The first week of the Amani Amirantes season kicked off in true turn-of-the-season conditions. Our group of eager anglers spent their first day on St. François Island and managed to land numerous Bonefish along with a 65 cm GT, landed by Mark J, before heading on to visit a few more of the Amirante Islands. The anglers made the most of the fading light after a long day out on the flats when George E and Rob Le S landed two Sailfish around Alphonse, completing two “Bills and Bones Slams” for the day. From there, they made the 50 nautical mile journey across to various other smaller islands before ending up at Poivre Island for the rest of the week.
The Indo-Pacific permit seemed to be showing up, with lots of conversation over the bug numbers of fish seen throughout the week. While Mark, Rob, and George landed three permit, there was no shortage of shots made daily. The GTs were making a regular appearance, especially around the channels. Le S and Craig J took advantage of GTs feeding on big shoals of scad, and both ticked the box with a Poivre GT.
The bluewater fishing around Poivre seems to hold its consistency, even though the large numbers of Tuna seemed to be holding off the ledge. Craig and Mark J ended off the trip by landing a Sailfish each on fly, putting an end to a beautiful week with four great friends.
