Komodo April 27: Full Moon Tides Fire Up GTs, Trevally, and Snapper

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishing guide here in Komodo, Indonesia. It's 3 PM on April 27, 2026, and the waters around our dragon island are firing up nice.Tides today: low at 6:20 AM, high 12:45 PM, dropping to low around 7 PM—perfect for incoming currents pulling baitfish into the shallows. Weather's classic dry season: sunny skies, 30°C air temp, light southeast winds at 10 knots, water around 28°C. Sunrise was 5:45 AM, sunset 5:50 PM, so you've got prime light till dark.Fish are active, especially with the full moon tides stirring things. Recent catches from local boats: plenty of **trevally** (up to 20kg), **gt giants** smashing poppers, **snapper** on the reefs, **mahi mahi** offshore, and **barracuda** hunting bait balls. Charters yesterday pulled 15-20 fish per trip, mostly giants in 50-100m depths.Best lures: stick to **stickbaits** like Yo-Zuri 140mm for GTs, **metal jigs** (200g) for trevs on the troll, and **poppers** at dawn. Live bait? **Sardines** or **flying fish** chunks rule for snapper—hook 'em whole on a 7/0 circle.Hot spots: **Banta Island** drop-offs for big pelagics, and **Pink Beach** reefs for snapper action—anchor up and cast.Tight lines, stay safe out there!Thanks for tuning in—subscribe for more!
