This is Artificial Lure checking in with your Chile coast fishing report.

Along most of the central and south‑central coast this morning, we’ve got a calm Pacific mood: light to moderate southwest swell, generally 0.8 to 1.5 meters, with a soft breeze early that stiffens from the south in the afternoon. Skies along Valparaíso and San Antonio are starting with that classic coastal cloud cover, burning off toward midday, while farther south around Constitución and Talcahuano expect more cloud hanging in and a bit more wind later in the day.

Tides are running moderate, with a higher morning tide pushing bait onto the rocks and into the mouths of small bays, then easing off toward midday before building again late afternoon. Those early and late tide swings are going to be your best windows, especially for shore casting.

Sunrise is just after 7:30 local on the central coast, with sunset a little after 5:30 in the evening. That gives a tight but very fishy low‑light schedule: plan your serious casting for dawn to about 10, then again from 4 until dark.

Fish activity has been good the last few days wherever the current stacks bait against structure. Shore anglers have been picking up decent **robalo** and **corvina** in the surf pockets, with **sargo**, **vieja**, and smaller reef fish along rock ledges. Night and first‑light sessions have seen some solid **congrio** and the odd **reineta** from deeper channels and piers. Offshore and from the bigger boats, there have been steady **jurel** schools working bait balls, plus mixed bottom catches of **merluza** and other whitefish over rough ground.

Lure choice: for the surf, bring 28–40 gram metal jigs in natural baitfish colors, plus white or olive soft plastics on 1/2 to 3/4 oz jig heads for robalo and corvina. A shallow‑running minnow plug in mullet or sardine pattern can be deadly at first light when the water’s got a bit of chop. Over the reefs, small metal jigs and scented soft plastics get more interest than hard baits, especially when the water is clear.

For bait, pack **camarón**, **jaiba** pieces, or fresh **sardina** strips. Worms and local shellfish baits work great for sargo and reef species. For congrio and other bottom dwellers, use tougher baits like squid or thick sardine strips on sliding sinker rigs, fished just off the rocks or from the piers into deeper troughs.

Two hot spots to circle on your map:

• **Quintay and the nearby Valparaíso rock points** – Great mix of structure and current. Work metals and soft plastics along the wash at dawn for corvina and robalo, then switch to bait on the bottom once the sun gets higher. Piers and breakwaters here can also produce jurel when the schools push in.

• **Mouth of the Maule River near Constitución** – When the tide is moving, this area can light up. Cast upstream and swing jigs and soft plastics across current seams for robalo, and soak sardine strips or shrimp on the bottom near channel edges for mixed species. Evening sessions here can surprise you with some heavy fish.

Overall, think low light, moving water, and fishing tight to structure. Keep your presentations natural and be ready to move if the spot feels dead after a few tide changes.
