GREAT WEATHER FOR MILKFISH

Anglers experienced a brilliant week at Alphonse Island during the season’s fly fishing week. The weather was up and down over the week; however, this didn’t stop anglers from landing some really great catches. The tides transitioned into spring tides during the new moon phase, which allowed anglers to fish the surf as well as the lagoon of St. François.

The bonefishing was very good over the week, with the spring drop pushing bones off the flats. Anglers managed to land 227 bonefish over the week.

Day one was off to a good start for milkfish! And Mike landed two GTs measuring 94 cm and 74 cm. Day two was a good day for John Murray. John landed a massive 91 cm GT. Eric and Karin landed two GTs measuring 60 cm and 68 cm on day three.

On day four, Peter and Christopher landed two GTs measuring 64 cm and 69 cm. Mike landed a 73 cm GT on day six, and on day six, Greg and Jay landed their first GTs measuring 62 cm and 71 cm.

Another fantastic week was spent at Alphonse Island fishing at St. François Atoll. Memories were made, and bonds were formed that will last a lifetime. Stay tuned for next week’s report, as we are sure you won’t want to miss it.
