Phuket April Heat: Trevally and Queenfish Firing Up in Calm Andaman Waters

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your Phuket fishing mate, comin' at ya with the fresh report for April 25, 2026, right here in these Andaman paradise waters. Sunrise hit at 6:15 AM, sunset around 6:35 PM—perfect long days for chasin' the bite. Weather's classic hot season: 32°C highs, partly cloudy with light southerly winds at 10-15 knots, seas calm at 0.5-1m. Tides? Low at 7:20 AM (-0.2m), high 1:30 PM (1.8m), then droppin' low again by 8 PM—fish the incoming for best action. Fish are fired up post-monsoon, with trevally, queenfish, and GTs smashin' inshore reefs. Recent catches: boats off Patong hauled 20-30kg hauls of golden trevally and snapper yesterday; Racha Islands saw limits of barracuda up to 10kg. Local charters report mackerel runs peakin', plus solid coral trout and grouper on the deep drop-offs. Best lures? Rapala X-Rap 20g in silver for trevally jackin', or Zerek Live Flash Minnow 120mm for queenies. Go poppers like Yo-Zuri 40g at dawn/dusk. Bait-wise, live squid or half-beaked fish on circle hooks rule; fresh shrimp for bottom dwellers. Hot spots: Nai Yang Reef for easy kayak access and trevs, or hit Freedom Bay wrecks for big pelagics—anchor up and drop deep. Stay safe, check flags, and tight lines!
