STELLAR FISH CATCHES AT COSMOLEDO ATOLL

This week saw eight guests arrive on the shores of Cosmo, seven of which making the trip for the first time. Nick Bowles and Matt Born together with their friend Mark Taylor. David Anchell, Spencer Kennedy, Mike Molenaar, Mika Letho and Helena (Kitty) Ihamuotila.

The week started to a great start, despite the windy conditions, as Nick ticked the box off on the first day by landing an impressive 110 cm giant trevally on his bamboo rod. He ended up with a tremendous yellowmargin triggerfish, a bunch of bones, and a good number of giant trevallies. Mark had a stellar week by landing two giant trevallies over the 100 cm mark, the fish of the week is a monster 118 cm fish caught in the surf. He then ended his week off with a 113 cm giant trevally.

Matt had a solid week and ended up with a good bunch of giant trevallies and yellowmargin triggerfish. Spencer, who was entirely new to any saltwater fly fishing, managed his first giant trevally on fly and many other species throughout the week.

David had an outstanding achievement by landing a sailfish on the last afternoon, which put up a great fight before being successfully released. Mika managed to land the forever illusive Indo-pacific permit, which was tailing on a ray. Together a good giant trevally count and several decent bonefish left him with a great result at the end of the week. Kitty had a somewhat more relaxed, leisurely week. She enjoyed snorkelling, swimming, and beach walks that Cosmoledo Atoll has to offer.
