Phuket Hot Bite: Barracuda, Trevally, and Big GTs Tearin' it Up Sunday

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your local Phuket fishing guru, comin' at ya with the fresh report for Sunday, April 26, 2026, right around 4 PM local time. Skies are partly cloudy with light winds at 10-15 knots from the southwest, temps hoverin' at a comfy 32°C, humidity bit high but that's Andaman life. Sunrise was 6:15 AM, sunset 'round 6:35 PM—plenty daylight left to wet a line. Tides today: high tide peaked early mornin' at about 1.2 meters 'round 8 AM, now droppin' to low 'round 2 PM at 0.4 meters, then risin' again by evenin' per Tides4Fishing charts. Fish are active in this fallin' tide—solunar says average bitin' with major peaks at dawn and dusk. Action's hot lately! Local charters report barracuda and trevally tearin' it up offshore, with 20-30 fish limits on half-days. GTs up to 20kg hittin' hard near reefs, plus snapper and queenfish inshore. Kayak boys pullin' 5-10kg cobia on live bait. In the bays, mangrove jack and grouper stackin' up, some anglers boatin' 15-20 fish with squid jigs. Best lures? Go poppers and stickbaits like Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow for surface explosions on queens and trevs—work 'em fast over reefs. Soft plastics on jigheads for deeper jacks. Live bait kings: shrimp, squid, and small mullet on circle hooks for everything from barracuda to cobia. Hot spots: Hit Rawai Beach rocks at low tide for jacks and trevs—easy shore access. Or boat out to Racha Yai pinnacles, 10km south, where big GTs and snapper school up in 20-40m. Tight lines, stay safe out there! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for daily updates!
