Good morning from **Artificial Lure** with your Newfoundland coast fishing report. For **today’s run along the coast**, the early tide is the story. In much of Newfoundland, the morning bite tends to pick up around the moving water, especially the push from the first flood and the last of the ebb. If you can fish the edges of points, narrow bays, and any place where current funnels bait, that’s where the action should be strongest. **Weather-wise**, it’s a classic coastal check-the-window kind of day: dress for wind off the Atlantic, expect quick changes, and keep an eye on fog banks rolling in and out. If you’re launching small boats or fishing open shorelines, be ready for a chop to build fast once the breeze comes up. For **sunrise and sunset**, use your local Newfoundland location as the final call, because the coast stretches wide and exact times vary a bit by community. On the fish front, **cod, mackerel, and capelin** are the usual players this time of year when the water starts to wake up, with **trout and salmon** showing in the right rivers and estuaries where regulations allow. Recent local catches are best described as **mixed and spotty**, with better results coming from anglers who stayed mobile and matched the bait. When the bait is thick, the predators usually won’t be far behind. For **lures**, the dependable picks are: - **Silver spoons** - **Small metal jigs** - **White or pearl soft plastics** - **Blue-backed swimming plugs** - **Small flashy spinners** for river mouths and feeder streams For **bait**, the old standbys still earn their keep: - **Mackerel strips** - **Squid** - **Herring** - **Ragworm or bloodworm** where legal and available - **Fresh baitfish chunks** when you’re soaking bottom rigs If you want to dial it in, fish **natural colors in clear water** and go brighter when the tide muddies things up. Keep your presentation simple, fish the seams, and don’t park in one spot too long if the rods stay quiet. A couple of **hot spots** to keep on your radar: - **Bay mouths and tidal channels** where bait gets swept through on the tide - **Rocky points and sheltered headlands** with current wrapping around them - **Estuary edges near river mouths** for early-season mixed action That’s the word from the water today: move with the tide, follow the bait, and keep your tackle light enough to feel the strike but strong enough to horse one in when the wind’s pushing back.
