AN UNBELIEVABLE FISHING WEEK AT ALPHONSE ISLAND

What an incredible week of fishing we had this week. We were greeted by a group of guests who had been coming to Alphonse since the beginning. This week was definitely one of their stand-out weeks, though, and a week to remember, with some incredible catches and great weather.

The week started with two flat slams caught by Russel, landing two giant trevallies, a milkfish, and a bonefish, and Kevin caught his first moustache triggerfish, a bonefish, and the giant trevally of a lifetime measuring 105 cm. The slams didn’t end there, with Peter catching a slam on Thursday comprised of a milkfish, giant trevally, and bonefish. Tim topped everyone on the last day, catching a super grand slam comprised of giant trevally, milkfish, bonefish, and moustache triggerfish. Tony was deemed our bonefish king of the week, catching multiple 20+ bonefish and a good few fish over 60 cm. Teisha and Jeremy also joined the bonefish bonanza and got themselves 20+ bonefish, while Ryan, Julianna, Charles, Will, and George all caught their first bonefish. The giant trevallies were plentiful this week, with David catching his first giant trevally after a long dry spell. Jim, Paul, Tim, Kevin, and Russel all landed GTs as well, with Russel being the GT king of the week, landing four fish, with the biggest being 90 cm, beating his personal best. After a few lost battles with some very big giant trevallies, Paul finally landed a very healthy 90 cm fish on the last day and a sizable yellow-margin triggerfish earlier in the week.

On the bluewater side of things, Espen landed his first sailfish as well as a bonefish giving him a bills and bones slam. Russel and Kevin also managed to land bills and bones slams, as well as a wahoo each. The cook family joined us for a bluewater on Friday and caught some really nice fish, with Jeremey catching his first sailfish and Charlie, William, and Kathleen all catching their first wahoos. Well done to all our anglers for a phenomenal week of fishing. Tightlines, and we hope to see you back soon.

Tight lines,
