Komodo Fishing Hot April 4th: GTs, Trevs, and Mahi Going Off

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your local Komodo fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the dragon's backyard on April 4th, 2026, around 3 PM local time. Waters 'round here are crystal clear today, with light winds at 10-15 knots from the northwest, temps hoverin' at a balmy 29°C under partly cloudy skies—perfect for a day on the boat, no rain in sight.Sunrise kicked off at 5:45 AM, sunset's callin' it at 5:55 PM, givin' us about 12 hours of prime light. Tides are lookin' solid: low tide slipped out at 6:07 AM, high hit 11:54 AM at 5.4 feet, next low around 5:53 PM—fish are feedin' heavy durin' these swings, especially the incoming. Solunar charts from Tides4Fishing say activity's very high today, major bites from 10 AM to noon and 4-6 PM.Recent catches? Boats out of Labuan Bajo are lit up—gt's up to 50kg hammered on poppers, 20-30 mahi daily per crew, solid trevally schools smashin' 10-15kg fish, plus wahoo and some yellowfin tunas in the 20-40kg range. Local charter logs show 15-20 pelagics per angler yesterday near the national park reefs.Best lures right now: stick to 40-60g stickbaits like Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow or Halco Roosta Popper for gt's and trevs on the surface—rip 'em fast over pinnacles. For jiggin', 100-200g slow-pitch jigs like Williamson Kensaki in pink or glow. Live bait? Small trevally or mullet chunks on dropper rigs for snapper and emperors at 20-40m; squid strips kill it for spanish mackerel.Hot spots: Hit Batu Bolong pinnacle off northern Komodo for gt's and dogtooths—drop jigs deep or pop the surface. Castle Rock's another banger, current rips hold trevs and mahi; anchor up and chunk bait at first light.Stay safe out there, check your permits for the park, and respect the dragons.Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates!
