brand. For bottom fish, a simple two-hook rig with fish cut bait is hard to beat.
A couple of hot spots to check: the reefy stretches off Chalong Bay for mixed inshore action, and the calmer edges around Cape Panwa when the tide is moving. If you’ve got a boat, work the headlands and current lines off the west coast, especially where bait is getting pushed along the drop.
So the short version: fish the moving tide, stay near structure, throw silver if the water is clear, and use fresh bait if you want the locals’ results. Tight lines, and thanks for tuning in — please subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good day from Phuket, this is Artificial Lure with your local fishing report.
Around the island today, the sea is looking workable but a little moody, with that usual late-spring mix of warm water, light to moderate breeze, and scattered showers rolling through. According to local marine forecasts for the Phuket coast, winds have been mostly manageable in the mornings, with choppier conditions building later in the day on the west-facing beaches. If you’re heading out, dawn is the best window for comfort and bite. Sunrise is around 6:08 a.m. and sunset around 6:40 p.m., so the first light and last light have been the prime feeding periods.
Tides are the big clue right now. Phuket’s west coast has been moving through a healthy tidal swing, and local charter captains are favoring the first of the flood and the last of the ebb for active bites. Around inshore structure, moving water has been the key. When the tide pushes baitfish tight to rocks, points, and reef edges, that’s when the predators show.
Recent action has been a mix of reef and pelagic fish, with the better reports coming from boats working the drop-offs off Chalong, the islands south of Phuket, and the reefy ground toward Koh Hae and Racha. According to local tackle shop chatter and charter reports, anglers have been putting together catches of barracuda, queenfish, trevally, snapper, and the occasional grouper. On live bait, a few boats have reported steady pick-ups of smaller reef fish along with a handful of stronger runs from GTs and Spanish mackerel when the bait schools got pushed up.
For lures, keep it simple and fast. Small to medium stickbaits in sardine, chrome, or bone are getting attention on the surface at dawn. Metal jigs in the 20 to 60 gram range have been the best search tools when fish are holding deeper or when the tide gets moving. If you’re casting around reefs, soft plastics on a jighead in white or silver are worth a go, especially if the water has a little color. Topwater poppers can still wake things up on a calm morning over bait.
Best bait right now? Freshly caught sardines, small mackerel, squid strips, and live baitfish are the local favorites. If you can get live herring or small scads, even better. Around the reef, squid on a paternoster or drift rig has been producing steady bites, while fresh cut bait is doing the business for snapper and grouper.
Hot spots to try: the reefs and ledges off Koh Racha Yai for mixed action, and the rocky points and island edges around Chalong Bay and Koh Hae when the tide is running. If the sea lays down, the west coast headlands can also fish well for queenfish and trevally at first light.

Best lures: Poppers and stickbaits for surface explosions on barries and queens—try 40g metal slugs. Soft plastics or minnow vibes on jigheads for snapper and reefies. Live bait? Small squid, prawns, or garfish on circle hooks—can't beat 'em when tides move.
