MILKFISH MADE AN APPEARANCE IN THE LAGOON

The tides at Cosmoledo Atoll started with spring tides and ended with neap tides. Unfortunately, the weather did not play its part this week, with most days being extraordinarily windy and no rain shortage. Despite the poor conditions, all anglers stayed positive and gave it all they had. This is evident in the catches as there were definitely some unique fish caught and some memories made.

On a good note, the milkfish have made an appearance in the lagoon, and it looks like they are here to stay. The tricky triggerfish were definitely out and about this week, with nine being landed as well as many being lost.

Stephen Antinell was definitely in the good books with the fishing gods. He had an unbelievable week, landing five triggerfish, one milkfish, 15 bonefish, and five giant trevallies, along with countless shots at permit. Matt Giblin was not far behind, landing three giant trevallies, one triggerfish, one milkfish, and one bonefish.

It was a privilege to have Ed Aremia, a long-time Alphonse Fishing Company client, visiting Cosmoledo for the first time, and he did what he does best and ended up catching the biggest giant trevally for the week. Wesley Deagen did not miss out on the triggerfish action and captured his first-ever moustache triggerfish.

Well done to all our anglers for a phenomenal week of fishing.

Tight lines,
