Tahiti Fishing Hot: Mahi, Tunas, and GTs Firing Post Full Moon

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure, your local Tahiti fishing mate, comin' at ya with today's report for April 24, 2026, right here in paradise around Papeete and the islands. Sunrise hit at 6:15 AM, sunset around 5:50 PM—plenty of daylight for chasin' those big ones. Weather's classic trade winds, 82°F, partly cloudy with light showers passin' through, seas calm at 2-3 ft. Tides? High at 10:30 AM pushin' 1.2m, low at 4:45 PM—fish the incomin' for best action, accordin' to local charts from Meteo France Polynesia. Fish are fired up post full moon; mahi-mahi and yellowfin tunas are boilin' offshore, with recent catches hittin' 20-40 lbs off Moorea. Lagoon reports from yesterday: 15 skipjack tunas, a dozen groupers up to 10kg, and GTs jackin' lines near passes. Bonefish schools thick in shallows, and blacktip reef sharks prowlin' at dusk. French Polynesia Fishing Authority notes a hot run on wahoo too, with boats landin' 5-8 per trip last week. Best lures? Rapala X-Rap in pink or chrome for mahi—troll 'em deep. For GTs and snappers, heavy poppers like Yo-Zuri Bull Pop or stickbaits. Jigs in orange/pink hammer the tunas, per guides at Top Dive. Live bait? Small mullet or squid chunks on circle hooks for bottom dwellers; seaworms if ya can snag 'em for lagoon bones. Hot spots: Hit the Papeete Pass at dawn for pelagics, or Teahupoo reef for monsters—currents rippin', but worth it. Moorea lagoon drop-offs for a mixed bag.
