A week of GTs in tricky weather here on Alphonse, starting with strong winds, almost cancelling a day or two at the start of the week, but as the week progressed, the weather was spectacular with blue skies and windless days. However, we had harsh conditions that didn’t stop our anglers from catching some fantastic fish, with over 30 GTs being caught this week!
Jessie managed to catch his first, starting with bonefish, while Graham managed to catch his first bonefish over 60 cm. Miles, Peter, Jessie, and Graham also all managed to catch 20+ bonefish in a day, which crowned them a part of the 20+ Bonefish Club. On the GT side of things, Phillipe, Jake, Jessie, and Benoit all did really well and managed to catch their first 1st GTs, with Benoit getting a really nice first fish of 82 cm. Brian also managed a really nice size GT of 92 cm, although Bo definitely took the cake this week with a magnificent fish of 106 cm and her first fish over one metre. Bo also managed to catch an additional five GTs this week, making her the ultimate GT angler for the week. Kajsa was close behind, catching five in the week, giving their boat a total of 11 GTs, which is phenomenal!
Some other noteworthy GT anglers included Miles, who caught five GTs – one of which was a healthy 85 cm, Alister, who caught four, and finally Donald, who added a couple to his tally. However, Donald also managed to catch his first permit, which was an incredible achievement. Once again, we had one Slam this week caught by Jessie consisting of a GT (his first), a milkfish (another of his firsts), and finally, a bonefish.
That’s it from us here on Alphonse this week. Next week’s weather is looking spectacular, and with the spring tides coming up, we should have some phenomenal fishing.
